Hi My name is Ray , am 59, retired and done a fair bit of hiking and camping and stayed in statice caravans. NEVER had the guts to pull a caravan but now having met up with a like minded person want to take the plunge and explore the country enjoying the freedom of a MH. But they are expensive so thinking of hiring 1 this year for a week and seeing how it goes. Then if still keen thinking of buying one next year for a tour all around the British coastline. No intentions of going into Europe but neve say never.
My main concern is the driving.....am a competent but not over confident saloon car driver....will I cope with a wider, longer, taller and heavier vehicle.
Saw a place that would train you up but you had to take your own MH...which defeated the object...if I could drive the MH to the training I wouldnt need the training.
Okay....so honestly required how hard are they to drive, what are the pitfalls and what's the best way to prepare for actually driving one...eg would it help to drive a minibus even if it is only up and down the school drive? Cheers if you are still reading this thanks for your time
