Don't talk to me about Oban Tesco car park !!!!!It’s the hire vans that cause all the problems. Empty toilets n car parks space hogging and driving like blind people. Oban was full last weekend. Less hire vans this week.
Dover?
but his doors are open.

Go on I'll bite, have stayed on there twice but must be over 10 years ago as we were in the first vanDon't talk to me about Oban Tesco car park !!!!!
Lovely spot with great views there, in Girvan. We were there last week. Don't miss the Italian Ice Cream shop near the main traffic lights!!Us Scots don’t hate Motorhome’s we just don’t like some of the behaviour from their owners, we decided to stay at home in Scotland this holiday due to health issues with our dog. I’ve started a post on it and also mentioned the amount of MHs and campervans, have to say the vast majority we’ve seen haven’t done anything to cause offence. We have seen a few empty their grey waste in car parks and other places, we know it’s not really going to do any harm but the general public don’t.
We’re currently on the council Aire at Girvan which charges £10pn with free black and grey waste but it’s says all over the car park for Motorhome’s only and you get a small vw with trailer tent setting up which is going to annoy some locals

You never told us before that coffee was cheap up there.over £3.50 for a coffee is beyond me
3.50 is feckn ridiculous lol.You never told us before that coffee was cheap up there.
You need to go to your local Morrisons! Are they still doing free refills from the Costa machine?One thing that really does piss me off are the coffee shop/cafes. Prices change in the tourist months and how they have the neck to charge over £3 for a cup of tea and over £3.50 for a coffee is beyond me.
But what is a camper or a van? Surely PVC types vans can park their?This is what the locals don’t like, they were about to set up but someone has spoken to them so not sure if just stopping for a break. Sign all round state it’s for Motorhome’s only not vans or campers. View attachment 896436

Very very tight, avoid with a mo ho. There is a public carpark with loads of room very nearby. Cost me a load to pay for a new mirror for a trademan's van when I ripped it off with the tail of my mo ho. My fault, should have driven out as soon as I saw the layout but didn't take my own advice.Go on I'll bite, have stayed on there twice but must be over 10 years ago as we were in the first van
Think campers refers to tents, etc and that's what the outfit in Gerry's photo looks like, a people carrier and pop-top caravan / tent.But what is a camper or a van? Surely PVC types vans can park their?
Just looked up the history of NC500, very interesting, our now king had a hand in starting it off and now owned by a Dutch guy and the NC500 Ltd made a loss last year so expect more advertising/promoting and more motorhomes that will bring.
How does the NC500 company make it's money ?

I've been out today for a blast on the bike. over to Ullapool and it's very busy, few mohos but no more than usual.

If it's registered as a Motor Caravan it will be M1 SP.It actually says on the signs your vehicle must be category “M” not sure if a pvc would be in that class but I think it should be.
I’ll take a photo of sign
Thing is, there are many motor vehicles on the road that have EXACTLY the same
equipment within them that say, our A Class Pilote has but, (BIG!!! BUT), DVLA,
those paragons of decision making, have decided that even mass manufactured
vehicles are not 'Motor Caravans, ie those described as 'Cat M' (as per the above
sign,) but rather 'Vans with Windows'.
I can see many a jobsworth with the power complex of a RiechsMinister getting off
on issuing tickets galore.

Stayed just by oban tesco carpark last Tuesday, nice and quite.Don't talk to me about Oban Tesco car park !!!!!
Think you’ll find it wasn’t a millionaire but YOUR SCOTTISH GOVERNMENTI think you'll find Scotland DIDN'T want the nc500 , the road and area was perfectly good before the millionaire named it that to make more money. Worst thing that ever happened. And trust me most of the locals don't care if tourists visit or not . Only the businesses that make money from them do.
And they're not alone , it seems the rest of the world also have problems in tourist areas .
No it was a daft English Prince who started it off. And then they sold it to a private individual, am individual they've also allowed to buy up the most land in Scotland which should never ever have been allowed either.Think you’ll find it wasn’t a millionaire but YOUR SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT
that penned the NC500 , they then shut all the toilets , and they wonder why people pee & poo all over the place & I ain’t talking about MoHo’s
