we could still use the motorhome but you've seen it bigtoe, its a bit big to explore those narrow roads and lovely little villages in .  Also the inlaws have rented there apartment out in Devon this summer so will be using the MH more.

We are looking for another van, we took the damp van back prepared to let them to sort it properly, what we got was a very irate dealer who ranted at us and said the rotten wood wasnt and that it would be fine when it dried out! His response left us gobsmacked as according to him the van had been dry three weeks prior when we picked it up. Where the water was entering the van we found a strip of mastic which he said had nothing to do with the damp and would not listen (actually told me I didnt know what I was talking about). After a 20 min rant from him we asked for our money back and we got the cheque on Tuesday.

So as to what we go to France in, well it will be a caravan once we find another one! We loved the weekend we went away in the damp one and know for us a van is the right way to go.

What are the Canvas tents like?  Is it a loose groundsheet or SIG?  I like the idea of the tent bargains, but can't comtemplate the chance that creepies will get into the tent! 

I don't mind the main bit of the tent being non-SIG but need to have a bedroom that can be sealed all round, as I really wouldn't get any sleep if there was any possibilty of spiders getting in - I'm terrrified of them!  Would rather take my own tent for peace of mind if the bedrooms don't seal completely.
