I’m always interested in what other people are doing in their motorhomes, so I recently put ‘motorhome adventures Europe’ into the search box at youtube. What struck me immediately was the images of happy smiling couples looking like they had just won the lottery, women with perfect makeup, lots of glasses of wine and beer,
Our third morning on the Area de Servicios Autocaravanas at Canfranc Estacion so the Hymer has had electic hook-up for 3 days, that means the leisure batteries and the engine battery have all been on charge for 3 days. When I came to start the engine to move over to the service area the engine
Yesterday when we came to start the Hymer after 2 nights at Isaba in the mountains of Spain we got a nasty surprise, that slow grinding sound caused by a battery that is almost flat. We looked at each other and wondered what had run our battery down? After a couple of more attempts or

Diesel prices were high, as you would expect, because of the war. Check out our route and read about the
Our homepage has been updated so that it now shows maps of our motorhome treks, this is a big improvement because it lets you select what you want to see directly from a map. The problems with google Timeline continue, as far as we can see google Timeline is no longer any use to us.
I’m conscious that although this website is titled “Wandering Winetasters’ Website” there are not many mentions of wine and the various wine producers that we visit.
