We bought our first motorhome in 2009 but a family illness and subsequent bereavement meant that we were not able to use it. The MH was subsequently sold on as it seemed a waste having it sitting on the drive. I retired at the end of 2015 and decided to dip my toe in the water again. This time, after much deliberation we decided to be more tentative with our investment and were drawn to a Leisuredrive Vivante camper van, which we bought cheaply as spares of repair and then spent ÂŁ4000 on a thorough welding overhaul of the underside. Apparently, the "spares or repair" status was accurate! So far we have made one journey touring Wales and enjoyed the experience. Now planning another trip to Scotland. I am already thinking about an upgrade when my wife gives up working in a couple of years.
