Hi, haven't posted on here for months...but lurking on and off. Hubby and I are still a long way off from maybe purchasing a motorhome....we are both pleased it is taking a time, as generally reading it seems that most folks take 18 months to a year before they dive in. We go from 90% sure to 50/50....we weigh up the arguments for and against. The fors being freedom for as and when holidays etc....the against being the £'s spent to purchase one as opposed to the number of holidays we would have over the next say 4 years if we didn't purchase. The cost of insurance and keeping it etc......we are starting to take on the thought that it will become a hobby, and hubby is already thinking of ways to change the driveway and making it theftproof. Friends of ours have had one for a time, but not used it since October last year and their next time away will be April....so its been stored up for 6 months.....thats a long time for it to be sitting there unused. Me and hubby intend to go away all year round.....especially as he will be retired and we have the time and inclination. We are going to go to a couple of shows this year and really look and take in everything.......I suppose when the time comes I'm sure we will take the plunge....so would love to hear your stories of when and why you purchased your motorhome.
