Yeah Brian, we want to move don’t want to sell the van really but it does facilitate the move unfortunately

 

[CazPaul]

Beautiful van good luck with the sale.

 

[Roger S]

Thats a great shame, best of luck with the house.

 

[Grianan]

What a shame! Good luck with both sales …

 

[Holly's mum]

Sorry to hear that you need to sell the van to facilitate the house move. Hope you can get back to motorhoming before too long.

Good luck with both sales and finding a new home.

I’ll still have them pads off Paul though

 

[Flairy]

you’ll both be missed we were hoping to see you in Germany good luck anyway

 

[Lenny HB]

Flipping heck Adi after all the money you spent on it. You were still getting things done to it a few weeks ago.

I've just checked the date it's not April 1st..

If we were to move house 1st priority would be Motorhome parking, no way would we get rid of the van.

 

[Andy Norfolk]

We put ours in storage whilst we sold and looked for a new home. Cheaper than the loss on a sale. Just a thought. Then spent £15k on a second drive to accommodate it at our new house . Mad I know.

 

[scousebird]

Good luck with the move, shame you've got to sell the MH though.

First priority, depending on age to retirement etc, would be to downsize the house, I suppose location in the country with house prices comes into it.

There’s someone at work his wife insists they move again, that’s about 5 since I’ve known him(20 years) each time it’s to a more expensive one, a new car every 3 years, all to keep up with jones, they’re both in their late 50s no children.
Who you going to leave it to I always ask him.
Answer is. “ we’re not sure just enjoying life” so if they’re enjoying doing it that’s fine he’s right about enjoying life.

Sometimes life gets in the way ☹
Good luck with both your sales

We've all got different priorities but if we didn't have kids I wouldn't be at work in my late 50s I'd be retired!

 

[Oscar]

Sorry to hear that you're selling your lovely motorhome Ady & Val , hopefully you won't be moho-less for long

Good luck with both sales - whoever buys your motorhome will be getting a well sorted van.

Hope you won't be a stranger on Motorhome fun

Unfortunately I’ve made some daft decisions earlier on in life and still paying the price

 

[Peavy]

Priorities are different to each one of us.
Good luck with this new phase.

 

[Two on Tour]

If you genuinely need them Adi, then I'll still keep them aside for you, but if your just doing the honourable thing, then stuff that, as I can always find another mug person to buy them.

Like others, I'm a bit bewildered with you flogging your van, but no doubt you have thought it through (have you ?) before coming to your decision and no doubt thing that are none of our business are behind it as it probably hurts to move your van on.

 

[The Wino]

I really meant the person in CazPaul post. We all have different priorities but moving house every few years to a bigger one and new cars probably equal a fair few years at work extra compared to not spending as much. I remember years ago we decided to change to shopping at Aldi and cutting other spending to retire earlier and sold our business when I was 56. I don't think on my death bed I'm going to wish I spent more years at work! I think lots of others took similar decisions at the time of COVID

Been there done that.!

Blooming good riddance I say, bah humbug.













But you’ll be missed. Hoping you’re still going to monitor Fun on your journey and pinkies crossed for swift sale and a hassle free move

 

[Jim]

Hi guys,

Let's hope you're in a van and back with us soon. Once settled in the new house, "Don't forget your dreams" and start looking for a Woosh-bang. It's all you need for proper motorhome adventures.

 

[Lenny HB]

Have you seen the junk he carries, makes me look like a mere amateur.

 

[Puddleduck]

Yeah Brian, we want to move don’t want to sell the van really but it does facilitate the move unfortunately

Could you put it into store in the meantime? We made a massive mistake selling our Hymer to facilitate a house move....... wish we had known more back then.
