Been  doing it since Feb 2007 and have  no regrets up to now, we have used our  daughters address for all  our banking, insurances, etc . Up to know we  havent   taken the van abroad just like  book a late deal and fly off  all inclusive   we have a dog so may  take the  van abroad when she goes to doggie heaven dont know as  must admit we enjoy flying     ( going  to Spain next Tuesday for a week my big 60 lol).Last year  we took a job on a campsite as wardens  and liked it so much going back again end of March for the season. When  we go  off to do our touring  i have a camping twintub which is one of the best things i have bought its great, i know we carnt do this life for ever  but shall  do it as long as we are fit enough to  then we  will have to go back  into a house

I too would love to have a crack at living in the van just roaming from site to site. However I'd try to do as Ratty suggested & rent the house out on short term agreements so I could get back in as & when. I knew a chap who just gave up his business, rented out his house & went off in his caravan, I thought he'd taken to touring full time but it turned out he & his wife are running a site & living on it in their caravan. I hope you'll keep us up to speed if you take the plunge & do it.

How much is a twintub? I usually soak our washing with a bit of small and mighty and vanish in the shower tray, leave it for a few hours and wash out, works well but could do with a labour saving device for longer trips. Don't really fancy warden work, as we like to move about.

We are both coming up to 60 and considering retiring (being public sector employes it might be sooner rather than later!) We reckon we will tour Europe in ther low season while we are fit enough.

May consider Eurocamp/Keycamp option if we could get it.

Going to go to Australia for a few months when we retire as SWMBO was born there. We are putting money aside now for our trip.

Difficult to get much return on savings at the mo!
