Evening all !
I've been advised to join this forum from a work colleague, as I'm soon to buy a motorhome & do a spot of exploring.
I lived in Germany for a while with a husband who didn't like to explore & didn't like dogs....so I got rid of him & got my dog & am soon to get my motorhome to see all the places I wanted to go on the Continent & here in UK.
I'm open to your recommendations for places to see & things to do (with a dog) keep it clean!
I'm giving us 6-8 months to try to achieve a decent attempt at a tour.
(I'm also happy to take suggestions on a good £10 - £12k first time buy)

"so I got rid of him " A likle bit harsh!lol welcome to the forum!

Hi and welcome, have you got a certain layout in mind or a max size as size is important so I'm told . Just for starters something like an old Hymer would be great as they are built to last.

 

[Gorse Hill]

You come to the right place for advise, and lots of it
Good luck with your adventure you won't regret a minute of it and the dogs will love it

I quite fancy an old Hymer, what with the dog as my travelling companion n all. I can't have anything too 'cream & beige'

Hi and welcome to FUN the best forum on the net for all your motorhome questions, and as others have said it's all about lay out get that right and the rest should just fall into place, well hopefully.

not overly bothered with a magnificent kitchen, but I'm 6ft so need a long bed (& a loo would be a bonus!)

Hi and welcome to the fun from Devon, feel free to drop by if you are local, give me a pm first to make sure I am there. If I can help at all just let me know. We have two dogs horses and cows. Keep an eye open for the Ilfracombe rally in August there will be a bit of a dog show there as well.

I met my other half in Germany and we celebrated our 35th last year* But she does like dogs and loved travelling, although the night we spent in the car in Saudi Arabia trying to sleep through a sandstorm did test things a bit.

But a big welcome and if you do want to be adventurous have a look at what you can get for your money in Germany. @Snowbird is our special correspondent on importing from there.

*might have been 36th...

[hilldweller]

a husband who didn't like to explore & didn't like dogs....so I got rid of him

The heartbroken fellow was only thinking of you. He really wanted to go sky diving, white water rafting, abseiling but he thought you might be frightened or worse, get hurt so he played it safe. And the same with dogs, do you know how many people are killed by dogs every year, he could not risk it.

Anyway he said it's all behind him now and his new blond Swedish wife, whom he met white water rafting, she's the famous pole dancer with a passion for sky diving and aerobatics has taught him to sky dive with their German Shepherd, Rufus and he's quite enjoying life.
