Book excerpt: One of Practical Motorhome magazine's must-read books "this handbook is full of tips, information and sound travel advice." This is the latest version of the handbook, fully updated and extended in August 2021. Each time you step into your motorhome, you'll feel the years fall away. A tingle of excitement builds as you sit in the cab seats. Day-to-day cares evaporate. As your wheels start to turn, you start to wonder. Just what's out there for you? Where will the road take you? What views will fill your windscreen? What tastes, sights and sounds will you discover? Each day is your own, you can choose where you want to be in the morning, drive and explore in the afternoon before enjoying a well-deserved meal in the evening. After a good night's sleep you can decide over breakfast whether to move on. Maybe you'll choose to stay and chill, depending on your mood, the weather or a local attraction you want to visit? A camper is a perfect way to slow travel and to live well. Motorhomes and camper vans offer a uniquely comfortable, safe and flexible way to travel. Fully equipped with modern features, they're a luxurious mode of transport. You can sleep in your own double bed, grab a cold drink, take hot showers, entertain visitors, stream the latest films, charge your gadgets and cook delicious meals. And that's without even stepping outside! We're Julie and Jason Buckley and over a decade of touring the UK, Europe and North Africa we've shared everything we've learned on the OurTour.co.uk motorhome blog. Travelling and living in our motorhomes has given us the most incredible freedom and adventures, sensations we want you too to enjoy. During holidays in our beloved camper, followed later by years-long full-time motorhome tours, we've stayed in over 1,000 different overnight stops in more than 30 countries. We've travelled tens of thousands of miles before writing this book (and made every mistake under the sun!). Yep, in among all the exploration and fun we learned many lessons, from choosing the wrong vehicle for our needs to breaking water boilers because we forgot to drain them down for winter. We want to give you the knowledge we've learned to help and inspire you on the next step in your motorhome journey. Whether that's hiring or buying your first van to choosing to retire and live full-time in your motorhome, this book has something for everyone. The Motorhome Touring Handbook is crammed with the very best advice, tips and tricks we've learned first-hand and from meeting hundreds of fellow travellers over the years. The book's arranged into three parts, quickly building your knowledge and confidence: Part 1 covers choosing and buying your motorhome and touring the UK. Part 2 moves on to your first road trip abroad. Part 3 takes you on the big one, your year-long tour of Europe. The Motorhome Touring Handbook is updated each year with all the latest information around legal requirements, internet access, toll roads and any new tips we learn ourselves or glean from the magnificent motorhome community.
