It's the way people do things these days, I was amazed at a recent Cadwell club meeting - there were 30k+ motorhomes everywhere with WSB style set-ups in the paddock. Travelling mob handed in a van/trailer is much cheaper and more secure, not sure i'd want to let an RC30 out of my sight anywhere even on the IoM which is another sign of times and in standard road trim it will defo overheat in slow traffic unless you have a rad kit fitted. I see the point and fun of riding to/from and that feeling when you get off the ferry but that sort of outlook is sadly a reducing number these days, I used to do it but only because I had family accomodation and my kit already on the island. I do have a lot of respect and admiration for people who travel and camp for the Manx and TT.
