A little preparation before the first frost can save a lot of trouble when your next adventure comes around. Whether you are parking up until spring or heading out between cold spells, winterising your motorhome or campervan helps protect it from freezing water, damp and the effects of standing unused. Drain the Water System Emptying the fresh water tank is only part of the job. Water can remain in pipes, taps, the shower, filters and the water heater, where freezing can dama

Planning a festive city break in a campervan or motorhome? Manchester, Birmingham, Bath, York and Edinburgh all have Christmas markets in or near their city centres, but the best place to stay is usually a proper campsite, an authorised pub stopover or a booked motorhome stop—not a city-centre car park. Every stopover featured in this guide is listed on The Campervan Bible map, where you can explore the locations and plan your journey to the Christmas markets. The 2026 market

The change is in Article 92.4 of Spain’s General Traffic Regulations and took effect on 1 October 2026.

We like pubs. The history, the tradition. The alcohol! But they’re disappearing, at an alarming rate. In the first quarter of 2026, one hundred and sixty one ‘locals’ called time, for the last time.
