Hi Everyone, My name is Danny and I am a student at university of bradford. I am currently doing my third year project for my degree and I no this isn't what the site is for and prob isn't something you would want to spend your time camping doing and you would rather go finishing etc.. but i was wondering if you could help me out?
For my project I am designing a new type of Motorhome and was Wondering, if anyone would be able to;
- Tell me a list of instructions for how a motorhome would be unpacked and packed up, maybe take photos of the inside when its unpacked and packed?,
- Or if anyone could tell me some experiences and views of when you would like to leave to get some shopping etc.. , having to move everything in and out and if position on the site would change if you left?
Again Thanks For any help you can give me and sorry if I have use the site inapproaitly!
I'll just bump this back up as he doesn't seem to have had a reply but perhaps if Danny changed the title to Can you help with my Uni project? or something similar and then got rid of the 'NE' for 'any' and read it through so that it made more sense 'finishing' for 'fishing' (?) etc he might get more responses. Also use the spell checker because we are old on here (well some of us) and like spelling
Regards Frank

I know this is going to sound rude, but although I would gladly do my best to help, I cannot really understand the help you are asking for. My m\home e.g. looks the same packed as it does unpacked as everything goes away in cupboards. Your best bet is to go to your nearest motorhome dealer and walk in and out of several m\homes for sale and grab some brochures.
Hallo Danny - I agree with the previous posters. However, I think your project very commendable, but I feel there might be a more useful end result if you get some experience in an "old type" motorhome before designing a new one. If you take time to peruse this (and dare I say it other?) motorhome forums I am sure you will find all the moans we have about motorhomes designed by people who never use them And also answers to things like keeping your pitch when touring for the day.
All the best for your project
Sue
P.S. i dnt tink im old but tks to others telling me wat Ne 1 means

I can just imagine if it was my project, F minus or NG I'm afraid
1) buy MH
2) pack MH with all sorts of stuff used only occasionally
3) add regular rations of food and clean clobber
4) eat food and make mess on clobber
5) repeat step 3
seriously though, thats how we live with our MH, admittedly only recently acquired, and prior to that with our caravan.
I'm curious to know how the info gleaned for the project will be put to use.

Just as a relevant anecdote, I used to enjoy recruiting graduates. I gradually became disillusioned however, and it was this that made me give it up:
My background is Physics, so you can appreciate how it pained me. This chap had already achieved a 1st class Honours in Physics from a pukka Uni (can't recall which one).
Can you explain how a plane flies? (A favourite of mine, I've had all sorts of answers over the years, right up to quoting Bernoulli's principle word perfect, understanding it and applying it. Not today however ....)
It's the shape of it, the way the air moves around it.
Yes, can you elaborate a bit?
Well it's the fuselage.
The fuselage indeed does create some lift in many planes. What about the wings?
Ah, said he, looking smug, they hold the fuel.
Well yes they do hold the fuel, but, um, well, why do they sort of stick out the sides?
(Looking even more smug, bordering on condescension) To keep the fuel away from the people, of course!
Yes, silly me, thankyou. Perhaps I'll pass to my colleague at this point ....
Regrettably this country's education conveyor belt league-table system has crushed curiosity out of today's children. They just want to know the answers, but there is no time to understand anything.
A more pertinent anecdote to this thread is that I saw a 2 page small report a while ago from a 1st class Honours mathematics graduate. Yes, the spelling was poor and there was hardly any punctuation, but it read so wierdly it took me a while to twig what was wrong. I counted just 2 verbs in 2 pages of prose; I couldn't believe it. It was written like lecture notes.
