“Caravan and motorhome people tend to be good practical DIY’ers”, according to Solaratlas.com, so the task of fitting a solar panel should be an easy one. The idea of a solar powered motorhome is to cut out the middle man (the plug in power at camp sites), in order to become more economically friendly.

Mirror, signal, manufacture is the new rule of the road when it comes to producing ‘green’ vehicles. RV and Motorhome manufacturers have been given the green light to go ahead with eco-friendly building equipment such as the replacement of the 60% solvent/40% solid adhesive, which unleashed harmful fumes into the factories, and has now been changed to a new harmless red glue substance.

Having a crystal ball and predicting the future isn’t something many of us can boast, but with obvious signs that holidaying at home is increasing, it can safely be said that the future of “UK holidays in the great outdoors is definitely looking bright”, as reported on Travel Daily News.

Although the British Grand Prix isn’t until Saturday 11th July, discussions regarding the destination have already resulted in long term plans to stay at Silverstone. Tilshead Caravans have confirmed that they are “pleased with the decision, as the British Grand Prix is a major event in our caravan and motorhome hire season”

“With an estimated audience of around 150,000 viewers per programme broadcast, and an online audience of around 10,000 per edition,” it’s no surprise that The Caravan Channel is attracting advertising from the caravan and motorhome industries’ “major players”, reports UKPRwire.

Now that the ‘glamping’ (glamorous camping) craze has got off to a speedy start, the childhood memories of family camping holidays can be forgotten and replaced with thoughts of luxurious boutique getaways, not back-to-basic breaks.

Celebrity approval can be hit and miss, but the camping craze has seen some of the world’s most famous names fronting the trendy way to travel. Kate Moss, supermodel and renowned trendsetter, showed up to Glastonbury a few years ago in a modern motorhome, showing there is a cool way to hassle-free camping.

Motorhome sales have soared in 2010 so far, with factors such as an increase in innovative features tailored for more diverse uses, additional dynamic characteristics designed for younger generations and more energy-efficient models being credited for this rise.

There are so many decisions we have to make in life, so it’s always nice to get a little helping hand to ensure we make the right one. Some Recreational Vehicles are best suited to short camping trips, while others provide luxury and a more comfortable living space for long trips.

To buy or not to buy – that is the question. Well at least it’s the question most perspective new motorhome owners ask themselves. The best way to find the answer is to ask yourself another question – “what will I be using my motorhome for?”
