Morocco 2019

Too early for Tafraoute. Wrap up warm for bed as the night temperatures in Tafraoute are as cold as the UK until the end of February - marked by the almond blossom appearing.
 
Don't mind cold night's I have my other half to keep me warm, the days are lovely tho

I will try and reply to all from here. What a day it's been but more on that a little later. As for alcohol in Agadir, I didn't get to the main Carrefour but one of the little ones as that is what came up on Maps.me when I done a search. I have no idea where the main one is but the one I went to was about 3 mins drive the Marjane. When I got there I was lucky enought to illegally park nearby and went in knowing i was wasting my time but the guy directed me across the road and it was like walking into a liqior store. Propane Gas!!!! Been driving me nuts all day. Whem we were here (Tiznet), in 2016 we got Propane 12 kg bottle from Camping Riad and it was dirt cheap too. This time around I have spent most of the afternoon being directed by Tiznit nutters telling me where to get Propane, only to find it is no longer available here, even from the campsite
What I have done is purchased a 12 Kg of camping gaz for 44 DH which is going to be recanted into my empty 12 KG marroc bottle in the morning, free of charge. Why they will not just swop the bottles as I have requested is beyond me. Anyway, I am being told all the French motorhomes here are using Butane without any problems as the temperature here is not an issue, so I'm going to give it a try too, Nothing to loose. It will either work or it wont. I suspect it will. Also, went to Maroc Telecom in Tiznit today along with every French Motorhome in Marocco. I didn't even bother wating for it to open knowing there would be the Moroccans and the motorhomers in the queue and if I was there I would have a que stroke or something similar. So it's free WiFi for me and Moroc Telecom can go bust for all I care.

Have you got the right place for Propane? In 2016 we bought what I was assured was propane from Tifnit not tiznit, Camping Bakanou, its a bit of a dump miles from anywhere but en route from Agadir to Tiznit. The problem with their Butane is its so oily, witness the smokey fridges and blocked regs around. Surprisngly cold still.

Yes! We also visited this rundown campsite and was offered propane at a very 3xpensive price and rejected the offer. Many campers were not happy about the attitude of 5he owner when we were there. We are now at the same camp site in Tiznit that we visited in 2016 and thete is no doubt this is where we got our propane from. Assuming it was in fact propane which we were assured it was. It would appear that all the French motorhomes hete who ate on gas ate using Butane without any difficulty and I assume the whole town is probably doing the same and I see no reason why I should not give it a go. I'm aware Butane requires a higher temperature than propane to flow at the same rate and will see how this works in practice. If it does not work we shall be 3ating a sh3d load of bacon, sausages, prime beef, mince, and other meats in 5he next few days. Shit Happens!

If you use Camping Road at Tiznit, I would advise you do not take up the lecce option. I had reverse polarity issues even after fitting my reversed Euro connection I made up. In addition, not enough amps to switch my 3 way fridge over to lecce. Others who have said they are not having any issues are waking up to find no lecce available this morning. About right for many Moroccan campsites in my experience.

I doubt it was Propane tbh Phil, I remember thinking that at the time ?
I have always as most on here have only used the butane back fed into my system although Mohamed made me an attachment that fits into my fill point, only once did I have a problem with oily butane in 2015 in a yellow bottle i got in Mirleft, I have a Afrique red bottle now and find that the best cleanest and most accesssble
Safe travels

Never use the ehu over there unless it’s inclusive in the price. I always use my meter before to check for polarity, @Moulay Bousalim a few yrs back I had 300+ volts live to earth, although in the price I did not use :)

Moulay Boussalim definitely has the wordt electrics I have seen.......so far ????? Shame because the site and pitches are very pretty and remind me of the New Forest.

Also some learning about the 3 way fridge, which switched over to gas at certain times of day and would not work on electric. It went off in the evening when everyone switched on their light etc.so I deduced Sherlock Holmes wise that there was not enough volts/amps for the fridge, although everything else worked including the kettle. So I was glad it was not broken.

It's an issue others may not know about...........and @PhilandMena has pointed out it can happen on other sites as well.
 
Morning campers, you were right ,cold overnight but what a beautiful start to the day ,the rays are already warming us up, strange being woken up by noisy donkeys instead of barking dogs, only in morocco
 
@rivergypsy Tom Tom do a Morocco map we also use maps.me
Get the campsite book camping du maroc if you see it .

We have seen snow over the Lion at the end of February. ... when we normally get to Taf
 
Thanks soggy, I'm struggling to get any of the to work as goggle maps is stuck in preview mode , I've done everything including uninstalling and every thing the help page suggests and none of it makes a difference, I need someone who is techno savvy as I'm utterly useless ,

A shit hole best avoided.
 
Ok guys hete is a great stop for you if your around Tiznit, just 15 minutes down a decent road too. Aglou plague. Go strict past 5he campsite and any odd looks you get from 5heir campers and go down as far as you can go. You will see the signs for paying parking, next to Hotel Aglou Beach. 20 Mad per 24 hrs and free WiFi from the hotel and guy will open toilets for cassettes at 8 pm. For a short period. This is us parked here now. 7 degrees wh3n we woke up 5his morning and already in the high teens. As we left Camping Riad the Fr3nch were gettong 5hete yellow HiVis on as no electricity in camp site. I now have 4 dogs under van seeking shade lol. Mena says hello. Isn't Cornyn a total dick!!!!

Download the app park for night. Look on their map for where you want to go. Select the campsite then press drive to. It takes you to google maps and puts the coordinates in for you. We are heading up from Tan Tan at the moment and going to tafrouate soon. We might see you there!
 
Help please. I have new data card from Marco Tel. This morning and inserted into WiFi and started it up and it says enter pin. I opened up my tablet which connected to the WiFi unit but no internet. I then tried entering 1.9 etc into the browser but unable to enter WiFi unit.

No! It is not free to park on the beach and you can't actually get your motorhome on the beach. Thete is parking beside the hotel next to the beach and as I said in my post it's 20 Mad per 24 hrs. You may find free parking elsewhere in the vicinity bit it's a smallish place and this is by far the best parking location as you can pick up the Hotel WiFi and possible use their toilet facilities in the morning. Eating thete would make this even more possible.
 
Thanks philandmena, sorry getting 20dh and 20 quid mixed up, sounds great
 
@PhilandMena
We've heard the guardian parking near the roundabout at Asilah is closed, is this correct
