webby1 just keep some cheap beer and wine in the fridge, so you're ready to offer it to officials if required. They're not greedy.
Hide the good stuff ??

We paid €190, a saving of €10.

The flyer I posted on this thread quoted €180.

Thank to all, with a bit of dismantling & hitting with a hammer! We now have a working water pump!

That’s how I fixed mine the last time.
Boosh with a hammer

Boosh! what kind of term is that ??? Must be out of the Valleys! Bosh! Marc, Bosh! a pucka term from the heart of the midlands. Mena says hello.

Frs are the best one. We ve used Tarifa Tanger Ville four times, much better and quicker. Carlos usually does it for Eur200 ooen return. Just need to watch the height as its a cat only 2.8m at the front so we have to turn round in the rear bit.

So We are loving Spain and drawing to the end of our winter trip, and what perfect way to end it in planning the next trip. We are looking at heading to Morocco and I have a few questions:

*We want to take our dog, what is the situation regarding insurance?

*Is it safe to take our dog to Morocco, understandably we would avoid some places such as city centres.

*What is the average cost for campsites, is €12 a good average to expect ?

*Motoring assistance - Red pennant does not cover Morocco, who does and what are the costs?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

Hi mrwexpress there is plenty of info available - at the risk of repeating myself, as a start read my article in Resources or in edition 2 of the new MotorhomeFun Magazine. Also read the rest of this thread.

But to answer your questions:-

Dog Insurance - not sure what you mean, better ask your own insurer.
Dog safety - never had problems with ours, just need to be as careful as you are anywhere else.
€12 will get you a very nice pitch indeed - think more like €8. Plenty of alternatives from free/£1 per night
Motoring assistance - you're on your own with that one I'm afraid. Your breakdown insurance will probably tell you to get it back to the European mainland and keep the receipts, if it is undriveable. But it would have to be pretty bad for any Moroccan mechanic not to be able to fix.

Happy to answer anything else you're worried about.

Insurance for the dog?
It is safe to take your dog to Morocco, yes keep it on a lead unless you are sure there are no wild dogs about, like an empty beach of which there are plenty, city centres are also fine, our Tilly goes virtually everywhere with us, we leave her in if we go out in the evening as she’s getting a bit older now and doesn’t like the dark too much anymore (eyesight I think). Make sure inoculations are up to date, including rabies, and have the titre test done well before travel, 120 days I think.

Campsites in Morocco will probably not be what you expect, although some are getting to a decent standard, many are not, £12 would be quite expensive. Very often the facilities are abysmal but don’t let that put you off as many are in beautiful locations. I am at Camping international Moulay Bousselham at the moment, I love it here but, you wouldn’t especially want to use the showers, toilets or washing machine unless you were desperate, electricity is available if you can find a point that works and you don’t blow yourself up plugging in (I didn’t), you can empty your cassette and get fresh water and it’s 80 MAD a day, about £6. It’s by a lagoon and a short walk up steep steps to the promenade (there is an easier longer way) with small souk, shops and restaurants. I was last here 5 years ago and nothing has changed (or been fixed) that’s about par for the course, if you pay £12 and over for a site, that will normally have been kept better, it’s changing slowly, but Morocco is Morocco which is the attraction for many people. As for red pennant, there are no breakdown services that cover Morocco to my knowledge including ADAC which may reimburse you but you have to sort the problem out, although most things can be fixed and there’s usually a man that knows a man. There are lots of people who have had things fixed here including me, others will be along directly to give you more information.

just go and enjoy, read all the threads on here and you will be well prepared, and don’t worry too much, join up with others initially to break the ice, there are normally between 5 and 20 members of this forum who go every year.

We were going to go to Moulay Bousselham this time last year but we're put off by reviews about it being full of mosquitoes.

What's it like for mossies there now?

[Hotelman]

The secret is go with the flow’ if it’s full of mozzies, either don’t stay or stay one night and move on. If you love it then just stay longer.....,

Latest leaflet. No price.

 

[TerryL]

We're now parked up at Castellar de la Frontera, ready to move on to Los Palomes tomorrow to meet up with a few others, ready to cross to Maroc on Wednesday (PM sent to all who've contacted me). If anybody wants to join us last minute please be at Carlos parking by 1300 tomorrow (Tuesday) and look for us there.

canopus see you've crept past us Ken! (I've got spies everywhere!) Glad to see you've made it this year, have a safe crossing and we'll do our best to stay out of your way!

[canopus]

Well TerryL what can I say, I wasn’t aware I had to report my position to you. I didn’t creep past you, as I didn’t know where you were in the first place, and regarding staying out of our way, your choice chum. ?

love & kisses to Brenda xx

I deliberately waited to answer this as to be honest I never noticed the mossies last time or yesterday, however we went up to town during the day and the onsite place if we ate in the evening, today we stayed on site had a bbq, no problems whatsoever....until 6pm when they attacked, just went indoors so no real damage done, I wouldn’t let it put me off coming here though, it’s a nice place (see previous caveats)

 

[canopus]

I’ve never had barbecued caveat, any good?

Being deaf it doesn’t bother me but there is apparently a dog that barks through the night up in the town, (Moulay) those with radar ears can hear it!

As you well know Ken I save the “other” for very good friends

 

[canopus]

As stated earlier, the price to cross to Tanger Med from Algeciras is €180. It’s more if you have a trailer + €20, and that’s whether you’re French, Dutch, German or a Funster.?
