were a family of 5, kids all primary. We’ve done a couple of camper/motor home trips with the kids and loved it. We’re looking at doing a longer road trip (2 weeks) across the UK this summer. For the price of hiring a motor home we could buy camping equipment, but it’s a long time since I camped and I’d welcome views.
motor home pros:
- no huge set up/ break down
- more room if weather poor
- fun to be in
motor home cons:
• cost
• slow and unwieldy to drive
car and tent pros:
• get to keep the tent
• drive own car, we know it and it’s fast and reliable
• more flex (could stay in glamping/ some hotels)
car and tent cons:
• less fun
• hassle of putting up/ down (we’ll be on a road trip so travelling daily)
