Looking to take the plunge (1 Viewer)

[Stokielad]

Hi all,

I think my late mid life crisis will have a motorhome at its heart. Family of three but one daughter about to depart for University and son doing GCSE's so looking for a new way of getting around at weekends and the odd week to support my photography hobby. Also future family holidays and in the medium future grandkids (10 year's minimum I've told them ).
I towed a caravan for five years for half terms and summer holidays but to be honest not a fan of being crammed in alongside lots of other white boxes for just me. Caravan sites are great with families, not so much for peace and quiet in my experience .
No idea what I am looking for, but probably a budget of 25-30k. I did have a grand idea of dragging a little car everywhere but having found this excellent forum and read about the "challenges" that vehicle towing is legally and practically, that plan is already in the dustbin. I see a small motorbike attached to the MH in some way in my future now.
I have only been in 4 motorhomes and visited one dealer, it is very early days! So all advice happily received

I'd say hire one first, but if you're used to a caravan you'll have a good idea what to expect.

If it's landscape photography you like, a motorhome is the best accessory available imo. Being in the right area for dawn is great - then a coffee in the warm. The Missus and I love doing this (both togs), as will a well known landscape YouTube'r very soon (been giving a bit of help on this).

Welcome to the forum, well worth becoming a full member

Thank you, yes that is exactly what I envisage, I'm getting too old to sleep in the car at the bottom of the Old man of Storr on Skye (eight attempts at a dawn shot, zero success for actual sun ).
Its that flexibility I really like the idea of, but recognise I cant take the motorhome everywhere (little narrow lanes in the Lake district etc.) hence the desire to have some local transport as well.
