Welcome back Andy & Ros. I didn't know there were any UKCS meets. Would be interested if there were any not too far from us. Where can I find out?

Welcome back!!!

We had a motorhome for the last 12 years and have now sold it and got a caravan
When we had the MH because of OH having walking difficulties we usually had to take the car as well and where is the sense in that?
I suppose we could have towed a small car but where is the sense in that either?
So, back to a nice 2 berth with a big bathroom and that doesn't need tax and test and constant mollycoddling

Anyway we don't like the new motorhomes which are at best ugly and at worst very ugly

andy&ros That's you all set for next season then (unless you are intrepid winter campers of course) It's our first season after the motorhome mistake and our first retirement season as well so we intend to really go for it.!!!

Have fun

Our van is now winterised until spring too, as at our age we don't venture outside any more than we have to during winter. We are not such hardy types as some, and we like our creature comforts. We have to watch the pennies too, so we only go caravanning when we would most enjoy it. In other words, when its nice and warm!

Best Regards,
Colin
