Old Age After Full Timing

7.5t is just a van, as for lanes, try 41t in the back streets of Marrakech

I'd rather not to be honest Kev.

But the flatbed 7.5 tonnes with sleeper cabs were considerably bigger than my Sprinter flatbed and definitely would not have got to some of the drops I had to make. It doesn't matter where in the world you are or what vehicle you are in, if it won't fit it simply won't fit!

I even failed to get to a drop in Surrey because the lane the house was on was narrower than the vehicle and the overhanging branches were lower than the vehicle. In fact, some parts of Surrey have lanes worse than Cornwall!

Is the general rule of thumb "if there are bus stops or bin lorries, you will generally be ok"?

Not heard that one David but it sounds right.

Unfortunately when delivering you don't get a choice of destination.

Side streets were a PITA too with parked cars on either side.

PMSL! Thats just insane!! In a motorhome!!

Hats off though. Would love to do that on the scoot. I wonder what would have happened had you met a French person coming the other way. They dont have reverse apparently.

With a bit of luck you would meet an Italian coming the other way.

He's online so could comment.

But considering you're a bunch old flatulent peeps, if it stayed on Topic it'd be a miracle.

So, get piste up for going off piste?

I've not decided anything yet, because current circumstances don't allow me to go full time anyway, and hopefully ending it will be some years off yet, possibly when the last of my dogs has passed away.

But I do like the idea of buying a cheap static to end my days in, assuming I can find a site that doesn't force upgrades. If not I suspect it'll be a bedsit somewhere.

Road goes all the way to the forts at the top.
Plenty of places to stop up there, and easily got to from Italian side.

You'll put Trev off his avocado smoothie saying that.

North Shropshire, between Shrewsbury and Stoke.

I only asked as I have a friend with a site up here near Bradford, it's only 11 months but blind eyes have been known to be turned, I lived up there twice, I spoke to her only today as it's the first day of the 24 season.
