Greetings all,

Hi from the West coast of Scotland.

Been lurking for a while but thought I'd pay up and start to contribute, question and/or pester.

I've trawled my way through this entire website and found all the hints, tips, ideas, advice and opinions very valuable. So a grand, "HUSSAR"! and thanks to all and sundry.

I'll just dive right in...

I've just turned fifty and have decided to treat myself to a motorhome for my birthday. This momentous decision was brought about in the summer when I was touring Ireland on my motorbike and camping, as I had been advised and encouraged to do; it was a good idea at the time.

Every night for a week, after a hard days riding, I'd arrive at a site and have to erect a tent. Whilst doing so I keenly observed the folks around me in nice vans sitting out, quaffing a nice cool chardonnay and generally having a whale of a time and the occasional snigger (can we still use that word?) at my expense as I wrestled with my non-compliant tent in a fresh Irish breeze; needless to say I didn't really see the amusing side of it at the time.

During my long contemplative, Zen-like rides through the sublime Ireland it slowly started to dawned on me, much like what's-his-name when he walked to Damascus, perhaps instead of a tent, the cold and a sore back I could do the Motorhome thing?

This revelation coalesced into a EUREKA! moment whilst stopped for a sly smoke - don't tell the wife-"I SHOULD BUY ME ONE OF THOSE HOOS-WI-WHEEL-THINGIES!"

And there you have it. Straight out of the blue. I proposed it to SWMBO a few months ago after plying her with babycham and as the youngsters say, she was well up for it! Go figure as the yanks say...

So, I have made a purchase but I won't give you the big reveal yet, I'll keep you on tenter hooks for the time being. If your really interested I will be posting in the general discussion area with a wee problem I have concerning the whole affair...hooked you now. ain't I ?!
