david lloyd Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Best cure for the shock Denise is to get away in the van and relax. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyhb Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 We only changed from a caravan just over a year ago. The garage has still got boxes of junk that came out of the caravan, never took the caravan to a weighbridge must have been well overweight & I suspect most caravanner's are. Like you we felt naked the first few months, no full awing to hide us from the neighbours and numerous bits of kit that you must have with you that only get used one day a year. Took us a while to get used to moving on rather than basing ourselves in one place now we have got used to it we rarely stay in one place for more than 2 nights. Would never go back to a caravan the Motorhome lifestyle is much better & easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hi Denise, We have just moved to a motorhome from a large twin axle caravan and I filled half of my garage with the contents of the van just before handover. We've put all the essentials into the motorhome, yet we've still got a massive pile of stuff that we no longer need. Sold on full & porch awnings, aqua roll, wastemaster, step etc.... yet I still can't get back in the garage. Makes you wonder where it all came from... :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJay Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Motor homes are great, as long as you are able to cycle, or walk long distances. When you can't, you either have to park near to facilities , Towns ,villages or good transport links. we love Mh at the moment, but may have to change to a caravan, at some stage, as beging to need transport,(can't ride a bike) and don't see the point of towing a car, cheaper to tow a caravan, behind a car!!

PJay Tried a caravan recently for much the same reasons but didn't get on with it - changed back to a panel van conversion and can still enjoy the motorhome life without any restrictions.

dream machine Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 On & off we caravaned for 30+ years until we converted to to MotorHome 2 years ago. Just the 2 of us now (our 4 grown up children gone their own way) so a High top van conversion does us fine - the freedom is brilliant - now can go anywhere at a drop of a hat. I agree though - we did end up ditching an awful lot of useful (but rarely used) items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
