Hi all,
we've just joined as we sold our house 3 weeks ago and have for the forseeable future gone full time touring. We have a large twin axle caravan with slide out, so lots of room. When we bought it nearly 4 years ago we had 4 oldish dogs (sadly all passed on now) so needed the room. At the time we deliberated between caravan or motorhome and eventually went caravan.
Before selling the house we only did small trips with it, to just one site and home again. Since living in it and touring in it we've found it difficult to find sites on short notice and have had to book the sites nearly a month in advance, which is not what we had planned to do, as wanted to be more relaxed and go with the flow. We're not sure if it has alot to do with Covid and more people using sites now?
We planned on doing alot of Europe touring and obviously nothing is 'normal' anymore, so difficult to plan things so far in advance as restrictions change daily.
We are now thinking we need to get a motorhome (and maybe tow car) so we could be more self sufficient and be able to move and stop as we wanted alot easier, with overnight stops etc.
We are used to having room, so want something reasonably big 7.5 - 9m.
So we're busy looking at all makes and models to find the best layout etc for us. Everything seems to be selling fast though!
We'll be having a good look around the forum to get tips and ideas, so we can hopefully make the right choice and learn from other peoples mistakes.
Thanks
Michelle & Ian
