Are you ready for a long read? First of all, 'motor-homing' is an alien world to me, it's something we've, (me & wife), have talked about for a long time but never got around to doing anything about it. We finally took the plunge in May 2024, but not too deep a plunge. We didn't want to go over the top with the price when…
Catherine and I have been very lucky: we've lived our dream of retiring at 60; buying a motorhome, and travelling around Europe. Things worked out for us! We downsized by selling our family home and then buying our daughter's smaller home when she and her husband moved to France. For several years, Catherine had been…
For the first time in 5 years, since Brexit and Covid, we travelled to our favorite destination, the UK ( we live in the Netherlands). We always travell with our two dogs and normally we had to pay £38,00 for each dogs just to leave them behind in our car. This time we sailed with Irish Ferries ( Calais-Dover-Calais). What…
Since Day 1 - April 2017 of the Great Adventure - it has been just that. A magical drive into the future - AKA retirement, with our brand spanking new MOHO. He's not the biggest at 7.4m, or prettiest, but we've called him Beastie. A name he's lived up to since the moment I wedged the side of his fat belly against our…

There wasn’t much clear guidance on what I was looking for, so I figured I'd share my…

Minutes later the same vehicle overtook me and seemed to indicate something to…
We visited the Brora site in September found it a fantastic. Location on our journey to John O’Groats to complete my bucket list of NESW locations. Ian, who greeted us noticed a pipe hanging underneath our motorhome. Without any question, he was underneath the van and made a temporary repair. I was especially grateful as I…
So, what do you do when you buy a new motorhome; you immediately set off on a 2,300-mile trip through France, Switzerland and Italy! We divided our route into ‘transit’ stops and longer stays. Day 1 – 2: We left Burnham-on-Crouch at 3am and managed to catch an early ferry into Calais arriving around 9.30am (French time). ·…
