Whoops... a whole motorhome... a whole RV? Holiday Rambler
Discussion
So, imagine the scene:
I'm sitting home, minding my own business, trying to work out how to drag my Race Caterham to races around the UK this year.
While still being able to park in hotels without it being a huge pain in the arse. And then it came to me, motorhome!
And so, here it is.
It's a 1998 Holiday Rambler SOMETHING
And here it is with the fleet in tow at Snetterton yesterday
I realise that this might be jumping in with a bit more than two feet, but I'm here now.
I know next to nothing about Motorhomes in general, but it's basically a big truck, right? How hard can it be?
Has anyone had one of these before? Maybe I could pick their brains a bit?
Cambridge based if that helps

That’s a fantastic piece of kit, but you know, while at the Yorkshire Motorsport Festival last year, we were parked up in the paddock which was a sheep field, camping in the back of the trailer and there were a couple of big American RVs there.
We saw the owners sat around, and I wondered for all their opulence, grandeur and style I thought “are they really having a good time, is it genuinely making them happy”
And the answer is - of course they are, they’re not freezing cold , pissing in a bucket and eating tinned chilli with crisps.
I’m not jealous at all.

The previous owner ran a few race cars around with it. So they've made a few modifications.We saw the owners sat around, and I wondered for all their opulence, grandeur and style I thought “are they really having a good time, is it genuinely making them happy”

Proper fridge, better water heater, better heater heater, new front end with lights that don't suck, air line take off... A few other things! It's almost livable now... And not a teak nightmare...
My kind of PH-er ... goes in big, then comes and asks questions later!!
I have no experience of these OP, I'm at the opposite end of the towing spectrum with a three berth Eriba pop-top caravan, but I doff my cap to you for diving in and buying one. Only bit of info I can add in is that not all sites can cater for you due to pitch size limits, but your probably realise this already. Might be a bit of a pain if you want to visit a specific site.
We don't have this issue.

Well if you're going to do something? Best to get on with it...
Now I get to learn about servicing, and how things like pumps work... and accumulators, and grey water tanks... I'm so clueless!
Just had a chuckle looking at the pictures again, the kitchen in your MoHo is about the same size as ours at home! Now I get to learn about servicing, and how things like pumps work... and accumulators, and grey water tanks... I'm so clueless!
I’d be interested to see how you get on at the uk circuits. Quite a few seem to be clamping down on where and when you can stay actually on site. Few guys moaning that donnington make you stay night before outside circuit and the local site it very expensive, and very small pitches with nowhere for the trailers.
Are other circuits more friendly?
