hello! This is my first time here so apologies in advance if I'm on the wrong forum or have asked a question posed many times before - or any other virgin errors ...
.I'd be grateful for some advice: We've purchased an 8 metres 40 motorhome - ie, very long , and wonder how difficult it is to find sites in France that will take them. Before we had a sensible size motorhome and that was fine, but this one does seem long when we think of all the sites we've been on in France.

Hi mco welcome to MFH probably the best site on the internet Laughing

With regards to your length, its a tiddler Laughing mine is 10metres and a couple on here are up to 12, we toured italy and france last year booked our main sites and took pot luck with the rest, only got turned away from one, and that was because they where full.

The trend in motorhomes is for longer lengths and campsites are making more allowances for this, quite a few do Mega or super pitches, you will have no trouble with these but they cost more.

Hi mco

I agree with Olley, mine is 36ft , we toured NE France and Germany last year with little problem but I would advise looking for a site early in the afternoon as aires do get busy later and you can't squeeze a big van in so easily ..
Planning is the key and always have a plan B .. but taking pot luck is fun too Very Happy

Mine is of similar size with a weight of 5000Kg, and it was our first time last Year, did France and Spain.

No real problems although in the villages I got caught out where there are some streets limited to 3500Kg.

In truth the sites were great and if there was any real problems it was much to do with height rather than length, low hanging trees, bridges

Regards
Hugh

Pusser,

If size is not a problem have you indicated that access or site NOT suitable for RVs on the MHF database?

I don't think that option was available when I did it. I will have a dekko and thanks for pointing that out.

....Just had a look and you are absolutely right. But I don't know how I can edit it. Sad

You can't pusser until feb 1st when subs come in.

Even then I would restrict access for modification to one or two people, I believe such an impotant asset needs protecting.

Olley,

Hope you are right,just hope those persons know what they are doing.....perhaps they will get the mapping link working properly and there will be no more camping sites located in the middle of the Indian Ocean Very Happy Very Happy
