coming up 70 in nov.

have camped and caravanned since the swinging sixties. first under canvas (best beds in tents) had 4 tourers intil 1992 then went static for ten years and when fully retired got the wanderlust and tried hotels for a couple of years (found standards had not been maintained but costs had spiralled) went back to touring and am enjoying being reborn (with a mover to assist where athritis prevents pushing etc.) I have had 10 weeks away this year and now also feel I am getting value for my investment. have a safe and happy vanning life.

Great stuff Shiraz,

Everything you have done applies to me except the mover and I'm only a baby at 67 LOL

My wife and I are both 50 this year and started caravanning when our eldest daughter was just a toddler and is now 17 we started with a 1973 Robin(very very basic) followed by a 1978 piper a 1984 ABI Supreme(leaked like a sieve) a new 1995 Coachman Genius 440/5 a new Coachman Amara 500/5 (1999) and a new 2003 Coachman Amara 520/4 (we like Coachman vans!)we still manage to persuade our daughters to come away in the van with us especially where a mobile phone signal is guaranteed and they can happily text away to the friends they "leave behind " we usually take the van to france each year for a couple of weeks and notice how popular this is becoming especially with younger caravanners. No way do i fit into the pipe and slippers bracket as one of my other hobbies is playing bass guitar in a seventies/eighties covers rock band!
