We are currently in the process of changing our lives, We plan to give up our careers somtime this year (have not finalised the exact date yet). We will still work, but on a campsite for 7 months or so and then off to Spain for the winter.
Now to the questions we need answering.
We currently have a 5er and dodge ram which is ideal for living in and we love them both, but, Sally will not drive the dodge, on our days off she would want to return home to vist grandkid so needs a vehicle.
It is not really practical or cost effective to keep her car long term for these trips as will only be a couple of times a month.
So in the next couple of years do we:
Down size the 5er and get a european pickup that she can drive?
Buy a twin axle caravan and economical tow vehicle?
What sort of mileage could we expect from a european pickup Towing and solo, Anyone had one of these chipped does it improve MPG.
If we changed to a caravan it would be a German 8ft wide, what problems would this cause us in our trips to Spain.
