Hi Deryck and Sandra here. We have been fulltiming for 4 years with our elderly boxer called Ella and two cats named Poppy and Quincey (16&17 years. We are a geriatric crew! We began our new life in a twin wheeled caravan plus 4x4. Decided after a year that motorhomes looked a far easier option. After two Auto-trails we now have a Burstner 821i Elegance - which is a dream. WILL NOT TRADE THIS IN (the other half has stipulated!!!!).

We spent Christmas in Spain (Kiko Park, Oliva) Hello Graham and Sandy, hope all is well with you. A great place.

Need some info. Does anyone know where we can get hold of a pair of real sheepskin cab seat covers. Would appreciate feedback please.[B]

Hello to the both of you & welcome to MHF. I'm sure campers are easier than caravans, it always takes us far less time to set up on site than a tugger!

As for your seat covers, try one of these

Hi there

We are planning to go FT next july and you are the first person we have found who is doing so with cats.

Do you have any tips.

The main concern is that ours may wander off and not come home.

Thanks

Alfa-Scud. Thanks for info. See what you mean about price! will think on that one or rustle a few sheep.

AJPITFC. Re cats a wandering. We were on tenderhooks at first. Quincey, a ginger tom, was the wanderer but they are always sitting by the door in the morning waiting for brekkie. They now only go out at about midnight. When they did go out during the day we spied Poppy looking at us from the window of the caravan next door so we thought maybe it was best they only went out at night

When in Spain we do not let them out because of feral cats and they seem to accept this (after a time!). They are too old to become used to a lead. On our travels we've seen Minks, rabbits and cats on leads. Plus parrots and tortoises in cages. Hope this puts your mind at rest. It took us a couple of years of deliberation but life is too short to ponder for long so we took the bull by the horns and went ahead. Go for it!

Thanks for all wlecome messages received.
