From caravan to motorhome

This story happened on: 11/05/2013

we started with the caravan club years ago with a  trailor tent,but found it a bit small for 2 dogs and 2young boys.so took the plunge and bought an old crown 4berth caravan.after a few years gradually upgraded to a twin axle abbey spectrum which we had some good summer holidays in.the boys became older and no longer wanted to join us,so we went back to a 2 berth vanroyce caravan.but after losing our pet dog we decided to jack caravaning in,so sold ours last year.to our surprise we missed getting away for the weekends so decided on a motorhome.we have just purchased a mitsubishi pioneer 4berth,celebrates its 30 birthday in June.yep it's an old classic but been out once to ferry meadows and were surprised how quick it is to set up.yep we loved our caravans,but were surprised how we love motor homing now.

Nearly the same beginnings for us, from camping to campervans to caravans and now have a motorhome.  We were surprised how much we love our motorhome too and thoroughly enjoy it.   We have changed vans over the last couple of years we now have the perfect van for us and our dogs.  Can't get away enough in it!!!  happy motorhoming!!

We started with a Fiat Amigo twenty odd years ago. A two adults and two old English sheepdogs.  Had a break from touring.Started fostering  twentyfive years ago.so went back to touring with a caravan, five vans and fifteen years later we now own an autotrail apache 600. Just the two of us again its like being reborn the ease of pitching up and then moving on. We thought we were free with a caravan but motorhome so much easier.
