  • I've been really busy the last few days running around here and there, catching up with Pete & Jimmy over the weekend.
    I then had to run as I had some TOP SECRET filming to do for TV but that's all I can say for now haha!
    Once I finished filming it was time to find a parkup, so I jumped on Park4Night and found a pretty urban parkup, sure its no street but it was still tight and I was unsure I'd get parked as the new motorhome is just shy of 8.5 meters!
    I'd love to know some of your favourite Park4Night parkups, drop them in the comments below and I'll add them to my must visit list!
    00:00 Last night's parkup
    02:37 It's not gonna fit
    05:25 Top Secret filming
    07:15 The M1
    08:37 Tonight's parkup
    10:41 How I find overnight parkups
    14:19 Food from the freezer
    16:37 Evening at the parkup
    20:02 The next morning
    If you've not tried Park4Night I definitely recommend you check it out

    At least you gave that a good go, I would have bottled out. Being a trucker you are probably good at judging the size of vehicles. I have a tiny VW width wise it fits most places but it's high top so height Barriers are my problem. Good tip on zooming in on Google maps, our niece does that when we go Geocaching, so we can park near to our finds.

    With our mobility scooter rack on the tow bar the overhang was huge on our 8mtr van and in car parks like that one if a car is parked at both sides it became almost impossible to leave due to turning point.
    In supermarket car parks we have had to wait until the other cars have moved away, not good .

    • @Mevi
      @Mevi Год назад +1

      Supermarket carparks are pretty unfriendly to larger vehicles. There's a Sainsbury's I visited that had bollards preventing my 6M from making some turns and even larger *cars* overhang the spaces.
      Morrisons seem pretty good, however.

    With a smaller motorhome you can park anywhere but not what all the comforts a large motorhome gives you. A bigger motorhome gives you more comfort whilst you are parked up. It is a compromise on size and avaiablilty. I have a 8.4 m motorhome and love the comforts whilst I am parked up.

      I agree, I’m getting and converting a home delivery truck, it fits in a standard car parking space, legally. It’s square and the stealth factor is 10x a motor home. No one can see the skylight or the solar from the street, so there is zero indication of the tiny home inside.
