Chasing the Winter Sun

The Best European Regions for Off-Season Motorhome Touring

Let’s be honest: enduring a gloomy, grey UK winter while your motorhome sits parked up on the drive can feel downright depressing. But for a growing number of road-trippers, the colder months don’t mean hanging up the keys, they mean heading south.

Chasing the winter sun across continental Europe offers empty beaches, lower fuel and campsite costs, mild daytime temperatures, and a welcoming community of fellow off-season travelers. If you are looking to swap your winter woollies for a t-shirt by the Mediterranean or Atlantic, here are the best regions to target, along with the essential practical tips you need to prep your rig for a sun-seeking escape.

1. Spain’s Southern Coast: Andalusia & Almería 

Spain is the undisputed heavyweight champion for winter motorhoming in Europe, and the sun-soaked coast of Andalusia, stretching from Málaga down through Granada and across to Almería, is the crown jewel.

• The Vibe & Climate: With winter daytime temperatures regularly hovering between 16°C and 20°C, you can comfortably sit outside in January. Almería is famously one of the driest and sunniest spots in all of Europe, featuring striking desert landscapes juxtaposed against crystal-clear seas.

• Why It Works for Motorhomes: The region is exceptionally well-equipped for winter travellers. Towns like Almerimar, Vera, and the dramatic Cabo de Gata Natural Park offer a fantastic network of private aires, dedicated camper-stops, and coastal parking areas where long-term wintering is common and well-tolerated.

• Top Highlight: Exploring the surreal desert landscape of Tabernas (where classic spaghetti westerns were filmed) before heading down to park right by the Mediterranean shore for a sunset fish supper.

2. Portugal’s Golden Algarve & Wild Alentejo

While everyone knows the Algarve for its summer package holidays, winter reveals a completely different, deeply peaceful side of Portugal’s southern coast.

• The Vibe & Climate: Golden sandstone cliffs, dramatic Atlantic swells, and crisp, sunny days make the Algarve and the quieter northern Alentejo coast a paradise for nature lovers, surfers, and walkers.

• Why It Works for Motorhomes: Portugal has a thriving winter motorhome community. While wild camping rules have tightened up to protect fragile coastal nature reserves (like the Sudoeste Alentejano), there is a rapidly expanding network of official, low-cost municipal áreas de serviço para autocaravanas (ASA) that provide safe, legal overnight parking with all the essential services.

• Top Highlight: Taking the coastal boardwalks around Lagos and Sagres, watching surfers tackle massive Atlantic waves, and enjoying inexpensive, world-class local seafood in sleepy fishing villages.

3. The Historic Charm of Sicily, Italy

If you want to venture further south for your winter sun, take the ferry across to Sicily. It is an extraordinary winter destination that rewards the adventurous traveler.

• The Vibe & Climate: Sicily sits at the same latitude as North Africa, meaning winters are exceptionally mild, especially along the southern coast facing Malta. You’ll swap winter frosts for blooming citrus groves, ancient Greek ruins, and dramatic views of smoking Mount Etna.

• Why It Works for Motorhomes: Because summer tourism dominates, winter brings a peaceful lull. Many campsites and agricultural stops (via networks similar to France Passion) stay open year-round to welcome long-stay travelers, often offering deeply discounted monthly rates.

• Top Highlight: Exploring the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento without the scorching summer heat or the massive tourist crowds, followed by a warm winter afternoon sipping espresso in a sunlit Sicilian piazza.

💡 Essential Practical Tips for Winter Sun Chasers

Heading south for the winter requires a bit more preparation than a two-week summer holiday. Keep these technical essentials in mind:

1. Master Your Gas Situation Abroad

Standard UK propane/butane bottles cannot be easily refilled at continental petrol stations due to differing connector nozzles.

• The Solution: If you are travelling for months at a time, consider installing a refillable gas system (like Gaslow or Safefill) with European filler adapters (ACME, Dish, and Bayonet). Alternatively, carry a set of clip-on country-specific adapters so you can exchange or fill local gas bottles if you run low. Remember that propane vaporizes better in colder weather than butane, making it the safer choice for chilly winter nights in the mountains.

2. Finding Open Sites and Managing Off-Season Hours

While commercial campsites on the Mediterranean coast often stay open year-round to cater to long-term winter guests (often offering special monthly rates), many rural campsites further inland close down between November and March.

• The Fix: Rely heavily on apps like Park4Night and Campercontact to filter specifically for open winter stops, municipal aires, and farm stays. Always call ahead or check app updates before driving deep into rural areas.

3. Combatting Condensation and Staying Warm

Even in Spain or Portugal, winter nights get genuinely cold once the sun drops behind the horizon.

• Thermal Management: Invest in external thermal windscreen covers to stop frost and severe condensation buildup on your cab windows. Keep your blown-air heating system serviced, and ensure you have a reliable lithium battery or solar setup to run your 12V heating fan through long winter nights when solar input is lower.

France Passion & Motorhome Farm Stays

How to Camp for Free with Local Artisans

If you’ve spent any time touring France, you know the rhythm: arrive at a campsite, pay your fee, and tuck yourself into a numbered pitch between other motorhomes. It’s convenient, sure, but is it the authentic French adventure you were dreaming of?

If you want to trade crowded campsites for sunset views over a vineyard, a quiet spot in an orchard, or a parking space beside a traditional goat farm, it’s time to discover France Passion. It is one of the motorhoming community’s best-kept secrets, and it offers a way to explore the heart of rural France while staying absolutely free of charge.

What is France Passion?

France Passion isn’t a commercial campground; it’s a network of friendly hosts, vineyard owners, farmers, and artisans, who invite self-contained motorhomers to stay on their land for up to 24 hours.

The concept is simple and built on mutual respect:

1. You get a free, safe, and beautiful place to park.

2. The host gets to share their passion and local produce with travelers.

There are over 2,000 "invitation" locations across France. Instead of paying for a pitch, you are essentially a guest of the farm. In return, you get an unparalleled look at the local way of life, far from the noise of motorway service stations or the constraints of packed tourist parks.

How It Works: The "Membership" System

France Passion

France Passion operates on an annual membership basis. When you join, you receive:

• The France Passion Guide: A massive, printed directory (updated annually) that lists every participating host, including maps, GPS coordinates, vehicle access notes, and photos of the parking areas.

• The Annual Membership Sticker: A sticker to display on your windscreen, which acts as your "passport" when arriving at a host’s property.

Because the system relies on physical guides and a clear identification sticker, it helps hosts instantly recognize legitimate members, keeping the network secure and exclusive to those who understand the "rules of the house."

The "Golden Rules" of the Farm Stay

France Passion is not a free-for-all; it is a community built on etiquette. To keep these wonderful spots open and welcoming, every motorhomer must follow a few simple principles:

1. You Must Be Self-Contained

This is non-negotiable. Because you are parking on a farm or in a vineyard, there are no service pillars, electric hook-ups, or public toilets. You must have your own onboard water supply, toilet, and waste storage. If you don't have these, you cannot participate.

2. The "Host-First" Etiquette

While the overnight stay is free, remember that you are parking on private property.

• Support the Business: The implied (and highly encouraged) expectation is that you will purchase some local produce from your host. Whether it’s a bottle of wine from a vineyard, a wheel of local cheese, or a basket of fresh seasonal fruit, buying a little something is the best way to say "thank you" and support the rural economy.

• Arrival Times: Most hosts prefer you to arrive during their business hours (usually afternoon) so they can greet you and show you where to park safely. Don't pull up at midnight and expect a spot!

3. Leave No Trace

Treat the land with more respect than you would a public campsite. Keep your site tidy, dispose of all your own waste properly when you leave, and keep noise to a minimum. You are a guest in someone’s home and workplace, act like one.

4. Limited Stays

France Passion is designed for transit, not for setting up camp for a week. The standard stay is 24 hours. If you want to explore a region for longer, move on to the next host or a nearby municipal campsite after your day is up.

Why It’s the Ultimate Way to Tour

Beyond the cost savings, France Passion transforms the quality of your trip.

• Authenticity: You aren't just passing through France; you're meeting the people who make its world-famous wine, cheese, and honey.

• Space & Quiet: Most stops accommodate only a handful of vehicles at a time, meaning you’ll rarely be packed in like sardines.

• Peace of Mind: Parking in a secured farm courtyard or a vineyard is often much safer and quieter than a roadside layby.

Ready to try it? If you are planning a trip to France this year, ordering your France Passion guide is one of the best investments you can make. It opens up thousands of "rooms with a view" that you simply won't find on any other booking app.

ETIAS, EES, and Channel Crossings

 

ETIAS, EES, and Channel Crossings: What Motorhomers Need to Know (An Update from Heathrow!)

Disclaimer: Border procedures and rollout schedules can shift. Always check official operator guidance (Eurotunnel/Getlink or your ferry provider) and the EU EES portal before setting off.

I’m currently flying out of the UK at Heathrow Airport for a couple of days, But before I head through security and board my flight, I wanted to take a quick moment to share a massive Europe travel update with you all.

If you’re planning a trip to Europe over the coming months, especially if you're getting ready to hitch up the motorhome and head across the Channel, there’s been another major shift regarding ETIAS, the "not a visa but kinda like a visa" travel authorisation British passport holders will eventually need.

The best news right now? For the next few months, it’s one less piece of paperwork to worry about.

The Latest on ETIAS: Still Waiting in the Wings

Until recently, official EU guidance suggested that ETIAS would launch in the final quarter of 2026. As of mid-August 2026, that firm launch date has disappeared.

• No confirmed launch date: There is currently no fixed date for ETIAS to go live. The EU has stated they will announce the official start several months in advance.

• Do NOT apply yet: If you are heading to Europe soon, you cannot apply for an ETIAS, and you don’t need one. Please keep an eye out and steer clear of any third-party scam sites trying to charge you for an application right now!

Deep Dive: What’s Happening at Le Tunnel and the Ferries Right Now?

I know there is a ton of anxiety out there about how the new EES (Entry/Exit System) is going to affect our Channel crossings. Because we travel in larger vehicles—whether you're driving a self-built camper, a coachbuilt motorhome, or towing a caravan—port logistics are always front of mind.

Here is the ground reality for Le Tunnel (Eurotunnel / Le Shuttle) and ferry ports like Dover right now:

1. Full Biometric Car and Motorhome Checks Are Delayed (For Now!)

While the EU’s EES framework officially went live as a broader system in April 2026, full biometric kiosk checks for cars, motorhomes, and passenger vehicles at Dover and Eurotunnel have been delayed until after the summer 2026 peak.

Why? Both UK and French authorities, along with port operators like Getlink (Eurotunnel), pushed back the full rollout due to ongoing software stability concerns on the EU back-end and a desire to avoid gridlock during peak holiday traffic.

2. What You’ll Experience at Check-In Today

• For Passenger Vehicles: Right now, if you are driving a car or motorhome through Dover or Eurotunnel, you are generally going through a streamlined passport check process rather than hopping out to use a biometric kiosk for four fingerprints and a facial scan. French border police are creating digital entry files on the backend without forcing every traveler through the intensive kiosk queues right this second.

• For Commercial Traffic: Keep in mind that coaches and freight lorries have been rolling through full EES checks since late last year, but passenger cars and motorhomes have been given a temporary buffer through the summer rush.

• The Traffic Management Reality: Even with the full biometric kiosk phase delayed for passenger vehicles, traffic management systems like Operation Brock on the M20 have been running continuously to handle overall holiday surges. If you're driving down to Kent, always check the traffic updates before you roll.

3. What to Expect When Full Biometric Checks Eventually Launch

Don't get too comfortable, this delay isn’t a cancellation. Once the software is fully stable and the summer peak wraps up, full biometric processing will roll out for passenger vehicles at Le Tunnel and ferry terminals.

When that happens, here is what motorhomers should prepare for:

• First-Time Registration: Your very first crossing under the active system will require you to register your biometrics, providing a facial image and four fingerprint scans. For motorhomes and cars, operators have built dedicated pre-registration zones (like the massive new covered areas at Folkestone and Coquelles) to keep things moving.

• Processing Times: Expect your first crossing to take a few extra minutes per person while your digital file is created.

• Subsequent Crossings: Once your data is in the system, future trips through Le Tunnel or the ferries will be much faster because the system will only need a quick facial scan to match your passport.

ETIAS vs. EES: Quick Refresher

It’s easy to mix these two up, so let's keep them straight:

• EES (Entry/Exit System): The digital border tracking system replacing manual passport stamps. It tracks entries and exits across the 29-country Schengen area. It is active now, but full biometric captures for passenger vehicles at Channel ports are currently paused/delayed until later this year.

• ETIAS: The upcoming travel authorisation (akin to the US ESTA) that you will need to apply and pay for before you leave home. This is delayed indefinitely and is not required right now.

And a quick reminder for all of us living that long-haul road trip life: ETIAS and EES do not change the 90-day rule. You are still strictly limited to 90 days out of any rolling 180-day period in the Schengen area.

Summary Checklist for Your Next European Trip

If you're heading across the water via ferry or Le Tunnel over the next few months:

👉 Expect standard passport checks for now, with full biometric kiosk rollouts for passenger vehicles expected later in the year.

👉 Keep an eye on Kent traffic (watch out for Operation Brock if you're heading down the M20).

👉 Do not apply or pay for an ETIAS, it isn’t live yet!

👉 Allow a sensible amount of time for your port arrival without turning up hours too early and clogging the lanes.

I’ll keep monitoring the official updates while I’m away and will drop any major changes right here and across our community groups as soon as they drop.

For now, if Europe is on your travel calendar for an autumn motorhome tour, ETIAS is one less thing to stress over, happy travels!

Reminder: Border procedures and rollout schedules can shift. Always check official operator guidance (Eurotunnel/Getlink or your ferry provider) and the EU EES portal before setting off.

Mastering Motorhome Touring Photography 

Easy Tips for Epic Road Trip Photos 

Hands up if your travel photos basically consist of: your motorhome, your dinner, and the same mountain from 14 slightly different angles?

(No shame here, I do the same, plus many many photos of my dog!)

I’ve always loved capturing our adventures, but it wasn’t until I started travelling solo that I realised how much you can improve your photos, whether you’re using a drone, a phone, or a “proper” camera. You don’t need a degree in photography to elevate your travel gallery.

So, here are my top tips for better road trip photos, blending some of my hard-earned lessons from the road with a few professional tricks of the trade.

1. Don’t Get Hung Up on the Tools

You really don’t need the newest, most expensive camera to take gorgeous photos. Honestly, 90% of my travel photos are taken on my iPhone. The rest are with my drone or, very occasionally, my "proper" camera.

If you’re sticking to your phone, here are the absolute basics that change everything:

• Turn on Gridlines: Go into your settings and toggle these on. They help you keep horizons straight and introduce you to the "Rule of Thirds", a composition trick where placing your subject off-centre makes a shot feel much more balanced and dynamic.

• Clean Your Lens: It sounds silly, but it makes a shocking difference! Those greasy fingerprints are the enemy of clear photos.

• Use the Side Buttons: Instead of tapping the screen (which can be shaky), use the volume buttons on the side of your phone to snap the picture. It makes holding the phone steady much easier.

• Chase the Light: Try to shoot in the first or last hour of daylight, the "Golden Hour." The light is softer, warmer, and makes everything look cinematic.

2. A Note on Drones (Fly Safe!)

A drone is a fantastic addition to your road trip gear, but it is not essential. I went a year or so before I worked up the courage to start using mine! They’re wonderful for capturing scale, especially those "tiny-van-in-huge-mountains" shots.

If you go down that route, get a drone with a decent camera, good stabilisation, and solid sensors. I tried several "cheap" ones, and they are so much harder to fly than the proper ones from companies like DJI.

Practical Tips for Drone Flying:

• If you're new to drones: Start with something like this, its easy to fly, hand launched, light weightand has some great features like "follow me"

DJI Neo

• Practise somewhere quiet first. Don’t fly too far until your confidence grows.

• Know the Rules: In the UK, remember the basics: keep your drone in your direct line of sight, don’t fly above 120m (400ft), and never fly over crowds.

• Respect Privacy: Always stay well clear of windows, gardens, and private property.

• The "Hills" Rule: Avoid having hills between you and the drone, that's how I lost the one I had in the Outer Hebrides; it lost signal!

• Don't get greedy: Land before the battery gets low.

• Progress: Once you are more confident, a great upgrade is the DJI Mini.

3. Photograph YOU in the Place

It’s so easy to come home with thousands of scenery shots and zero evidence you were actually there. It's even harder when you're travelling solo.

• The Solo Setup: The easiest way by far is with a drone, set it up to follow you or snap a timer photo.

• The Tripod: I love a small, lightweight travel tripod. It fits easily into a bag but gives you a decent stand height. Look for "leading lines" (like a road or path) to frame yourself for a professional look.

68" Tripod/selfie magnetic stick 

• The Video Hack: You can set a video recording, walk into the frame, hold a pose for 2–3 seconds, and take a high-quality still image off the video file later.

• Live Mode: I always use 'Live' mode on my iPhone so I can scrub through the frames to make sure my eyes aren't closed!

4. Add Video and Details

Still photos are fine, but movement brings a place to life. Try setting up your camera on a tripod and walking into the frame, or sweeping your phone slowly from one side to the other to show the scale of a view.

DJI Osmo Action 4

Don't forget to capture the details of the journey, not just the big landmarks. A photo of your coffee cup with a view of a Scottish loch, the frost on the grass outside the van, or even a shot through your open door frames the experience in a way a postcard never could.

5. Managing Your Digital Clutter

If you’re anything like me, your phone or camera is full by day three of a trip. A good external SSD is a lifesaver for backing up photos on the go. This portable SSD I use is tiny, smaller than my palm, but holds an incredible amount of footage. It’s peace of mind for when you’re miles from home.

ScanDisk SSD 1TB

The Best Bit of Advice

The best advice I was ever given is simple: just take the photo.

Don't overthink your composition or your settings. Capture what you love about a place, or a moment that makes you smile. And, just as importantly, remember to put down the camera occasionally. Some of the best memories are the ones you take with your eyes, not your lens.

Mastering Rallies: Community, Atmosphere, and Making Friends

 

Mastering Rallies: Community, Atmosphere, and Making Friends

Motorhome rallies offer a distinct and vibrant way to experience the touring lifestyle year round. Unlike booking a commercial campsite, joining a rally, whether organized by major national clubs, regional centers, or independent groups, immerses you in a shared community experience.

The single biggest draw to motorhome rallies is the social atmosphere. While standard campsites can sometimes feel insular or anonymous, rallies are built entirely around camaraderie.

• Instant Connection: You are surrounded by people who share your exact passion. Conversations spark easily over the back of a motorhome or while walking a dog.

• Shared Activities: Many rallies feature communal campfires, organized walks, evening socials in a shared marquee, quizzes, or live music.

• Built-In Support: If you are new to motorhoming, struggling with a technical issue, or looking for local travel recommendations, the community at a rally is exceptionally generous with advice and a helping hand.

• Lifelong Networks: For solo travelers, couples, and families alike, rallies are one of the fastest ways to build a tight-knit circle of touring friends with whom you can plan future trips.

• If you are interested in Rallies, join our Discord Chat server Motorhome Touring where there is a dedicated channel for Rallies with access to an App that lists most Rallies across the UK.

• Recommend:  The Van Club a differnt kind of club without its own site! a great place to start. You will find them at most of the popular Warners Shows. Listen to Caravan Radio for the latest upcoming shows.

Varied and Unique Locations

Rallies take advantage of spaces that standard commercial campsites cannot access. Because they rely on temporary permission certificates or landowner agreements, locations can be wonderfully diverse:

• Scenic Estates and Castles: Pitching up on the grounds of historic country houses, stately homes, or castles.

• Rural Gems: Farmer's fields nestled in valleys, next to meandering rivers, or perched on rugged coastlines.

• Event-Adjacent Fields: Rallies held near agricultural shows, steam rallies, aviation museums, or village fetes, putting you right at the heart of local culture.

All-Year-Round Touring

Motorhome rallying is not restricted to the summer months. Dedicated groups run meets 365 days a year:

• Winter and New Year Meets: Groups often gather over the colder months, celebrating Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas, and New Year together in cozy community tents.

• Off-Season Freedom: While many commercial sites close from November through February, rally marshals find hardy farmers and landowners willing to host winter meets, keeping the touring spirit alive year-round.

Cost Comparison: Rallies vs. Standard Commercial Campsites

When it comes to your touring budget, rallies offer a massive financial advantage:

• Commercial Campsites: Standard sites equipped with manicured pitches, electric hook-ups (EHU), heated shower blocks, swimming pools, and Wi-Fi often range from £30 to £60+ per night, especially during peak seasons.

• Motorhome Rallies: Rallies typically operate on a basic field and cost anywhere from £10 to £20 per night. The fee covers the cost of renting the land and basic administration for the rally marshals.

While you trade away luxury facilities, the cost savings make frequent, extended touring far more accessible.

Comprehensive Pros and Cons of Motorhome Rallies

The Pros

• Exceptional Value: Significantly lower nightly fees compared to commercial sites.

• Vibrant Social Life: A welcoming, inclusive environment with endless opportunities to make friends.

• Unique Pitches: Access to stunning, off-the-beaten-path locations unavailable on booking apps.

• Year-Round Activity: Opportunities to tour and socialize even in the depths of winter.

• Low Pressure: A relaxed atmosphere where you can participate as much or as little in group activities as you like.

The Cons

• Basic Facilities: Most rallies are "rally field" setups. You generally need to be self-sufficient, relying on your own onboard toilet, shower, and fresh/waste water management (though fresh water taps and Elsan waste disposal points are usually provided on-site).

• Limited Electric Hook-Up (EHU): True hook-ups are rare at standard rallies. You will need to rely on your leisure battery, solar panels, gas, or a portable generator.

• Weather and Ground Conditions: Because rallies are often held in agricultural fields or open meadows, heavy rain can result in muddy ground, requiring care (or traction aids) when entering and exiting.

• Structure and Rules: While generally relaxed, rallies are run by marshals who maintain site rules regarding noise levels, dog control, and waste management to ensure everyone has a pleasant stay.
