Hello everybody - happy to be on the site

Kids have all left home, leaving just us and the dog...

So after lots of thinking and investigation, we opted for a motorhome..never had one before but hey, it's our time to have fun.....

Found the exact layout and model we wanted - we pick it up next week and we cannot wait..

How excited are we!!!!

You are so right.....

It's like being a kid in the run up to Xmas....

We have been out buying all the bits and bobs so we just have to add food, water and fuel to then disappear on our adventures...

As we are absolute novices, we have booked a site only an hour away for a weekend so we can get used to it, parking, levelling etc....

The dog is rather confused as we have got him a harness so he can be secured in the van..... He's not sure what the devil is going on...

Bring it on!!

Welcome. Our kids have nearly left home, but keep coming back. They were mortified by our MH acquisition but seem to be joining us all the time......We too had never had a MH before this year, but are having a ball. No regrets. Enjoy. One of our best decisions, hope it is for you too

Good idea to have a week near to home - if you have forgotten something or something doesn't quite work your local knowledge should be a godsend. We have only had our Mh since May this year (after 35 years of caravanning) - should have done it sooner

Enjoy your new toy :). We changed from caravanning in May and love it. We had a tent, folder camper and caravan. This is by far the best holiday toy :)

We too have gone through all the types of camping: tent, trailer tent, caravans (too many to count!), now on our 3rd MH - which will definitely be our last!

Just wish we'd gone to motorhome earlier than we did.

Hi!

We're old veterans now; we've owned our motorhome for... oh, three days now ;)

It's a bit scary. There's lots to learn. It's going to be fun!!

We're off on our first trip tomorrow. Just a bit of a drive around Kent but we're taking small steps before going on long journeys.

Hope you have loads of adventures.

WOW! have a really great time and safe motorhoming, all the very best.

I'm still looking for my motorhome, might be a while yet as my brother is away in his and I want him to come with me when buying. I am keeping a lookout on Autotrader and Marquise Motorhomes, it looks like a good site.
