I have seen this motorhome many times but it has always been moving but I have now come across it in our local Tesco carpark.

I think that it is just fabulous. What do you think?

Curiously erindoors reckons it's "hideous" and "ugly", at least I think she was looking at the screen when she came out with that Confused Smile

I was thinking that too - I suppose the owner doesn't want to risk any doors 'dinging' it.

Fabulous, I just love the way the primer is shinier than the top coat and how the chimney prevents the awning from opening Very Happy

I bet the chimney retracts - a lot of thought has gone into the design of that motorhome!

At first glance it may seem thoughtless to straddle the the lines, but in reality the owner has it worked out very well.

I wonder if the sign inside the windshield is explaining this ?

The vehicle would take up at least if not slightly more area than one bay. This causes other motorists to move to the very edge or even slightly over their bay and this can create a knock on effect.

Straddling the lines enables the next available bays to be occupied correctly and after the RV has gone, would perhaps prevent criticism of a motorist who had parked too close or over the line.

It also allows the RV to apply enough lock to move away. Something that may not be possible if the next vehicle was parked too close.

......... so we can see all the licence plates etc, but I wonder where it has really been ?.
