Aire Space; How do you like yours? (1 Viewer)

[bigtwin]

Currently on an ‘Aire’ in Spain where there is some abysmal positioning, it begs the above question.

[claude et maude]

Definitely on one side but if I’m tired from driving I could be in any position at any angle.

 

[PeteH]

Brings tears to the eyes, just thinking about it?

Our van is a French registered so obviously we park as close as we can to UK reg vans habitation doors, otherwise, we try to park in the middle of the spaces

 

[glenn2926]

Ours is a Chausson. Hab door on rhs. Try to park next to U.K. van then hab doors are on opposite sides.

 

[Jenka]

I follow the French park exactly where I like ? Popcorn!

Not fussed about the issues in the survey but where possible we park so our sliding side door isn't looking directly at someone's habitation door. This usually means parking facing the opposite way to everyone else. If they have all backed in we will drive in nose first.

 

[Minxy]

It could be either, depending on whether there are already other MHs parked or not, if so, and they have parked to one side, then we will too, if not then in the middle ...

 

[Littlewheels]

Always park on the blank side of the adjacent MH for both Privacy and Courtesy, always try and avoid PVC’s , sorry they drive you crazy. they are always in/out and the same in the middle of the night so we know they are not taking in the night air.
I appreciate there are considerate PVC owners but others are a pain, why can’t electric sliding doors be compulsory on PVC/Campers, Almost silent.
Sorry went a bit off topic.

The most disturbance we experience is usually from other MHs, ie coachbuilt or A-class, not PVCs, as some owners seem to be totally obsessed with looking what's in their lockers again, and again ... and again!

You ask how do I like my aire space
that’s easy ANYWHERE THATS HOT ?

 

[Richard n Ann]

Depends on the Aire really, if narrow parking bays like a car park, in the middle. If they are a bit wider I'll allow more room for the door side.

 

[Shrimp]

All depends mostly on the Aire.....wether you gpet an allotted space or it’s just a free for all!

[Clarky]

Here's how we like ours.
Plenty of space and a little privacy, plus a view of the sea.
Oh, and preferably plenty of sun.

 

[The Wino]

It's an aire you just get what you get if you're worried about privacy pay for a site!

 

[rick brind]

1 it's an aire which is basically an overnight stop so why worry as long as you can get in or out your van.
2 drive in or reverse depending on which side your neighbours hab door is.
3 if you have a LHD one side and RHD toss a coin ???

I guess you missed “clearly marked bays” bit? ?

[The Lord Squid]

I'll park for the best view when I open the rear doors on my PVC.

Not much privacy on this aire.
Still among our favourites though.

I like aires and often find being next to people we meet them more

What’s a PVC ?

It is home to a particular type of fetishist. One who gets aroused by sliding their door shut making as much noise as possible. Maximum gratification seems to be achieved very early in the morning and as close to midnight as possible.

They are annoying, but not as annoying as those with alarms that beep when they lock and unlock the doors and go off in the middle of the night. We always know where the Brits have parked......

I am soooo sorry I missed the vital bit in the question!

If the view was a choice between a Carthago, or a Hymer, then which would you consider the best view? ?

Assuming a view of a harbour, illuminated city or snowy mountain peak is not available, a view of an RMB.
