I am going to buy one of them and want to know what you guys/gals think. It will be myself, wife and 2 kids (both below 4) who will use it so what do you lot think?
I think the motorhome is good as its all in one but thought if i go to newquay for instance then if i need to go to the town then i have to drive the motorhome there and finding a parking space would be a tad hard.
Any ideas? :D

oh break................ ;D ;D ;D ;D
Answer to your question...Caravan everytime for me.....i cannot possibly comment anymore due to being singled out... ;D ;D ;D ;D

On a serious note....You are correct about the parking thing, it can sometimes be a little hard to park a motorhome in some of the small places i have visited, also when you are pitched up on a site and you wish to go anywhere you have to disconnect everything and put anything you have out on your surfaces away.
Each to there own and dont get me wrong, motorhomes are a good way to get about the country when you have small children, they also hold their prices better than a caravan, some of them cost a small mortgage.

motorhomes are good in france etc, loads of free camping spots not like the uk when you get charged to deaf just for parking up, i did 8 wk for free in france , 2 kids ,wife, great fun, but uk , get a caravan

I am hoping to borrow My dads for the lakes meet, he's got a little camper van for his 'one man and his dog moments' never gets used. ;)
At a couple of caravan places yesterday swmbo adamant we are not selling our static and getting a tourer. :D

Yeah, ive just been saying that to the wife. I have seen a big motorhome , lovely and all but nearly 40k. Seen a 6 berth Brand New caravan with fixed bed in the back for £14k , thats a big difference.

Hi qwerty. Don't be put off by the "in" jokes on here. I've been here ages and I still don't understand some of the things that go on. ::)
Welcome to the forum, anyway. If you're going to get an Omega (what size engine?), I understand it is a super vehicle for towing. At the end of the day, though, it depends on your personal preference.
If you've got two young nippers, I would prefer to have them properly strapped up in the back of the Omega. Too many distractions in the motorhome.

You would not wat to be either, IMHO i would go for the caravan, when my daughter was young it was good fun, you have an home base and a lot cheaper than hotels etc if you intend using it often, come and go as you please.

Apologies from me and welcome to the forum.
Some of the antics of the forum take a bit of getting used to, I just watched for the first few weeks, not daring to post as everyone seemed to know each other so well. Time cures all, most of us have never met we just get used to each other on here, and I am still new to it all really. There is no offence meant to anyone, it is all in fun and Loo newbie being a newbie is common place, happens regularly.
Get a Caravan, as has been said packing up the motor home to pop to the shops is a pain, also you cant leave swmbo behind with the kids while you slope off somewhere. When we had our tourer I used to commute to work sometimes during the long summer holidays. Whatever you decide enjoy btw we now have a static caravan, home from home. :) :) :)

I vote hotel/b&b/lodge/hostel

Thought TB was on his holidays, and we have been talking about caravans. :o :o But only to advise a newbie in the best spirit of the forum. :D :D :D

Caravan - much nicer vehicle when you get there, motor homes are best for one night stays, poor for long stays

Have'nt you forgot to mention something ::)....ermm maybe a..........

Pro's and con's
Motorhome
Tax, MOT, servicing and insurance every year
Ability to move from site to site very quickly
If over 6 foot high very limited parking
Cost seems ridiculous.
Possibility of loosing your pitch when out for the day
Few dealers able to service the base vehicle as they can't get high tops in there workshops
Caravan
Insurance every year
Does not cost just to sit in a driveway
No chance of loosing your pitch on a site
Far easier home maintenance
Not so easy to move sites if you are out that day you have to return to site to collect caravan
Easy theft target, even just stopped in motorway services they can get stolen.
Towing long distace can be tiring
Personally I don't own either, but family members have both and these are just observations I have made while seeing and talking about there set ups.
