    CY sorry to hear your dilemma. Have you thought of getting someone to deliver and collect your van. There are some companies that do that. Alternatively use on site storage Although this reduces variety.

    Preliminary seasonal enquiries don't look very cost effective, so unless I win my battle with DVLA, it looks like the end of the road quite literally.

    Saw my consultsnt yesterday. My right eye he says looks OK (apart from having lost 67% pf the field of view Winking ). 

    Left eye should be OK hopefully. I didn't like the word 'hopefully'.

    Back again in April

    Write your comments here...I hope you can win, CY. Where there's a will, there's a way, as the saying goes!

    My OH has the same view of towing and motorways as ET's partner. Having had my licence revoked by DVLA a couple of weeks ago, the van is sitting on the driveway doing nothing. I have challenged their decision but am not optimistic. I've explored the possibility
    of a seasonal within a reasonable radius of home but it doesn't make economic sense so it looks like I might be giving up as well. As my van is older than most of yours, the depreciation hit won't be quite as bad.

    Write your comments here...So sorry to read that you have lost your license to drive. Hope you can find an alternative means to enjoy holidays. After many years of caravanning it is sometimes difficult to imagine life without a caravan, but I'm sure you
    will.

    Best of luck

    Regards Kennine

    They have just been in the news for getting it wrong and being too slow and intransigent in dealing with this problem. Hope they are forced to get real and all goes well for you.

    On my initial trip to hospital start of October 2013 following the loss of much of my sight in my right eye I was advised initially to contact DVLA. I looked at website and saw no need. When I saw a consultant a few weeks later I mentioned it. He said that
    whatever I did do not contact DVLA as I was fit to drive and I would be best advised to steer well clear. My site is deteriorating I know but I am tested every 6 months. So far OK.
