Dear Fellow Motorhomer,
February and whilst it’s very winter like in the UK, for the motorhomes on this years Canary Islands tour they are enjoying warm sunny summer weather. The Canary Islands being 2,000 miles south of the UK, means touring there at this time of year the winter is well and truly left behind. The 2026 itinerary for this very popular over winter tour is just being finalised and will be released to the GB Motorhome Tours website over the next month. If you would like to escape next year’s winter, consider taking yourself and your motorhome away for 70 nights of warmth and adventure.

Relating to our tours, we are often asked by motorhomers considering a GB Motorhome Tours for the first time, why do people choose to join a GB Motorhomes Tours holiday. This is probably best answered by some of the thing’s customers say they like about our tours.
• We travel knowing your Tour Directors are on hand to offer any assistance required
• Our motorhome pitch is awaiting us upon arriving at the campsite, usually with little check-in procedure as you have looked after this in advance of our arrival
• We make one booking with you and everything else on the tour is looked after for us
• Your tours are much more than just taking us to a campsite and leaving us there. Included in every tour are organised excursions with local transport, tour guides and entrance fee’s all included – no need to move our motorhome off site
• Each tour includes a number of quality group meals, a chance to enjoy local cuisine and wines in like-minded company
• A comprehensive printed tour pack is sent at least one month prior to departure, containing all the information for the tour – campsite details including GPS co-ordinates, route planning, excursion programme, group meals and general information for continental touring, making planning for our holiday easy
• You include Michelin maps covering the area of the tour within the tour pack, and for most tours, also the DK Eyewitness guide book for the country being visited
If it may be a while before you are next getting away in your motorhome and it is going to be left unused for a period of time, consider parking it with the internal and cupboard doors left open, thus allowing circulating air to reach all areas to avoid damp forming. Likewise with the fridge door, leave this open to keep the fridge nice and fresh inside. If it’s safe to do so, also park the vehicle in gear with the handbrake off, to prevent the brake potentially becoming stuck through a period of non-use. Best of all, try and take the vehicle for a run for around 30 minutes or more every two weeks to keep everything moving and charged. For when you are next away on the continent and driving through France, keep in mind the number of speed cameras in the country has recently been increased by 4,000, along with 500 radar cameras to check that the distance between vehicles complies with regulations. The speed limit on most National roads is now 80km (50mph) and a safe driving distance is considered to be 2 seconds behind the vehicle in front. Fines for non-compliance are imposed and can reach as much as 540€.
We look forward to traveling with you soon. If there is anything you wish to ask about a tour, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to answer any questions.
