We recently returned home from a two week break at the Poppyfields touring park near Cromer, (highly recommended) and after the 7 hour journey, Mrs W and I decided that we would, after many happy years touring, sell the van.
We realised that because we had a cruise booked later this year, as well as two months away in Oz and NZ in the new year, it would be 7 months before we used it again.
There were other reasons, the main one being that we had to store the van away from home, and Mrs W hated loading the car to the gunnels every time we went away.
The expense was another, apart from the depreciation on the van we figured it was costing £600 a year, for storage, insurance, and servicing, and that's before any nights away.
I will miss it, but hopefully will now be able to take advantage of the many short breaks available on Groupon and the like.
Will also miss the banter on this forum, even tho' it's gone downhill a bit, will also miss winding Yappy and FandG up, (both now banned from the forum).
I have a month or so of my subscription left but after that it will be bye bye.
PS van sold, lock stock and barrels in less than a week.
on a serious not I hope it goes well for you CY good luck
