I suppose I should start with saying hello!
I'm Simon and I don't own a motorhome quite yet. But I'm looking...
So why am I here? Back in the mid 70's when I was very young, my Dad bought a new Devon-converted bay window VW and we went to France in it on a family holiday. Great times and I remember most of it. Dad sold the VW some months later and has regretted it ever since.
So I'm now older and am getting a mite irritated by putting up tents in the rain. And putting them down again. So I threw my toys out of the pram and we hired a motorhome to tour my wife's native Scotland last month. Only for a week. Loved it!
Well, I did especially. So I now want to buy one of my own. And I suppose it harks back to that summer in 1976. That VW also got me into Land Rovers, but that's another story entirely.
But I don't want a VW, though. Too small. I'm particularly taken with Hymer and am renting an older mid-90's one next month for a weekend and am very excited about it! As one is... I hope you understand.
So there it is. No motorhome as yet. Still trying to convince my wife but happily gazing at adverts 'by way of research'....
