Newbie with Oldie seeks Lake District hook up (2 Viewers)

[HymaOnlyAskin]

Just fitted solar panels to our new vintage Hymer thanks to the excellent help on these forums! Have longed to get a motorhome for years! Finally found an AD2000 Hymer S680 in good condition and love it to bits. Two short trips so far - Malvern and Tenby. Learning all the time (first trip with no Wastemaster etc - upcamping to drive 100 meters for water :-[

Am planning to get a Suzuki Address 110 and then next trip to the lakes. I wonder if anyone can suggest a good site in the Lake District with reasonable facilities and nice views? Would be very handy if it also had good internet/4G. Also could anyone advise on a cheap way to secure a scooter in a motorhome garage? Many thanks!

Welcome

We like the CCC site at Keswick. Particularly if you can get a pitch with the lake views.

Enjoy

Fit eye bolts and use ratchet straps.

Fit eye bolts and use ratchet straps.

Works every time. Make sure things are secure.
Tob box will highly likely need to be taken off in order to go into garage. Suggest 2 helmet box as it makes address look bigger to cars behind. It also takes 2 helmets !
Ramps are 45 quiddish off normal eBay and Amazon.

There is a lovely CL in the middle of Coniston village. You could try google maps.

Yes indeed! Was hesitant at first - but the 5-cyl OM 602 engine with low miles made my mind up - have had this engine in previous vehicles. All serviced and running like a dream!
