Happy, we're off tomorrow in our lovely caravan. We're going to our favourite site in Ripley. We're spending the weekend exhibiting at Harrogate Show so will meet all our old friends an have a natter and catch up. Really looking forward to it.

Sad. it's our last trip in our lovely Avondale Sandmartin before we put her up for sale. No more mornings lying snuggled up in bed with a nice cup of tea, listening to the rain outside and being so grateful we don't have to walk across to the loos getting soaked.

and the question is why?

why get rid of one of lifes pleasures. or are you getting a new dream to wake up in.

cheers alan.

my mum and me jointly own the van. she has moved to the lakes along with the tow car and we just aren't getting the use now to justify the storage fees. She did offer me the chance to buy her out but by money is quite tight for us. By the time I paid something towards the van each month and paid the storage fees I wouldn't have anything left to take her away which defeats the purpose of having a van. So we have decided after this trip we are going to sell her and I'm going to buy a tent and some camping gear which I can store at home instead.

I'll be very sad to see her go but it's the right decision for us.

Aw thats a shame but if you wouldn't be able to use her then as you say whats the point!  Get yourself a tent with a little side porch like a Montana 6 and put your portaloo in there - then at least you still won't have to trek across a field for the loo at night.
