Dave, you have my profound sympathy. In 1987, we bought a brand new caravan and had three years of wonderful holidays with our four children. Then, at the end of 1989, my husband was made redundant, for the third time in nine years, and as you may recall, at that time, it could take a very long time to find another job. In his case it took nine months. We hung on to the caravan as long as we could, but in the end we had no alternative but to sell it.
Because by then we were reluctant to give up our getaways all together, we bought a cheap second-hand trailer tent and over the next seven years, went all over Europe and the UK with that, despite the protest of our children that - horror of horrors! it was orange!. Eventually, in 1997, we began to feel a little more confident about our finances and bought a second-hand caravan. This has since been replaced by a newer, but still secondhand caravan. The level of enjoyment we have had from our holidays has not really been affected by the outfit we were using at the time - it has always been fun!
I can understand that you may feel bitter about possibly losing the things you have worked so hard for - I certainly did. But, my point is, it is still possible to get a lot of pleasure from our hobby without the very latest equipment. If you have to downshift a little, or even a lot, it is a shame, but don't let it stop you enjoying yourself.
I sincerely hope something good comes along for you soon. I know the misery caused by redundancy all to well, and I would not wish it upon anyone.
