Living There
Have you ever taken a motorhome holiday? If your previous holidays have always involved hotel stays you could be missing out on the many advantages that a motorhome offers. Here are just some of the benefits you could enjoy on your next trip:
Save money with a motorhome
Although fuel is more expensive than ever, studies have consistently shown that motorhome holidays will save you money compared with a hotel stay of similar duration. This goes for everyone from couples to extended families although savings mount up as occupancy and holiday duration increase. There are two main reasons why this is the case: airline tickets and hotel rates have continued to rise, especially when you start booking extra seats, and rooms and eating out is significantly more expensive than cooking for yourself. Of course, you can decide to eat out even on a motorhome holiday, but the facilities available for self-catering are so good that you’ll be content to save the restaurant for a treat.
Home from home facilities
Although facilities will vary depending on the specific motorhome you hire, you will generally be spoilt with a kettle, fridge, oven and microwave, not to mention heating and plenty of water. At the end of a hectic day of sightseeing you will be able to fully rewind in a spacious living space, watch TV, play games with the children, have a steaming cup of tea or ice-cold beer and actually enjoy your holiday.
Be your own master
Scheduled activities and guided tours are OK for some, but isn’t part of the appeal of a holiday in getting away from the need to be somewhere at a specific time? With a motorhome holiday, you wake up naturally, set off when you like, stop when and where you like, eat your own food at mealtimes that suit you and go to bed when you’ve had enough (with your own linen). There are no check-in times to wait around for or check-out times to be up for.
Share special moments
Motorhome holidays leave you with special memories that a hotel stay just can’t beat. Whether it’s the shared stories with other motorhome owners as you toast marshmallows over a camp fire, or the bonding time between you and your family while travelling through idyllic scenery you will look back on your motorhome holidays as special times.
If you’re still undecided about swapping your annual hotel break for a motorhome holiday, you could always try a weekend away as a taster. Many motorhome hire companies offer limited time deals with generous discounts.
