Rosslare to Cherbourg. 18 hrs crossing. How do I keep my grup cold in the fridge this July.
Is it common practise to keep the gas on when mid seas to France. Dont want my stuff going off if its too warm down in the car deck.
Hints and tips please

Motorhome parking Garrykennedy

Over the bank holiday weekend I did not manage to get to Garrykennedy on Lough Derg, one of my favourite places. However, it is probably just as well as I hear it was hectic there. A friend who was there did mention the numbers of motorhomes which were there and its great to see it used. Pity someone from the local authority wasn't there to observe the potential for motorhomers if a proper parking area, serviced with EHU and water was provided. Power points are already down by the new jetty and showers and toilets are also there.
Now for the gripe!! I always park either nose in or tail in to the lake near the slipway. This takes up only one parking space. Apparently there were 4 vans parked side on to the lake from the slipway taking up most if not all of the parking spaces near the lake. Others had apparently parked in across the disabled bays. This is a cause of frustration for locals who regularly use this beautiful location. I would ask that motorhomers consider taking up as little space as possible and certainly do NOT block disabled spaces.
Earlier this year I observed one motorhomer empty his grey waste while in a marked parking bay just as he departed so I did not get a chance to take issue with him about such a practice.

Data sim

Hi,
I use a Giffgaff data sim for £5 you get 500 mb to be used in a month or £7.50 for 1GB as this is only for use in NI & GB I was wondering if anyone from ROI could advise if any similar products are available South of the Border. I use the sim in a tablet and if could be used in ROI it would be very handy for finding wild camping spots on google maps.

Looking for info

I am considering (kicking tyres really) a change of motorhome and am looking at a Hymer A class or B class as they call them, and I was wondering if the collective know do you lose much in the way of mpg going from the low profile to A class. Also does anyone have experience of Hymer and are they all they are cracked up to be or is it just hype.
