Newbie Solo Camper

Have a browse of the "Solos" section further down the page. You are not alone.

Hi Quesada 2 and welcome to Club Together.  There are lots of solo members so don't feel alone.  

There seems to be several "solos"on site where we are this easter,and those I have noted seem happy ,and only one is in a coachbuilt motor caravan one has a small caravan the other two noted are in PVCs

Go for it Girl, and enjoy the rest of your life doing whatever/whenever you like. Good luck.

Go for it. We have met several solo caravanners on our travels and the ladies usualy have a dog or two. Initially use club sites as help is always available but think about joining a centre. Our centre has at least 4 solo members and one very regular visitor. I wouldn't recommend a tourer as some jobs require considerable strength,  based on my wife's comments. There are also a couple of clubs for solo campers. 

Went to a historic re-enactment today and talking to one mature lady she told us about New Companions camping club. Sounded ideal for you. She is a motorhomer with a Whippet.

Friends of ours belong to that group and are often at rallies.

We had the pleasure of meeting a lady last week at Moreton in Marsh, she retired last year. Purchased a Bailey Motor Home, rented her house out and hit the road in September. She has been touring the UK since then with her two dogs.

Go for it 

1. am on my own ,my wife passed away last year  Have started touring again,it's different but doable ,people seem happy to help if you have a problem.  

Hope your 'try before you buy' goes well.  As you say you are 'a female in the autumn of her life' could be an idea to ensure you have satisfactory breakdown cover for all 3 (campervan, dog and yourself) just in case you need this type of help.  Good luck.
