My current motorhome - Swift Rio 320 two berth model
This is my current 2018 model.

Dimensions weight less than 3500 Tons so no need for 7500 Ton driving Licence L 6.4 mtrs x W 2.26 mtrs x H 2.78 mtrs
This is a Fiat Ducato commercial base vehicle typical of majority of most motor homes.
Swift Rio 320
Note the large tailgate door that was the main reason I bought this vehicle so that I could load my railway models and other things straight in the back. Also do not need big vehicle now.
my previous motor home it is a C.I. Carioca 625. This is a 6 berth vehicle.

This is one of the negative things when you own such a large vehicle. Since the wife died and the grandchildren have grown up my Daughter and Son in Law do not come with me which is a relief from the wear and tear on the vehicle. Hence the reason I have 2 berth vehicle now.
Somewhere in France relaxing with a beer.

Mountain Pass to Andorra from France in the Pyrenees
A little story here, had been on a camp site at Tarascon - sur - Ariege. During the night there was a horrendous storm, as I left in the morning I noticed it had been snowing lightly. Carried on towards the higher ground and noticed the hillsides seemed to be getting more covered in snow, then a Snow Plough overtook. I followed for some distance with snow getting deeper. Suddenly snow plough stopped. I was stuck behind a row of cars putting snow chains on, I now had no traction so had to reverse for about a mile before I could turn around. This road is too narrow to turn large motorhomes, took 12 hours to get into Spain by coast road route.

La Coupole, Facility the Germans built in Northern France to manufacture V2 Rockets to Bomb England in the War, luckily RAF used Tall boy bombs to severely damage facility before it could be used. Now a Memorial Museum to prisoners who died there on the construction you can go right inside under that dome where there is a lot of historical exhibits.
