I have just looked at MHF campsite database, you cannot search for a parking spot? Perhaps a good start is to have this facility. I feel sure they are in there but can you not search for them?

As has been stated previously the CC and CCC clubs would not support the siting of Aires, obviously because they would be a form of competition. Although their membership numbers actually exceed the supply of available site places.

The cost of staying at one of these sites is no longer 'value' and even some CS/CL's with hard standing and electric are now £12 upwards per night.

I agree that better parking facilities in towns/cities would help but I do support the case for providing Aire type stopovers. Even some of the places that have now banned motorhome parking on their sea front would benefit from providing a facility in a less obvious part of the town.

Surely there must now be enough of us motorhomers to lobby for facilities. There are, for instance, nearly 44,000 members of Motorhome Facts... count in all the other forums. Are we not enough in number to make our voices heard? Why don't we join forces and campaign for change?

The touble is not ALL motorhome owners support the use of aires and the like. A lot are ardent campsite users and wouldn't entertain even stopping over night in a car park or layby. You only have to read any of the threads on wildcamping to pick that up. Read this months' MMM magazine to see the reaction by some to wildcamping on The Western Isles, where it is tolerated, to see what they think of "freeloading" in 40-50 thousand pound motorhomes!

Yes, i agree
A lot of the motorhome 'establishment' so to speak want everyone to stay on £20 plus sites a night, buy a brand new van every 3 years, never wild camp.

Thats why a lot do their motorhoming abroad.
