Hello everyone! In this weeks episode we give our thoughts on the future of van life, motorhome life and all things park related. Pete has worked in the holiday park industry for over 7 years now and has seen how much it has changed over time, but due to COVID we feel that things are changing a whole lot quicker! We talk though how touring parks have gone up in price, how parks are being developed into static sites rather than touring, car parks getting harder to park in due to new restrictions, parks getting busier due to stay-cations and so much more.We know that we have been a little mismatched with out episodes lately and we wanted to apologise for that but life has started to take over!
