Oh my dear lilyjoy, what a difficult decision which is made all the more painful for you with the emotional attachment to your late mum.  However, you obviously now need to change from your beloved Elldis so that you can still enjoy your "freedom to roam" and have the benefit of the extra room to move with your sticks for the time being.  Wishing you a speedy recovery and many years of happy holidays in your new van and, I am sure, your existing van will be loved by a new family very shortly.

Jenny

Went to look at a Sterling Elite Wayfarer yesterday.Really liked it.It's got everything we need and at the right price.Got the job of emptying my baby now.It's very sad.Kind of took the shine off the new van.Silly I know.Does any body else get emotionally attatched to their vans?The new one will be great and we will be able to use CL type sites and do some rallies because of having a better shower room.But it's still upsetting me

Just try to think of the positives of your new van, its very hard to let go if its something you really love especailly with the emotional attachment.

Once your old van has been sold you will feel much better.

Good luck

We was attached to our Cristall, it was our first van and I fitted so much stuff to it, it became my own. However, the new van will also be great fun and more memories too. When I took my Cristall in I had a lump in my throat, but the excitement of a new one takes the sting off.

Memories remain, and they wont go regardless of the new van.

Best of luck.
