Hi everyone, After 20 years of towing 9 different vans we have bought an Autocruise StarSpirit motorhome due to both of us having ill-health. It's been fun chatting on this forum and we'll miss you all.

Can anyone advise the best place to sell our van. It is an Elddis Odyssey 550 with island bed 2008 model. If anyone is interested give me a call.

                                                        Best wishes,

                                                                 Martyn.

We enjoyed 3 motorhomes the last being an Autotrail Scout, but we never solved the problem of personal transport once the unit was parked.

We tried bikes, buses and walking and even considered towing a car, so I would be interested to hear other ideas.

We are currently building a trike (motor trike) and intend to tow this behind with a kit for towing it.

Will let you know how we get on

We did tow a car but found it much worse than than towing a caravan. Have now gone back to caravanning and are now really enjoyng ourselves being able to get around again with no parking problems and more room in the van. (each to his own)

I reckon there are loads of us who have gone back to caravanning after "living the dream" !!!

Not that many will admit it though. Did meet three couples last year who had done the same as us and lost a packet.
