    How long in time or distance is your tow per day?

    We are getting on a bit with medical restrictions. The most we do in a day in the UK or Europe is 200 miles which is 4 hours.. But then again the travelling is part of the holiday.

    Still awaiting my 2021 Elddis

    Still awaiting my 2021 Elddis

    To be honest I am not really expecting to get it before next year. I am just hoping that it comes before May as I am going to France then and hoping to go in the new Van. Hopefully we will both have our dreams come true and get our vans sooner rather than later. Les
