Years ago we brought a tent, seemed a good idea at the time as tents are cheap, but didn't realise all the bits you need with is cost 10x more. On a cold frosty morning waking up next to a shiny new caravan with the owners reading their papers sitting in comfort in the warm van made use think, we want some of that, so we brought a caravan, it was great but needed a better car to tow it...more money! Watching motorhomes turn up and generally travel on the next morning looked appealing but well out of our price range so one holiday we decided to hire one, this we did a couple of times learning some valuable lessons in the process so when the time was right we took the plunge and got our own, it was the best thing we could have done. Nothing against caravans but last year on holiday we based ourselves in the dales and travelled out to distant places each day and it was that drive back to the static every time that sold us the lifestyle we wanted, put simply to move on not go back all the time. So how did you enter the Motorhome arena?
