Had a MH for a year now and we have booked up to take a Brittany Ferries sailing to Santander in May.
Plan is to take a month to meander back to the channel ports.
We arrive in Santander at about 17:00 , so say off the boat by 18:00
Would some experienced funsters please help with the initial plan for when we arrive?
1) Pondering the fridge situation. Since it can not run for the duration of the voyage (24 hrs odd). What do funsters do? Do you load the fridge and get it cold on the UK side or put the minimum in and stock up on the Spanish side? Are there any sites you would recommend (as apart from Aire's) that might offer proximity to a supermarket, whilst we recover for a night or so ?
2) Where would funsters suggest staying for a couple of nights?
I have the Camper Connect app , Search for sites and might have bought books by then etc. and have done some considerable Googling but I would welcome suggestions from those who have been before.
3) I note , at least from 'street view' that some Carrefore's have large blue entrances that might be a problem in a MH. have not found out what height they are. Any advice?
4) We want to do enough planning to stay a couple of days getting our bearings and stocking up before then taking a brave pill and heading for an Aire or another campsite.
5) What's the situation going to be like in May with respect to how full places generally are ?
Thank you
