You can see us on the left that was taken in the Alps on a lovely sunny day.
After taking the photo we read a sign beware of flash flooding, needless to say we were up the hill quicker than we went down.
We lived in Ireland on the edge of Lough Gill until 4 weeks ago now we live in Kent. Next March we are off in our new MH to travel the continent on and off for the next 5 years or more.

Statistics Retired, Age 60. Hobbies:- travelling, cycling, wine, good food.

Hi!

Just got round to subscribing as there's such a huge pool of knowledge and experience here and we need all the help we can get!

Simon and Lucy, 28 and 30, web developer and retail manager (now on career break - yay!)

We've recently bought a Mercedes Sprinter racehome conversion which will soon become our home for the next 8 months or so - hopefully longer. We're heading to the Alps for the snowboarding season first - nothing like a baptism of fire! That will happen when the house is finally let and the gas heating works in the van.

Thanks for the help we've received so far.

And Happy Christmas to all

Clive and Janet Mott-Gotobed.
I am an Engineer and Janet a Nurse / Chip shop manager / HGV lorry driver / Bus driver / Carer etc. We are both supposed to be retired although I still act as a consultant for my old firm and fiddle about with a few words for the leisure industry and am a member of the Caravan Writers Guild. Janet has more success at retirement than me.
We have been motorhoming since 1972 with various vans including one home built coach conversion and two (VW and CF) based panel van home conversions.
I worked for over 40 years in the battery electric vehicle industry as a designer and project engineer, principaly on electrical control systems and drives which included producing 5 variants of battery powered cars. One was used to conver Miss World a few years back. Mostly industrial tractors and Fork Lift trucks though.

Favourite places - Many. New Forest without doubt is one, but also La Tamarissiere near Agde on the Med, Aguessac near Millhau and also Esperance in WA.

My biggest drawback is that I am an anti-social sod with an inflated ego.

Regarding the two Dave Burlees they are both imposters!!

Hi guys and gals. You all have too much money, I have none. Nevertheless I intend to convert a Merc 7.5 into the height of luxury for less than 5 grand. I expect I'll need some tips!
