First time motorhomers
Discussion
And loving it.
We unfortunately lost my mum at the beginning of the year, with some of her inheritance we decided to buy a little motorhome. That's when the fun began.
I was thinking VW or similar, rock n roll bed etc, SWMBO then gave the list, full height when cooking etc, full cooking facilities, loo and a shower! Oh and must fit on our driveway (having previously had a small boat the costs on the Thames were silly to store)
So my idea went to the wall, we set ourselves a budget (very low by PH standards) and began searching. Found a few things we liked and went to a few dealers and shows to check out layouts etc.
In the end we ended up with a 1999 VW T4 Compass Calypso and we love it, 2 berth, all the 'bits' for her and very spacious inside.
Picked it up at the beginning of August, initially went for a few overnighters using BritStops before going away for a weeks touring up the east coast to Whitby at the end of August.
Lots of adventures since and looking forward to loads more in Little Ol', named in tribute to my mum.
