I`m finding it rather difficult to settle at home after a trip away.. .granted, there`s a bit o` gipsy blood in the family (mother`s side) but ome is rather unsettling lol!  Once a month is insufficient . . . . . What have I got into?

I have to agree with you. We returned yesterday after 8 nights away and it's depressing.

Don't know what it is about living in a small van compared to a big house, but I love the van more than home. Already looking for dates to go back again.

got to agree, i'd much rather be in the 'van than the house ,

the house is where we live but the 'van ,where ever we are is home, if money was no object and work wasn't a consideration ,give me  the tin tent  any time.

no tin tent outings booked as yet ,just another cruise in Sept' booked so far

We are more fortunate we have 10 weeks earlier and the another 6 weeks from Sept. and everytime we wished we just did a turn around and  went back out again.

We started married life in a caravan and would move right back into one tomorrow if we could. A life that felt as if we were on holiday all the time.

Now we are in for winter.17

I had a chuckle reading this.
I'm half Irish & my family always say there's a bit of gypsy in me & that I'm going to run off with them 1 day. I love caravanning & feel really glum within a week of us coming back from a trip away. We've just bought a hobby 650 for a seasonal pitch next yr & I can't wait to set it all up.

I dunno if I could do a seasonal; I`d up sticks and be off somewhere else, hopefully with the Great and Wonderful One still with me . . .

there is something about caravan life which seems so much more easy going,
we go to our seasonal every weekend/school holiday and we love it, its just a holiday every weekend for the kids,but if we miss a weekend or even a night we feel a little cheated.
some of our pals have now bought statics but for me its not the same, home from home would not be right with a young family,
the tourer makes it special for us because its not like being at home.
to be honest i would move in tomorrow and rent my house out!
