Sold caravan and bought camper van cool

She is a classic VW25 called Martha and I am in love with her! Power steering, new awning, bike rack and storage in every nook and cranny! 60k miles on the clock and after my VW specialist garage man checked her over and tuned her up etc, reckons I bought a 'good one there'.

She is so much more me than the caravan and much more manageable - my friends reckon that all that's missing is the surf board on the roof laughing. Now I can think seriously about the N500 in Scotland!

BTW caravan was rehomed to a lovely couple.

Absolutely AGM.  Ruth and Wayne like to 'wild camp' in their campervan where they can and thoroughly enjoy it.  On the other hand, I enjoy all the mod cons.  The important thing is that, whatever 'route you take', you enjoy what you do.  We started as tenters in a small ridge tent we didn't even have a table or chairs, let alone EHU.  I think we all change over time (and get older), but still can't see me going down the Motorhome route.  At present, it just doesn't seem to suit what we do.
