RoadRoamers Returns After what seems like years but was infact only 9 months RoadRoamers returns on a new host and with a new domain. We weren't able to keep the old domain but we were able to save most of the content, which we are slowly transferring to the new site. You'll notice that we chose to go with a WIKI rather than a forum this time, the thinking was that this site is and has always been a resource and a wiki is a better format for providing fast access to that resource. We may still …

Car Parks (and Parking in them) Parking a camper in a car park used to be no problem at all, and you'd never give it a second thought, but in the last few years its all got a bit silly.

Recovery Services There are problems getting recovery that's effective because many providers will tell you that you're covered until you actually need it, then they'll point you to their list of exclusions. Pay specific attention to the terms and conditions, especially if you're towing which is almost always excluded.

This discrimination is of course designed to extract additional revenue from motorists on top of the road fund license (which now has nothing to do with the roads). These zones are likely to be increasing as its a reliable source of income for the city councils involved, as well …
