We've stuck to the UK so far, normally a fortnight during the school holidays and a few weeks during half terms, with the odd local-ish weekend thrown in when we can. To be honest we're more than pleased with the van and have had no problems with him (he's called Bill by the kids, and the car is Doris but that's a whole story on it's own). We did fit a mover after a visit to a hilly site in Norfolk of all places (I thought East Anglia was flat) and it has to be the best accessory ever, I don't even bother trying to move the van by hand at home any more.

Have thought about going to France but the Mrs isn't keen on towing abroad, not that she tows anyway. And ther are still loads of places in the UK to visit so why bother.

You should try Europe really my husband finds it much easier over there not so busy and wonderful roads especially in Germany and Austria. Welcome to the site we are a very friendly bunch.
