I once crossed China in one of these 'rolling hotels'. Great to experience scenery while laying like in an opium den setting. Food supplies via the sliding windows from local farmers. Grasshoppers and so. Great memories.

Fond memories indeed.

I would love to turn up on a caravan club site with that, just for the look on the faces of some of their stereotypical customers.

Needs a bit of astroturf and perhaps a pot plant either side of the doors to finish out off though.

That sliding door must have been a bugger to fix so they

Anyone see the £1,000,000.00+ motorhome programme on TV last night?

They kept banging on about the freedom to just get up & go wherever they wanted, but completely missed the bit about where to park a coach sized vehicle when you actually get somewhere.

The only thing that did impress me was a £3500 toilet that incinerated all the waste & left just a few ashes.

I watched that program, the guy did a great job, but did you see the support leg for the trailer ?

IMO useless on most camping sites unless on hard stand

Chuck it on a jacking board it will be fine. And a good way of getting the trailer level too. Assuming it has a brake!
