Really helpful thank you and your suggestion that 2 weeks wouldn't be worth while and yes we certainly be looking into a longer trip.

We are all new here! Hello everyone!
Just found this thread, and it is so long, so instead of reading all 22 pages I just ask;
We are crossing to Morrocco from Spain somewhere 16 - 20 January. We would love company as it is our first time. Anyone in this group? What date? We are flexible!
The intention is heading down the coast.

Since your Moroccan Visa will be issued for 3 months, as previously stated, two weeks won't even give you a taster of the country. If you're thinking of just driving for 8 hours every day you may see a bit from your windscreen, buts that's all you will see. Take advantage of the Visa, and stop over there as long as you're able to

IMO you would be well advised to join Motorhome Fun so as to keep up to date with others who are travelling over to Maroc. You only get to post a few questions as a non member.

Just as a precaution we have extended our green card (free with Safeguard this time) for the whole of our trip in case there is an insurance problem should it be a no deal BEXIT Sorry for saying that word.
edited: our Safeguard green card is for the whole year, so no worries come BEXIT 
Ok folks a heads up on immigration procedure. We arrived at Carlos for tickets about an hour ago. Firstly, parking has changed once again but not a problem. Either one road further back or near the Mercadona supermarket. Must be 70 motorhomes plus hete today. Anyway, Carlos said as from this year we have to complete our own immigration document at the port before crossing. Authorities want to see owner of vehicle completing document and signing form. Straight forward ad I understand it, just need your V5 and passport and one form to complete. Will find out first hand tomorrow morning when we cross. Got my cake and plonk and only charged 190 euros this time around. Mercadona has beer at around 25 pence a can and 5%. I have left you some ,best deal by far and my springs are well down on this trip. Went to Maccies and it being Sarurday, could not get through the door its more than rammed so now in Carrefour syealing free WiFi and about to use their cafe which is not rammed. Weather is Grrrrreat.

Crossed first thong this morning, smooth as will including customs processing. After crossing a copy of your V5 is required and will be returned with vehicle imigration document for exititing. Took the RN1 to Kenitra and that's us for the day. Will overnight hete and possibly drive to El- Jadida tomorrow. Mena is spreading and I have promised not to shout when she fu*s up or my map will disappear out of the window. Also using Maps.Me which is a sort of a work around and between device and Mena navigation, I know I'm guaranteed an adventure. Weather is as you would expect and we will soon be in scorchio territory, or maybe not. That's me untill I find more free WiFi. Safe travels.
I am guessing that you are on the campsite at Kenitra, if so are the 2 Alsation dogs wandering around on the loose. If so beware, they both went for me last year. Made a right mess of my legs. Having said that it hasn’t put us off, we hope to cross around the 20th. Mind will be giving said campsite a miss.

Do you need to take a copy of V5 for them to keep or do they copy the original on entry?
Thanks.
Original which will be returned to you after they have done their stuff with it.
Sorry to hear that. The female I saw 20 minutes ago, just had pups by the look of her and very docile, walking around and not bothering anyone ??? As for the other one, No sign of as yet.

Hiya @Kamelia III
It would really only be polite to join the forum as full members if you wish to take advantage of it's benefits. As said you'll then get unlimited posts and access to lots of information and support from other members. Well worth £15
You've had a number of responses from people travelling at your intended time. However if you want to go later we're intending to cross to Morocco 29th January and you'd be welcome to join us too.
See you in Maroc!
Good comment @TerryL, I seem to recall a group of non members who latched onto a Funster group for the crossing and once enough information was obtained, departed the group without so much as a thank you for the freebee!
Anyway, it's 09.00 here in Kenitra with the sun rising and 0. 1 Deg. C. Looks like it's going to be a bright warm day (later) and for those considering using this place as a stopover, I would say it's fine. 60 MAD with Lecce which appears to be working fine, although I have a reversed polarity indication regardless of which way i insert my two pin plug, so have just ignored and seem to be OK. We Will get on the Toll road today and aim for Qualidia. I plan to get down near Agadir in the next 2 days and then further south after that to get the best weather.

Following on from my comments the other day, the site itself by Moroccan standards was OK. The owner and staff couldn’t do enough to make amends. They provided a car and driver for hospital visits and paid for all the hospital costs. Might be stating the obvious but it was a private hospital. This involved several visits for Rabies injections.
Can’t believe they still allow them to wander off a leach ? btw Phil what’s the price on diesel ?

I have purchased a data sim from Maroc telecom this morning for my iPad after a bit of a dodgy start it works fine but I wanted to use it as a personal hotspot so hubby could use his phone as well. When I tried it says contact your carrier. I went back to the shop but it is now closed. Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks

And you'll find a copy at the end of my Resources article, plus I think there's a link in there to someone else who produced a handier version. It's on my home computer ('cos I used it before we came away) but that ain't a lot of use is it?
It's actually designed for use at the various police/army checkpoints in the very south and in Western Sahara, but has all (and more) of the info asked for by campsites.

Don't think it's the sim card that's the problem, you need to set up the Ipad to be a local hotspot - know less than nothing about them though so you'll need to RTFM.
Thanks TerryL and Suggy have found it and made copies .
