A motorhome is likely to be one of the most expensive items you will ever buy. And, like anything else, it’s important to ensure your new purchase is the right choice of motorhome for you.

The first decision you are likely to have to make is whether to buy a new motorhome or a second hand motorhome. Obviously, this decision will largely be governed by you budget.

How to Choose a Tent for Camping

So you’re going camping! Choosing a tent that fits your style, needs, and locations can be a fun task. Make sure you’re not overwhelmed by bells, whistles, and deals. While those can all be great—you really need to concentrate on a few key points to ensure your home away from home will be everything you want and everything you need—even comfort!

Over the River and Through the . . . ?

No, that isn’t how the song goes, but you really need to consider where you’re going—the climate, the length of your trip, the seasons you plan on using the tent. For instance, would you use the same tent in Florida as you would in Canada? Depending on the time of year this may be true, but if you’re looking for shelter from a snow dusting you’re hardly going to pick the same tent you would pick for a humid Florida summer. Make sure your tent provides shelter from the elements and is made from a fire-retardant material—think of all the heaters or fire you may need to start if the evening gets cool. If you’re looking for a one-size fits all tent then you need to go camping in the summer. Otherwise, take these pointers and let the research begin! Read more…

UK’s Travel Networks Frozen Until Boxing Day

Any plans of a big thaw have been hampered today as forecasters report that a big thaw won’t start until at least Boxing Day or beyond, leaving thousands of travel passengers delayed, stranded or worst still, having their travel plans cancelled altogether.

So delayed were flights at Heathrow Airport that the government stepped in, and Phillip Hammond, Transport Secretary, relaxed night flight rules and regulations in a bid to get passengers in and out of the country. This means that flights into London will be allowed to fly 24 hours a day, and across the country until 1am in the morning up until Christmas Day. Whilst this will no doubt go a way to making a difference, most airports are running a much reduced capacity to normal. Read more…
