Hi everyone, I'm Mark and married to Lucy. We've been caravanning for the last 17 years and are now looking at early retirement in the next three years.
The aim is to rent out our house and shop and travel around Europe taking it as slow as possible and seeing the bits that we have always flown past on our two week holidays. We've been reading a number of blogs and decided that is the life for us (while we still can do it).
We've been looking for a motor home to suit our needs and quickly realised that it won't be as easy as we thought. Being used to a large caravan (similar layout to an Autotrail Commanche) and a large car to store anything that won't fit in the van has left us a bit spoilt. We want a large lounge, kitchen, bathroom and island bed all packaged up in a motor home that will be able to navigate small villages. Something has to give. Not only that we want the extra two forward facing seat belts for occasional visits from our daughter and fiancé, lots of storage space and we live inside the LEZ.
We've been to Excel this year and looking forward to Peterborough so we can look through more motors and get completely confused again. Since we still have three years to keep looking I'm sure that we will eventually find something that will tick most of the boxes.
Sue has invited us to your beer tent at Peterborough so we might just see some of you there.
