Yes, we have one dog-friendly motorhome available.  Please request this at time of booking.

All our motorhomes are winterised meaning that use during the winter is not a problem.

If fitted, make sure that the gas valve on the bottle is in the off position. You will find a gas spanner in the kitchen drawer. Use this to remove the gas regulator. (The gas regulator has a left hand thread turn. You will need to turn it clockwise to undo it. Put this on to the new gas bottle and turn anti clockwise to tighten. Turn the gas on and ensure that there is no smell of gas present. Above the gas bottle is a yellow isolation valve, this needs to be horizontal with the gas pipe (see user manual for more information). Some models have a small button on the regulator. When the gas bottle is switched on and all valves are open press this twice to pressurise the gas system.

The fresh water tank has an indicator inside the motorhome which will tell you how much water you have in the tank to use. (Check user manual for details). Top the water up when this indicator gets low to avoid running out of water.

Yes you can, optimum fuel economy is achieved with all tanks empty but there is no other reason for tanks to be empty to travel.

The waste water tank has an indicator inside the motorhome which will tell you how full it is. (Check user manual for details). Empty the tank when it is approaching ¾ full or full. If the weather is very warm sometimes the waste water can develop an odour. In this case empty the waste water more regularly regardless of whether the indicator says it is full or not.

This really depends on how much you use it. The best way to tell is to look inside the cassette from inside the motorhome toilet. There is an indicator on the toilet inside the bathroom that will illuminate when full, this is when you definitely need to empty it.

All of our motorhomes require diesel.

If you are on a pitch that is sloping you can use the ramps in the garage. If you position the ramps under the wheels and drive up on to them then you may find that you are in a better position. Obviously this is rarely perfectly level depending on how much the pitch slopes. Experimenting with the ramps is the best way to solve this. Or if really bad ask to move to another pitch.

Refer to the user manual, everything you need to know is in there.

In England, it is illegal to park overnight in an undesignated area e.g. roadside layby, supermarket or service area car parks.  We recommend you book an approved campsite or motorhome stopover.
