So I finally took the plunge and bought a van (autocruise accent) last week and am still pretty intimidated by the amount I have to learn (and buy!).
I started competing at dog agility last year so that's one reason for the van, plus trips and holidays.
Parking at home is a bit of a nightmare (it's fine if ALL the neigbours are considerate and leave enough space) so the van will go into storage place next weekend. Just hoping that the inconvenience doesn't end up meaning I don't use it.
Please be patient with any daft questions I may ask!

I think a motorhome will be ideal for dog agility and they definately are for holidays:)

Don't go mad buying things you think you need, use it a few times and make a list ....otherwise you end up with a pile of stuff you thought you'd use (personal experience:whistle::LOL:)

Did you check with your insurer about parking on the road as most Motorhome policies won't cover you if the van is kept on the road.

Hi there, we have same van, so if we can be of any help just shout! Wanted to get one while our last dog was still with us, but SWMBO said sharing small space with one snoring anti social animal was her limit:). Mind he was a big lad at over 12 stone so payload might have suffered!
