The Truth About Motorhome Living: Reflections from 1 Year on the Road
Living and travelling in a motorhome for a year has been an incredible experience. The freedom to explore and constantly change your surroundings is truly liberating. During this year-long adventure, we have been fortunate enough to visit some amazing places and do some truly wonderful things.
Amazing unforgettable experience exploring the coastal regions of Europe. From the amazing views of Scotlands NC500to the sun-soaked beaches of the Mediterranean, we have witnessed some of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in the world. We enjoyed leisurely walks along secluded beaches, indulged in fresh seafood, and soaked up the vibrant cultures of the coastal towns and cities.
During our travels, we also had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in different cultures and traditions. From attending vibrant festivals in Spain to participating in traditional local foods. Meeting locals and learning about their customs and way of life has been a truly enriching experience.
But it wasn't just the big adventures that made this year special. It was also the small moments, like waking up to a stunning sunrise over a serene lake or enjoying a cup of coffee while watching the world go by. It was the feeling of complete freedom and the ability to create my own itinerary, allowing me to fully embrace the spontaneity of life on the road.
Overall, our year living and travelling in a motorhome has been nothing short of amazing. The places we have seen, the things we have done, and the people we have met have left an indelible mark on our souls. It has been a journey of self-discovery, exploration, and pure joy. We are grateful for every moment and can't wait to see what the next adventure holds

I currently have two ratchets straps either side just around the box and base of the bike rack which doesn't really counter the bounce on the bottom corner of the Fiamma frame but it does keep the box stable on the bike wheel troughs.
