Are you wanting to buy a Motorhome?
Are you wanting to travel Europe in said Motorhome?
With overseas travel finally available again, people are itching to head to all the hot destinations. You’ve got London, you’ve got Paris, you’ve got Rome, and the list goes on. There is an abundance of campgrounds scattered throughout Europe, so you’ll never be far from a freshwater outlet or power source. Motorhoming is a brilliant, cost-effective way to explore, as you can save on accommodation and food expenses. Driving is also such a good way to see things you usually wouldn’t if you were on public transport - the little local family-owned eateries, wineries, businesses etc.

One of my favourite places to stay in Europe, is Switzerland, The Lazy Rancho campsite is such a beautiful spot being so central. One of all time fun little excursions is the Churwalden Pradaschier Coaster. With 31 curves and a height difference of 480 meters the toboggan run twists and turns down into the valley. At a length of just over 3kms it’s the longest run in Switzerland and a real adrenaline rush.
