To be honest, I have yet to understand the pleasure in a whole bunch of MH's meeting up to compare vans at some showground or other. Surely it's about going to see stuff that you have not seen before, experiencing different lifestyles, meeting people and sharing stories of adventures.

And before somebody comes down on me hard, It happens and I totally respect those of you that want to do it.

I just dont understand it.

Is the philosophy of motorhoming bigger than I thought?

Motorhoming can be a lonely existence if you want it to, Oldskool.

But lots of people are a bit more gregarious than you, that's all. It's one of those things that, if you have to explain, you wouldn't understand anyway Very Happy
It's a bit like my love of motorcycling. Most people think I'm daft.
Well, they think I'm daft anyway!!! Laughing

Hi Oldskool.

I notice a contradiction in your opening paragraph. I suspect a tongue in cheek.

One of my problems is that my legs will not allow me to walk endlessly round and round a show ground - so I like to stop and have a natter every now and then.

Also the stands tend to shut down early and one has to find a way of passing the evening - a pint or glass of wine (or two) - purely to pass the time !!

We leave for France and Spain on 10th and may even make a start on the 9th and stay overnight somewhere to save the long journey on the Sat (to the tunnel) as my frozen shoulder plays up a bit Sad

Have a GREAT get together, wish we could be there. Will be going to the January Shepton Mallet show Smile

Hi Rita,

Have a great trip, we'll meet sometime.

I have just driven from here to Deal (8 miles past Dover) and back in my car and I am surprised that with the price of diesel these days that you can make a saving still and taking into account the extra time as well rather than the Roscoff. None of my business, of course.

good luck,

Looking forward to meeting some of you today (10th Saturday). My partner Beverley and I are trying to sell our house and hope to nip over to Florida when we do to buy a beautiful RV that is over there waiting for us. We hope to travel with our two young children (we homeschool) and give them and ourselves a wonderful new life.
Today we want to have a good look inside some of the RVs to see where we can stash the kids. Laughing I love the idea of this community through the website and beyond of course.
Any advice will always be welcome. Cya later on I hope. If you want to avoid us, I'll be the one shouting after my son.... I should have called him Alvin!!!
