Hello, you all seem such nice, helpful, friendly people, generous with your time and advice to newbies, witty too!

I will retire next March and I'm planning to buy myself a motorhome. I'm a bit of a nomad already, and hope to 'full-time tour' most of the year at least. I've owned tents and camper vans in the past so know I'll enjoy the lifestyle.

I won't be able to do much more than check the oil and water myself but I'm hoping if I choose my van wisely and get it properly regularly serviced I shouldn't have too many problems!??

I would like to thank you all for the wealth of motorhome knowledge and inspiration you have already unknowing given me by my reading this forum, from the difference between grey and black water to ...always smell for damp when viewing a van. It's very reassuring to know I have someone to go to for advice.

Thanks again I look forward to meeting or waving at some of you in the future.

Certainly, come in, and welcome to you Kathleen. :)

Happy searching on here for the info you need, helping you to source the right MH. The layout is possibly the most important factor in the search, as that can either make, or break the dream. Getting it wrong can also be horrendously expensive. :(

Good luck. (y)

Jock. :)

Not quite got my eyes focused yet. I read that as “choose my man wisely” :giggler::giggler:

Was gonna say there are some good ones about on Fun...even as friends.

Welcome to Fun.

Welcome Kathleen. It is a bit of a mad house on here at times, but there are loads of friendly helpful people on this forum. I have met some great folks who I now consider to be true friends. When you are looking to buy your MH do check out the classifieds on here - there are some lovely MH's listed at times.

Enjoy the forum and good luck with your new adventure.
