Following being seriously injured when someone strayed into my lane & hit me head on whilst out on my motorbike & left with no chance of working again, I was faced with the dillemma. Having paid all my dues & demands over the years (over 1/4 mill to the goverment) I went with my hand out for a little back, guess what ? not a bean as I had to much in savings.

Dillemma:-

Do I carry on until my funds dwindle away over the years ?

Do I blow a load of cash on thing I've always wanted & try again ?

For those who don't wish to know the answer please stop now & close this screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love my new RAPIDO 997M - A class on a Merc, with all the gizmo's.

Nowt in my pockets & no finance, but well happy.

We'll be paying for ours over the next 15 years - we took a small mortgage out to do major repairs and decided bugger it!  We'll buy a motor home and only do the desperate repairs.  As our 14 year old dughter is recovering from cancer we came to the conclusion that you never know what tomorrow may bring so enjoy today - and thats exactly what we intend to do!

Hmmm! Bit of sarcasm called for here methinks. Amazing what these "resurrected posts" bring forth.

 

Wizzer, good luck with the future. Being a 'biker, I know only too well the pitfalls. & Mrs. Taylor, I reckon you've got your priorities bang on.

Hi Mrstaylor

There are many reasons for buying motorhomes it seems from the posts we read in forum and you could not have a better one than your daughter in recovery. 

Happy camping17
