Welcome to Motorhomefacts, we are a thriving motorhome community (Largest in Europe). Why Not JOIN NOW and get instant access to more of the website. It costs nothing to join and only takes a few minutes. We have 200,000 different people visiting our site monthly and this amount of motorhomers in one place guarantees a fast response to any questions you may have. We also have unique facilities not found elsewhere such as our Online Logbook, stopover tracker, Motorhome directory with Ebay type feedback and the largest repository of motorhome campsites reviews found anywhere
Not living in the UK it's got to be a 'No' vote from us
As a general rule for overnight stops we try and find towns or villages that provide, usually, free overnight stopping places for motorhomes with toilet emptying facilities and fresh water.
The most we pay if we stay on an Aire, usually near or on the coast, for overnight stops is 5€ or 6€.
if anyone ever contacts us and I don't reply within two days, please do hassle me, as normally I'll get back to you the same day. The only time it might take longer is if we're at a motorhome show.
Hi Steve
In that case....Email resent about a possible site down our way....they seemed quite keen at the time

Hi bungy69,
Yes, did contact them but no immediate response - one of the minor bugbears is actually managing to get in touch with the right people at the venue. Sometimes it can drag out over a period of time before I strike lucky. Will try again next week. Apologies for not sending an initial acknowledgement.

Oh, and cabby, the 2012 guide will be fully updated: any closed down businesses removed to avoid wasted journeys and all the previous updates (that wanted to continue) included, plus loads more. We've also added information on free WiFi and black water disposal.

I have not used any of the Britstops since joining but they did seem a useful tool to have if needed. We joined at Newbury show last year and my recollection of the joining verbal information was that we would get regular monthly updates. This happened until October last year, sometimes with a bit of prompting from posts on this site.
I can only presume that with the new book in the planning Steve got worried about members not renewing if he continued to update on a monthly basis.
We joined the scheme for a year expecting to renew at the Newbury show again this year. It has now become apparent after four months with no updates, that apart from Cabby, no one else seems to have received any. I personally feel cheated. The updates were the best part of the scheme and kept it alive. I would welcome a return to these particularly as it formed a cornerstone of the scheme and was instrumental in our joining it.
It would not stop people from rejoining as the new book will be welcome by most members from last year.

I'm very sorry to hear you feel that way, as that's the last thing we'd want, and we believe we've been as clear and as open as we could have been about Brit Stops from the start.
It's true we did say there would be updates over the course of the year, but we didn't say they would be monthly, for the simple reason that we couldn't. We just didn't know if we'd actually have new hosts every month.
Of course we were delighted when it turned out that we could recruit new hosts fairly consistently, and I guess the problem comes from the fact that we then did send a batch out each month, thereby creating an expectation. Please accept my apologies if this caused a misunderstanding.
I do frequent the forums quite regularly, but may I suggest the quickest way to contact us with any queries is always through email, which we always answer as soon as possible (normally the same day, unless we are at a show for a few days).

Britstops quote
"It's true we did say there would be updates over the course of the year, but we didn't say they would be monthly",
So stick to you word on the updates and send them out "through
the year"
My understanding of joining was it was a years membership from joining date, otherwise joining half way or later through the year would not be worth while joining. If you want to continue selling membersips all through the year you should make it clear that no updates will follow from October.
Even if you were meaning until the end of the year i.e. December, I feel it is still shortchanging your customers.

I joined Britstops and will be renewing even though I haven't actually stayed at any yet. Though with a 100 nights away last year its a wonder that we didn't.
