The benefits of motorhomes – why you should think about one for your next holiday

Ever come down to breakfast one morning during your summer holiday, looked around the hotel dining room heaving with screaming kids, laden with adults who are piling far more food on to their plates than they could ever possibly eat, looked at the serving range covered in baked beans, splattered with egg, and thought: why am I doing this? Or tried to pitch up your tent in one of the howling gales that seem almost to come as part of the service on most British camp sites? If you've ever had either of these experiences or feelings, then it's time you started to think about the benefits of motorhomes.

A motor home combines everything that is great about a hotel (water proof; heated; proper furniture), everything that's great about self catered accommodation (working gas and electric appliances); and everything that works about camping (being outdoors; eating in the open air) – without any of the bad stuff. With a motor home, you've got your tent ready made or your hotel room on wheels. You've got your self catering accommodation anywhere you care to park it. You don't have to share a breakfast room with a million yelling guests and you don't have to wait until the bar is open to have a drink.

The benefits of motorhomes are endless, comfortable and enjoyable. Bring your own bar. Set up outside the van, put up an awning, kick back with the grill on and watch the sun go down.
A motor home means simple holidaying, with a great deal of style and comfort thrown in for good measure. It also means that you have a great deal of say in what kind of accommodation you'll be sleeping in before you even leave your house. This is one of the great benefits of motorhomes – whether you buy or hire, you can be sure of a great piece of accommodation because you've chosen it at leisure. When you have a motor home, you choose the kind of room you like best before you even go on holiday – then you find a lovely place to take that room to. This is the best of both worlds, in action. Usually you'll either find a great place to stay in an uninspiring location – or a wonderful location with no good rooms left in it. With a motor home, you have your room ready made – so you just have to find a great place to park it.

The benefits of motorhomes, then, are basically all the good parts of every excellent holiday you ever had – rolled into one bundle of fun and bereft of any bad point. You pick your steed, you get in, you fire it up and you drive away in search of freedom. You've already got your comfort assured. Happy holidays!
