Don’t miss out on the magic of Autumn - here’s why September is one of the best times of the year for taking a trip in your motorhome.
Summer came and went in a flash as it always does but the adventure isn’t over yet, especially if you have a motorhome to continue the story! There’s plenty of reasons to celebrate the arrival of autumn; the colourful leaves begin to fall, the air is fresh and less muggy, and not forgetting that the school holidays have ended.
This means clearer roads, peaceful campsites and of course lower rates due to the midseason. So maybe it’s time to start thinking about your autumn motorhome getaway which will be at a cheerful, cheaper price! Catch the last few rays of summer sunshine with cooler weather that makes walking, cycling and other activities more comfortable.
Want to spend your evenings under the stars? Autumn is an ideal time of year for astronomy lovers. The weather is still warm enough to sit stargazing long into the night, and with a motorhome, you can drive far away from polluted cities and get a clear view of the Milky Way’s 200 billion stars. If you want an idea of places to explore to get the best view of the stars on a clear night, check out the 20 best places to stargaze in the UK.
If you love taking photos whilst travelling around the UK, the winter solstice offers the perfect conditions to match light and photography with the beautiful British landscape. The first and most obvious reason is the rich red, golden and brown leaves which look stunning in any shot. Also with the sun’s trajectory being much lower, the time of the golden hour is significantly longer, giving you time to relax and get the very best Autumnal photos.
The darker evenings and quieter campsites of September make for a better night’s sleep for all campers in the motorhome. Chillier evenings are ideal for snuggling up to watch a movie, play a board game or just unwind with a book. It’s also a great excuse for hot chocolate beside a fire… And a 5 am sunrise won’t be rudely waking you up in the morning either!

"From start to finish they have listened to and met my specific requirements in a friendly but professional manor...."
"Thank you to Gary, who sold us our Autotrail Cheyenne, who made paying for it almost a pleasure. We have no hesitation in recommending Timberland to all."
"Great company, great service, friendly and helpful staff. Lee and Julian are very approachable and knowledgeable, always willing to go that extra mile, even out of hours. Highly recommended."
"Thank you for the service provided by your company when I had a problem with the charging unit on my Home Car 62. The unit you supplied and fitted is working well. Thanks again for all your help."
"Nice to be able to go to look out motorhmes And not have the sales person follow you around, they came and said hello explained that all the Van's were open and more that welcome to look inside and if you need any more information just come and ask. Now that's my sort of experience I like and all the staff we meet were very friendly and helpful."
"My husband and I wish to express our thanks and appreciation for the excellent service we received from everyone when we recently purchased our motorhome. Good service is a rarity these days; hard to find and much-valued."
"We have bought 4 new motorhomes from Timberland and have always received good service. We have never had the hard sell we received from other dealers, Lee and Julian are approachable and happy to advise, and assist where necessary, leaving us to mull over proposed purchases in our own time. We will be back to Timberland when it is time to buy the next van."
"Came down to get a feel for what kind of motorhome would suit me and my partner. I was delighted at how we were looked after by the staff. It was a cold day so hot drinks were offered and the staff were happy to let us wander around. Great service."
"Good selection of motorhomes not to dear price wise and good after sales"
"I have been a customer for, almost, eighteen years and currently own my eighth motorhome. I have had issues with some of my vehicles but all have been resolved at the earliest possible date, as I live 148 miles away. I have NEVER had just cause not to trust anyone at Timberland and would certainly never take my business elsewhere. They have all become my friends over the years and I class them as my second family..enough said."
"We just wanted to thank you for making our stay so pleasant when we had to have repairs carried out on our motorhome. A special thank you to Simon and Lee as we feel that they went out of their way to help. Again our Thanks."
"Many thanks for the delivery of my son's motorhome. You deserve a medal for your kindness and helpfulness. Thank you once again."
