RV / Caravan rental and use in the UK.
Planning a trip to the UK in July for 5 weeks. Plane is booked and landing at Gatwick July 1. Has anyone rented an RV in the UK and toured England, Scotland and Wales (maybe Ireland)?and what advise ...

If you've never camped in the UK then be prepared for some major differences to camping in the US. I used to camp a lot and essentially don't expect much.... Campgrounds are usually only a field with (if your lucky) a water
spigot. Usually there are no facilities like we are used to in the US.
I'm sure they are around but I never stayed at "full facility" campgrounds and if you choose to stay in remote areas then "rustic" would be a good description. Not to rain on your parade - but you may be disappointed.
My info is 30 years old, so things may have changed but when I was there 3 years ago - it did not seem to have changed much. Also expect any motorhome that you hire to be really cramped by US standard. I don't think I ever saw a with slide-outs.
Camping in Spain was totally different - the places I stayed at were closer to what we are used to.
