With petrol prices spinning as fast as fruit machines these days you do not end up a winner, as the cost of a tank just goes up. Motorhome owners feel the pinch as much as everyone but, as the Motorhome Information Service says, the smart motorhome user is getting miles more enjoyment by smart travelling and making the most of every destination.

Demand for motorhomes is still strong, for both new and used vehicles as they offer independence and flexibility. However, you do not have to go as far as John O’ Groats or Lands End to have a magical motorhome tour. When you are thinking less fuel, MIS says that there are two things to bear in mind; set your sights a bit closer to home and then when you get to your destination, make the most of the immediate surrounding area.

Of course, using those golden rules of greener driving will help towards filling up the tank. So avoid accelerating too fast or braking too quickly, check those tyre pressures, drive at a steady speed, ideally near to 50 or 60 mph, and think about travelling at night to avoid gas-guzzling congestion. When you get there, you can use a bike your motorhome will carry with ease.

You can either opt to stay at the campsites via The Caravan Club and the Camping and Caravanning Club. Prices have been frozen as an added incentive and the facilities are very impressive. Or stop off wherever you fancy for a greater degree of independence.

I will find out soon as I embark on an epic tour de theme parks with my two children. Help! Visit http://www.motorhomeinfo.co.uk/ for more information
