I have notice of new videos this chap makes, I think his name is Dave, he joined facts, but wasn't made very welcome if I remember rightly. The Lake District.

Yeah they dont like people who are clearly there to flog summat although Im not sure what this bloke is flogging apart from driving people to his channel. Sounds like a bit of a knob

When we had a caravan there was no (or extremely limited) options other than to rock up at a site, use the shower/toilet block and all park facing the correct way withing so many inches of the pitch peg. I feel that motorhomes give their owners much broader options for their use and hence we all have differing views on how they should be used to get the most out of them and that tends to fuel arguments on these dedicated forums.
We speak to a couple who holiday in Goa who have a motorhome. They never use the aires or wild camp as they feel they would be targeted for gassing, robbery or alien abduction as they have a very expensive van. They also need a toilet block as they don't use their 'Thetford' for solids or use the shower as it requires lots of water. However that said when we get together the talk is about the travelling and not camping. I have the view that it is their van, their money and their holiday and it is down to them what they do with it. Mind you I don't think that are quite ready for Fruitcakes yet...

Yes, Tel, it's very easy to criticise others when all they're doing is just "not doing it like us". I've tried all sorts of camping and what I do now is the right balance FOR US. But I still larf at tuggers who spend HOURS getting pitched. Twats!

We had a week 'conventional camping' as we had the children with us so needed the aw-ning all connected up. Feck that for a game of soldiers every time we moved on (in fairness it is a god awful aw-ning as you have to clamp the wind out to the frame). They had glamping pods on the site and I was surprised that they provide absolutely feck all with them just a shed and a small one at that, however that said they were fully booked out.

Tell them to sell the fecking thing and just go on a package holiday. I've met Tuggers in France who like to gleefully tell you that kind of shite about gassing and crime if you use Aires or wild camp. In return in always take great pleasure in telling them they are talking complete horse shit. It's always that they heard from "a friend of a friend" an all. Wamkers.

I hate everything associated with the word 'glamping'. Ray. I dunno . Even up an Alp in a blizzard at -20 , it’s hard to think it’s anything but glamping . Under floor heating . Hot shower . Cozy bed . Fully stocked bar . No exactly hard . Unless your big freezes ☹️

If the masses get to know how fecking cozy it is we will never get any berths on the aires...I am so glad that those motorhoming gassing basturds are still rampant in Europe.

Currently wildcamping in Manchester - cul-de-sac on a trading estate, overlooking a park, shade of trees, no traffic, no pedestrians. Nice. So-called 'Glamping' is an attempt to put people in sheds with a fan heater and a sleeping bag. And charge the earth for it. Good luck if they can get away with such nonsense.
