This has been happening a lot lately.
The first year we had MoHo we found some amazing places with a combination of Googlemaps and OS Explorers. Wild camped most nights. I took MoHo down some particularly tight singletrack lanes to find beautiful parking spots. I manoeuvred with little problem around vehicles heading the other way. and generally utterly loved our first year of motorhoming.
These days (now into year 3 of MoHo ownership) increasingly I feel apprehensive when taking her out. I worry about whether we'll get stuck, if we can fit down little roads, if I'll find somewhere to park; and coming home will someone have blocked my parking space...
It seems daft and it's really irritating. Once we're on the road I love driving MoHo, but whereas before I would happily drive to whatever isolated spot my navigator directed me; now I am reticent to leave main roads and only happily go to places we know we can park.
I think it is partly that a lot of the spots we visited in the past have removed the overnight parking charges for no overnighting signs; and the rise in >6'-6"< signs and height barriers around to deter us from entering places where as previously we have passed with no issue.
I guess I no longer feel the same freedom MoHo once offered and feel more like a nuisance.
Why? I don't want to be a boring fart worrying about these things. I want to get back to enjoying the adventure as I used to.
