Good luck with your decision. We have never had to re-peg in the middle of a howling gale. The only things we pack and unpack are clothes to no issue there.
Never found the driving boring as it can be a challenge to stay on the road sometimes with HGVs closely zooming by. I have always thought that the 60mph was a safe speed and even if it was 90mph I would still travel at about 60mph.

It has taken several years of heartseaching to finally bite the bullet and give up caravanning after 33 years. The whole concept became too much for us both and so we've come to this point in our lives. We both found that we had just simply lost interest in caravanning.

I sold my caravan yesterday with all the accompanying equipment collected over the years and there was plenty of it I can tell you!

The things I shall not miss.........? Putting up the awning, taking down the awning, having to get up in the middle of the night to re-peg it down during a howling gale and pouring rain, emptying the chemical toilet, packing up to go home, getting home and having to unpack everything, driving long distances on mind-numbingly, boring motorways at an even more mind-numbingly boring 60 mph.

The things I will miss.......waking up in the morning to the sound of nothing but bird song, the smell of someone cooking bacon wafting across the site and in the main the caravanning fraternity.

I've enjoyed being a contributor on this site for more years than I can remember, and I'll probably dip into it from time to time when I've nothing else better to do.

Best wishes to all of you for your future endeavours in camping and caravanning. Me and my wife........we're off to find other things to do!

Vic
