Finding the time for motorhoming (1 Viewer)

[Wildbill]

Well even with our recent journeys we are finding it increasingly difficult to find time for our motor home.
with the wee-man now playing rugby nearly every weekend or training.
I now realist that we can no longer divide our self's in two.
Most week i just don't have the time now between work commitments and family commitment's to ether mentane the van and look after Lynn who health is deteriorating
soume thing has to give so i have made the decision to lay the van up.
i am laying the van up not leaving fun you don't get rid of me that easily

Nothing is for ever - circumstances will change and you will start travelling again xx

we went through that phase, but still got away for the school holidays Bill. worth keeping the van though even as a man cave. caring for your partner takes its toll and sometimes that bolthole helps restore your sanity

It's just a different direction for a while
Life changing times

@Janine is right, there was time thanks to my kids Judo, swimming football school whatever that made us not go away as much as we wanted. But there's holidays for school kids Bill. At the moment we have been away 12 out of 13 weeks, partly due to having the house done up but partly down to my running or cycling events. We now use the van for these more than anything else. Or a rock and roll weekend a good old fashioned piss up next weekend for a few of us, you never know what turns up and having done the van, keep it going.

He did only say he has laid it up, not give up, he'll soon be getting it out again

 

[Wildbill]

Well that's it all draind all the coubord cleaned out all food removed from the it
All the soft furnishings up ended
Anty freez checked window whasers flushed and almost neat washer fluid through them mixed with distilled water
Tank brimmed with diesel
Battery's checked and soler hooked up to hab and starter
Off to the storage with it
Bill

 

[Wildbill]

That's it in storage for now there a big empty space outside the house now
If a van can look sad being left it certainly did
Stuck between two tugging vans
