Ruth has made passing reference in past blog entries to the wealth of information available to motorhomers. For any new or would-be motorhomers browsing this blog, herewith links to some useful sites:

Blogs:

For information about sites and general areas, my favourite is Carol and Anthony Kubicki’s blog, detailing their travels around the UK and Europe (including a “mid-life gap-year”):

"The World is our Lobster" details the travels of Catherine and Chris, who visited all 47 countries in Europe in a 3 year trip; whilst there is less specific information, it reads more like a good travel book:

Adam and Sophie have travelled widely, and their site has a lot of helpful hints about touring (especially Europe), and also on electronics (they now run a business called Motorhome WiFi; we bought an antenna and booster from them at the NEC show last year):

The most popular motorhoming magazine is Motorcaravan and Motorhome Monthly (usually known just as MMM):

If all other sources fail, somebody on Motorhome Facts forum will know the answer to just about any query. They have been a great source of help, particularly on overseas travel:
