We had always caravanned and have only had our motorhome several months. I am convinced that it is better than all of them jacks, aqua rolls, wheel locks, awnings, storage etc.. My wife thinks Im getting lazy! Are any of you ex-caravanners and fully converted. The only thing we miss is the room of a large twin axle and not having pots and pots of money fo a new motorhome.
My caravaning friends are not convinced and seem to knock it - saying there is too much packing away everytime you want to go anywhere.
What packing away? - the kettle? our TV doesnt even move.
all the best

Crikey, you do ask a million dollar question !!!
I too have owned a caravan so hopefully qualified to share a viewpoint.
I live in my motorhome full time, I made this decision on several factors but not least I knew I would be in France for at least 6 months and I was aware of aires etc.
If I were to return to France I know through contacts I have made it would be the Dordogne.
This actuallly to me at least means I could sell the motorhome and buy a caravan so that I have a car for mobility ( no need to be a good boy clean and batten down the hatches on a daily basis when I want to move on )
For me a caravan would be more practical, but I guess I dont pidgeonhole into the stereotype owner profile of a motorhome.
Moreover liquidate cash. I dont think I would be startling anyone you can buy a well equpped caravan for a fraction of the investment required in a motorhome.
I guess my agenda is different to most.
Caravan v motorhome on pure recreational basis ...pay your money take your choice each has its drawbacks and advantages.
I am just grateful that for the last 12 months I have been able to discover and meet new people.
If I dropped dead last night ( cant happen !!) then I know feel I have done something with my life and my motorhome has been a part of that.
So if it is decided I dont awake in th emornig ,,,a few moans but no complaints
