    They are great fun. And makes for a cheaper way to travel and have your accommodation. You know what the Yanks are like, they like all of their amenities. The last one I rented had air con, furnace, generator, cooker, fridge, shower, toilet, TV and a microwave lol. The RV parks are well set up with electric hook ups, Hot Showers, dump stations and places to refill your tanks, ranger stations etc. It's an easy and fun way to travel around.

    Thirsty as **** though. The last one I had was their 'eco-line' version. It was a Ford F-150 truck on the front. 5.8 litre V8 petrol engine lol. I remember getting 8mpg out of it on the mountain roads in Sequoia national park

    Made my monster truck look like a Tesla lol

    Currently in Marrakech. People aren't exaggerating about the taxi drivers are they? Absolute ****ing chancers <laugh>

    Don't get me wrong I respect a man's right to hustle and earn his living but some people fully take the piss.

    Probably my favourite city. Great place to just mooch about. People tend to be sound too as long as you’re male.

    Yeah it's class mate albeit a bit hot for nipper. Agree everyone is sound apart from those trying to scam you.

    Wish I brought more shorts mind given there's ****s everywhere wearing them.

    Yeah it’s liberal. Birds can wear what they want without taking the piss. Get some of those funky colourful trousers from the market.

    It doesn't matter which country in the world you are, if it's a holiday destination, there will be scammers.

    Morocco is renowned for the hustle. It's not really scamming like somebody trying to sell you a fake Rolex on the beach either. Although there's plenty of that too lol.

    But yeah, as a tourist. You'll be quoted the highest prices

    Best to agree a price before you start a journey.

    Then you can play them off of each other.

    Think that's the worst thing to do tbh but had no choice so far as none will stick the meter on. The meters start well cheap which why they don't want to use them.

    Definitely a case of playing off each other though. Went somewhere yesterday for 30 and went taxi rank afterwards and they wanted 100 for same trip back. Took a 5 min walk and hailed one from street to get the price of 30 again.

    Sicily tomorrow for just over a week. Somewhere near Catania. Going for a wedding which will have plenty of Arsenal fans so Sunday should be nice. Anyone been?

    I’m only going so I can sit outside a cafe with an espresso and copy of Gazzetta Dello Sport pretending I’m James Richardson.

    Looking to do a trip to South east Asia but a bit worried about the dog meat trade. Not sure I could handle seeing caged dogs waiting to be cooked.

    Anyone been and know whether it's avoidable or not? Mainly looking at Cambodia and Vietnam.
