Our
motorhome
is
our
place
in
the
country;
our
beach
hut
by
the
coast;
our
chalet
in
the
Alps;
a
seat
by
the
window
in
a
restaurant
with
the
best
possible
view
and
a
menu
that
we
love;
and
a
luxury
en
suite hotel room.
We
are
both
retired
and
enjoy
travelling
as
much
as
we
can.
Flying
is
not
our
favourite
pastime
and
airports
are
not
our
favourite
places.
It
all
seems
a
very
uncivilised way to travel.
We
enjoy
travelling
with
our
motorhome
throughout
the
UK
and
Europe.
We
first
started
motorhome
travel
in
November
2007
and
since
then
we
have
travelled
tens
of
thousands
of
miles
during
our
adventures.
These
have
ranged
from
the
north
coast
of
Scotland
to
the
Costa
Blanca
in
Spain
and
taken
in
most
of
UK
plus
France, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Italy.
We
still
have
many
places
to
visit
and
we
will
continue
to
provide
updates
on
this
website.
If
you
would
like
to
contact
us,
we
would
love
to
hear
from
you.

(below) a few photos of the inside.
At the front is the dining/sitting area, in the middle is the galley (sink and hob on one side and
fridge/freezer on the other). Moving rearwards, one side is shower room and on the other side are toilet
and wash basin. Beyond these are a wardrobe on each side and then the rear bedroom.

For the technical people:
The
chassis
is
Iveco,
7
tonnes
and
is
fitted
with
VB
air
suspension
both
front
and
back.
This
not
only
gives
a
very
comfortable drive but allows us to level up front to back when we arrive on site.
It is left hand drive and has a six speed automatic/manual gearbox, cruise control and differential lock.
We
weigh
in
at
just
under
6
tonnes
when
we
are
loaded
up
for
a
long
trip.
The
fuel
consumption
is
around
21
m.p.g. overall, which we are quite pleased with, in view of the weight.
We
have
fresh
water
and
waste
water
tanks
of
230
litres
each
and
drinking
water
is
drawn
through
a
filtration
system so that we do not need to go shopping for bottled water.
Heating
is
provided
by
an
ALDE
system
which
can
be
operated
either
on
mains
electricity
at
1kw,
2kw
or
3kw
or
on
LPG
at
5kw.
The
system
heats
the
hot
water
and
also
provides
central
heating
through
a
network
of
radiators
both
inside
the
motorhome
and
in
the
garage
and
lockers.
The
water
tanks
are
in
between
the
double
floor
which
is also a heated area so that nothing should freeze even in very low temperatures.
The
LPG
is
stored
in
two
11kg
tanks
and
these
are
refillable
from
the
LPG
pumps
in
many
garages
across
UK
and
Europe.
Accomodation
is
front
lounge,
kitchen
(with
double
sink,
fridge/freezer,
gas
oven,
3
ring
gas
hob)
shower,
washroom
/
toilet,
two
wardrobes
and
a
rear
bedroom.
We
have
twin
beds
in
the
rear
and
a
drop
down
double
bed
which
is
over
the
driving
seats.
At
the
rear
is
a
large
garage
which
provides
a
large
storage
area
for
bicycles,
ladders,
buckets
and
mops
and
all
the
camping
gear
like
tables,
chairs
and
we
also
carry
a
small
twin
tub
washing
machine and a crate for the beer!
On the roof is a dish which automatically finds the satellite TV signal wherever we may be in Europe.
