The Motorhome Blog

Welcome to the motorhome blog from Comfort Insurance!

As motorhomers ourselves, we are constantly learning new tips from and sharing our own experiences with the wider community and with new friends we meet while out on the road.

That's why we started this motorhome blog - as a place for our customers to find useful resources which can help them to get even more out of the motorhome lifestyle.

Here at Comfort, we understand that there will be some reservations with taking your family away on a motorhome trip for the first time, but they are actually fantastic because of the freedom and flexibility they give. Our blog posts will cover everything you need to know about motorhoming with the family and kids.

Ferry Travel with Motorhomes

The UK is a great place to live for a motorhome owner, except for one thing: it’s completely surrounded by sea. This is not so bad if you’re happy enjoying the waves in Brighton, Blackpool or Bournemouth but it can be frustrating if you’re looking to explore the continent. If this is you, your only…

Warmth in the Winter

  Probably the first thing you noticed on your way to work this morning is that things are getting spectacularly cold in the UK, and they’re even colder elsewhere in Europe.

Test Drive Before Buying

  According to research, 1 in 10 motorhome owners have bought their motorhome insurance before even test driving the vehicle. This is because most people are now researching online or in specialist magazines before going to a showroom and speaking to a salesman. According to those who took part in the research, 10 per cent…

Campsite offers free exchange to all visitors

A caravan park director feels their efforts to operate an eco-friendly site are being hampered by families using wet wipes in place of toilet paper. The fast-growing problem at Skelwith Fold Caravan and Motorhome Park in Ambleside, has affected the way they process sewerage naturally through their specially planted reed bed. Wet wipes, unlike toilet…

Locals Worry about Parking Plans

A short while ago you may have noticed a story about car parks in Whitby banning overnight motorhome parking in an attempt to loosen up traffic during busy holiday periods around the town. This caused quite some reaction from the motorhome community and a letter published in the Whitby Gazette last weekend highlights the sort…
