weve only been members a couple of days, but i'll fill you in with some background, so hopefully you can advise us.
We have made a decision to go from tugging, to fulltime motorhoming. we have travelled a lot in europe etc with landrovers, and would like to explore a lot more. the idea would be to live in the motorhome, with a base in the Uk near to our kids (easily sorted with a local farmer), initially I will carry on working (hgv driver) and then let the trips get longer and longer.
We have discussed the down side of this, i.e "what if it does'nt work" and we don't like it, no problem...back to the UK, park up and live in the MH while not paying stupid gas/leccy/council tax etc....or sell it and rent, at least we will have another adventure under our belts and wont be sitting around getting fleeced by the govt while waiting to die!
The problem is, being new to motorhomes, tis all a bit confusing, we know what we are looking for, something BIG (missus likes a bit of space) good sized bedroom and bathroom, (end situated) , I want a diesel, prefferably merc...but all the terminology is a bit baffling. when does a MH become an RV? What type of MH are more suited to fulltiming? etc etc.
i have been reading the post's non stop, but would appreciate people's thought's...even if it is "don't do it ", a theme of being part of the landrover community is "one life, live it", and we try to do that, so if youv'e got the time, your opinion's wouldbe welcome:thumb:
