Freedom and My Motorhome

Being a member of several Facebook motorhoming groups
has been illuminating.
It appears the default position is the facility motorhomes
give owners to wild camp; to pull off the road at any convenient place to spend the night.

It also seems to me they travel long distance to get to places
but I am not sure what they do when they get there. 

For me 

My motorhome

    I love my motorhome,

    But I like using campsites with some facilities
    (electric hook up, toilets and showers)

This gives me freedom.

The freedom 

• So my dog can come with me
• To explore interesting and different places to walk
• To mitigate the constrictions of my diet (I can cook on the motorhome)
• To be able to make the best of British weather
• To arrange things to suit me
• To be able to travel with or without company (human)

As with everything there are constraints:

• The need to empty waste water and toilet
• The need to fill with clean fresh water
• Ensure safety of people and belongings
• It is difficult to drive and look around
• Using toilets and showers is unusual
• Washing up is a novel activity 
• Finally the unique drawback;
  using the motorhome for day trips requires packing everything away.
  
  

I like to stay in one place for a few days and
explore the surrounding area on foot
with my trusty four-legged companion.

It seems the default for motorhomers is to wild camp.
This is not for me because being a solo traveller

• Safety is a concern
• Unease due to mechanical breakdown
• Keeping supplied off grid is too demanding for me.
   

I can see that there are
 different freedoms for different people.

My only caveat is the "Country Code" mantra

Leave No Trace
