Hi there
We decided to hire a motorhome for a trial run, to see if we liked it before going the whole hog, and buying one. We pick it up next Thursday......,however, it seems like fun, so we've bought one anyway,0without doing the trial run first! We pick our own one up on the 10th October.

:welcome3: Hi mick - sounds like you've got a plan there. Are you still going ahead with the hire? I know they're not cheap to rent. What sort are you buying?

In any case, not too long to wait until 10 October, and then the real adventure begins. :)

Happy and safe travels. (y)

We are still going ahead with the rental, because we can't have our own for about 3 weeks, and it's too late now to cancel. We'd lose all the money we've paid ( which is about £800 ), but it seems a bit of a waste now. We should have just bought one in the first place.

Hi welcome to Fun where are you planning to go in the hired van ?
Calling off at a pub in Gloucester on the way down to Southampton. Staying for the boat show, and then maybe trekking round for the rest of the week,
