Hello from Phil and Ann + Leo (the dog)

Hi, I hope we are welcome here - we don't have a caravan!, just an old, but new to us, motorhome (Ford transit based AutoSleeper Duetto). Mostly because I just HATE the thought of driving down narrow country lanes and not being able to back up for a couple of hundred yards when necessary....... we just love exploring with our dog Leo, so want to be fully mobile, and not constrained.
As a keen DIYer and professional engineer, I hope I may have some words of wisdom to help those in need of technical advice and practical help; I am already involved in checking through our camper's old systems and trying to upgrade / improve or just renew as and where necessary.
Just like many campers it is v low mileage for its age, it seems that many come to caravanning / motorhomes later in life and with ideas of spending lots of time away from home, but the realities of grandchildren and worsening health prevent this from happening in actuality, I do hope that's not us too.
I hope and expect we'll meet up with some of you in far flung locations around the country and Europe, but have no idea how we'll recognise other members...https://www.practicalcaravan.com/media/kunena/emoticons/unsure.png
Byeeee for now, Phil B) B)

Welcome to the forum Phil. Good luck with the camper conversion work. If you find a way to reconcile freedom to roam and grandchildren please start a thread. I retired in 2000 and haven’t quite closed that circle in all that time. But hope springs eternal as they say. :)

Hi Phil. At risk of getting drummed off the forum by Parksy, can I suggest that as well as this lovely & helpful forum (grovel, grovel!) you have a look at the Small Motorhomes and friends forum.
The two forums complement each other well.

Hi There PaAF,

There are a lot of common issues and pieces of equipment shared between Caravans and Motorhomes, so I for one welcome motorhomer's to the this forum.

Like Emmerson, I do suggest that as well as ours, you also look at other forums that are more specific to motorhomes.
