Welcome!
Don't fret, it's not rocket science but it's only dumb not to ask for advice.
Go somewhere local to home to start with and don't load up with lots of 'essentials' but buy stuff that you find you actually need.

Welcome

The MOTORHOMEfun magazine first issue is worth a look as covers a lot of the basics us newbies need to know but are afraid to ask

Hi there

No Question is stupid if you don't know you have to ask to find out

There is a wealth of knowledge here - OK some of them will have been on the Wine so give you daft answers but don't worry we al have to start somewhere

Welcome.

Just when you think you don't know anything, you realise you know even less. Just get stuck in, and do the jobs yourself if you can - that is the fastest way to see the blinding flash of the obvious.

Beautiful motorhome with a kitchen larger than you find in some flats.

Welcome to the fun!!!

1st thing to remember... when you want you're water boiler on gas don't forget to take the oblong cover off the vent by the toilet cassette door! I always forgot on our AT at the beginning of ownership and spent 10 minutes running around trying to figure out the red light on the knob!!

MHF is a mine of very useful information, everyone will help answer your queries and also get their heads together to find solutions... best subscription I've ever paid for.

Welcome from another MH virgin. So new to it I haven’t made final decision on choice of two vans, one autu and one manual!

Hi and welcome, I bought my MH 2 years ago at the age of 63 and being female had never driven anything that big. On my first trip out, I was on here getting advice on the electrics, loo and hook-up, without the help of the Funsters I'd have packed up and sold the lot! So glad I didn't, now travel all over the UK, love it to bits, go to a couple of the fub meets and looking forward to retiring next yeat to go to more. Still make a mess of things now and again but hey ho it all adds to the fun! Good luck, I'm sure you'll love it!

 

[Ginster]

Oops, too much wine!!

 

[Sunseeker 115]
