Reading through all this thread, makes me wonder should I subscribe. Well here goes. I have just celebrated the 46th anniversary of my 21st, the war departments on her 42nd of her 21st. We don't look or feel that old,its just the aching bones at the end of a day that give the game away.
We started motor homing in 2004, starting with a Arto, then upgrading to a Flair, its the dogs fault she complained the Arto was to cramped on long trips.
We try to keep our trips outside the school holidays, just going where the wind blows. We have covered todate in the region of 28K miles throughout northern Europe, our only into southern Europe was down to Salerno & Pissa.
Kind regards to all
Me 67, HWMBO is 63. We camped for donkey's years then after a very wet weekend at Aberfoyle we ditched the frame tent in a heap on the site by arrangement with the site manager. There was no way I was dragging it soggily home then ditching it in Hampshire. We always have Hashing events to attend and needed something to crash in and a pal said borrow Lilac. I went to visit her in his garage.
She was lilac painted (emulsion I might add) 72 VW Devon bay and didn't have an MOT. She had a gallon of juice and started, the wipers didn't work but we only going to near Ventnor IOW so I winged it. Funny - in the bowels of Red Funnel at Soton when I started her up, a huge blowing roar, everyone ducked. She did the job and I told the kids we were buying a campervan, They thought it was big white box, but we found an imaculate 73 VW Westy Bay. "Dad, what are you on?" were my daughter's words if I remember.
Had a van at 22, please note I said a van, not a MH, fitted carpet on floor, walls, and roof (inside) a fitted mattress, and not a lot else, gold in colour, and in 1967 there were not a lot gold vans about, for some unkown reason my friends called it the "goldfinger passion wagon" and boy I had lots of fun with this van in and around Pembroke and Tenby area, and from the day I sold that van have wanted a MH, used a tent off and on for 10 years, then bought a folding camper in 1998, did around 25000 miles in that, then retired in 2002 and bought the Riviera MH in 2003 and covered almost 30000 miles in it so far,
