Or when you show someone round:

"gosh, you could live in this"

 

[jonandshell]

Kids expecting you to die, leaving them all your cash instead of you enjoying your life, need disowning and kicking out on the street!

They can bloody work for their possessions as we have to!

Interesting comment from my Mum when we got home from our USA trip.....

"So glad you are more sensible with your money than your Dad and I. You keep enough in reserve for the rainy day and enjoy the rest. We just saved ours in the hope of fulfilling a dream and are now too old and sick to do what we wanted to."

I guess he hadn't got abreast of the subject!

Friends, neighbours and relatives all supportive. I can't recall one negative comment

My mum still calls ours a caravan

 

[dabhand]

There are no complaints when you've got a houseful of people staying and someone gets the nice and cosy, secluded and private bedroom with en-suite facilities and tea making facilites, where they can escape the hullabaloo for a bit of peace and quiet!

 

[Snowbird]

HOW MUCH !!!. But you could have bought a nice caravan for that instead of a campervan, then we could have all used it.

I bet that doesnt do much to the gallon of petrol.

Bloody hell dad, not another one, why did you not sell the other one first.

How many birth is that.

You really are trying to spend the lot arnt you.

Am going to get one of those when I retire.

You mean you actually DRIVE to Spain, how long does it take in THAT and which way do you go.

How can you live for so long in such a small space,and how do you wash clothes.

Where's the toilet and does it just drop on the floor outside.

These are just a few of the many.

Can we use it for festivals? Obvious question from kids.
Great delight in saying that, unfortunately, given your age your driving license won't let you! Sometimes being older brings it's own benefits!

 

[TheBig1]

all the above and more, but my favourite....
"daaaaaaaad, you know that you love me? each time i bring a nice new van home and the daughter sees it

I wish my mum was alive to see it. She would be thrilled to bits

Yes, my dear ole Mum did all she could for my future. I thank her every day.
She would have loved my Motorhome.
Thank you Mum xx

No doubt about it my mum would have loved the motorhome, but she would be more surprised that am still alive. She always used to be saying, you will kill yourself with that thing. Another of her favourites was "When are you going to get a proper job", even when I had a fleet of trucks on the road with a several million turnover.

We had comments like :

Isnt that just for old people!

Rather you than me

But to be honest most have been supportive and our neighbours especially have been lovely. Some want to see around it and are surprised how roomy it is for such a small van

 

[graham&shirley]

How many miles to the gallon: always tell them the gas mileage not the petrol and watch jaw drop

Also how many can it sleep: Always say 2 (even if it sleeps 6)

 

[WillH]

I recall that as I drove home from the dealers in my new van I stopped at some traffic lights in Glasgow. A black cab stopped alongside me and the driver motioned for me to wind down the window.
"Just bought it, right?", yes I said.
"Brand new, aye?", yes again.
"Ya beaut!"

Made my day.

He's a bird then? As in a feathered bird .... oh, I'm still digging the hole aren't I?

 

[reckless]

Daughter "got rid of MX5, got rid of motorbike, bought MH, mobility scooter next?"
Hopefully not at least for many years. Not meaning to offend anyone who does need a scooter.
And our children also very happy to see us enjoying our hard-earned!

 

[joner8888]

That`s in good nick , do you want to sell it .

Me? You're joking right? We've only had it a few months. It may be a Swift (I hear the boos) but we love it

 

[calion]

My neighbours said "at least you've got somewhere to go if you have a row with hubby"!

 

[wingman]

• My neighbour shouts to his wife, "Oi Jan, bloody gypsies have arrived next door, we're movin"
• My daughter (who lives in a posh area) "Oh dad, how embarrassing!"
• Passer-by in the street (1.) "Bin anywhere in it?"
• Passer-by in the street (2.) "There's one of those on Corrie"
• Mucky-minded mate, "You christened it yet?"
