LordThornber Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well Poppy we have been that daft, I once cleared the drive of snow with a hot water hosepipe so as to get the van out of it's car (van) port. Even I'd draw the line at this weekend though 8-) Enjoy yourselves though, it's what you make it. Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sshortcircuit Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hypothetical. We are aware from weather warnings that going out in a MH would be a "questionable" action. In the event of it getting blown over etc, would an insurance company not say you acted recklessly. It is a recreational type vehicle and would you have justifiable reasons to be foolhardy to use it? Im using all the politically correct words, but only a fool would drive a MH in gale conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz43 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 i drive a van as big as my motorhome every day for work i cannot sit at home because of a little bit of wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshortcircuit Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I did say "gale" and I did say "recreational type vehicle" The lorry driver sitting on the M6 have to earn their corn, but they are not being foolhardy to attempt over Shap.

sshortcircuit Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 GAZ I did say "Hypothetical. We are aware from weather warnings that going out in a MH would be a "questionable"" I did not identify where. A gale can be anywhere at any time. You got a problem with sensible behavour for MHs or as "WhiteVanMan" you can be out in all conditions the attitude we should adopt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breakaleg Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 last march in a auto sleeper clubman, beautiful morning (just like today) followed by six inches of snow and a 80 liter lolipop under the van, (formally known as a water tank) pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 We were booked onto the Edinburgh site for a few days of culture but cancelled after the weather forcast for this area was blizzards, gales and freezing temperatures over the weekend. They also predicted power cuts. In the event of a power cut didn't fancy leaving the house to fend for itself. Two years ago, in March, we were on the Grantown on Spey site. We had to dig ourselves onto a pitch through 2ft of snow. Stayed put for a few days needless to say. Froze up over night but managed to thaw the van out during the day. All good fun. Might have given up but it was a 'special' birthday for me so be blowed to that. In the event, the Highlands in the snow were magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith T Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi Poppy...we've been 'away' in the motorhome since the end of November, as a result of selling yup in Cornwall, and hoping to buy in eastbourne - the latter taking rather longer to get sorted out then expected. Currently we're at Baltic Whsarf CC (brsitol) - great site,k so far exc wether....also stayed at Abbey Wood London, and Brighton CC sites. It's good, although as you may expect for what is now 3 months or more a little restircintg on space. However, we're coping - sofar......Go for it, is what I'd say.
