We have sold the 11 year old Bessacarr motorhome and have bought a new Lunar 560 caravan, after towing our car behind the van to Spain this year (£800 fuel) plus cost of keeping it on the road we have gone back to caravanning.

Family all grown up and this is a van for us, next year we tour the lakes and Scotland somewhere we have never been, cant wait to give it a try, had the van delivered to our home address yesterday.

Just have to fine some sites for next year to get them booked.

Hope it all goes well with your new van. Congratulations

A motorhome has always been my dream tbh so it just goes to show there's no perfect outfit.

Glad to see you have joined the 'Back to the Caravan Club' too.

We did the same and have met more than few people who spent a lot of money buying a MH only to find that 'Living the Dream' was not quite what they thought it would be.

Hope you enjoy your new van.

We did the same after having 3 new motorhomes in 5 years. Always used sites and stayed in Spain for 3 months so having a car was useful.

Now in France on a 6 week holiday and only using two sites apart from stopovers on the way south.

Could not see the point in towing a car but I did see yesterday a panel van conversion towing a car.

Now into the fourth week of sun

Mike

I could never see the logic of towing a car behind a motorhome. Always seemed more logical to tow a caravan behind the car. You get much more for your money and there is only one vehicle to tax and MOT.

I don't know much about camping car aires but ordinary aires allow caravans.  When a motorhome tows a car you are transporting 2 engines and transmissions etc. and there is less space than in a similar sized caravan. 

There are plusses and minuses to both.

I cant't say we have had any problems with our towcar in France.  Certainly no worse than Conwy's high street or some of our country lanes.

This year and next we have hired a static and are taking my clio.  Its just so cheap to hire a static at whit.
