Well, we took the plunge yesterday and put a deposit on a motor-home after a test drive and close inspection. It is a 2001 Hobby 650 FSe, 2.8 tdi, lovely condition and drives very nicely. Fixed bed in the rear and separate bathroom/shower. 6.9m long, 2.3m wide, 2.85m high. Satellite TV, bike rack, solar panel etc. We will pick it up in two weeks time after it has been serviced and checked over, with new registration & MOT (WOF). Next job is to fit it out with crockery, cutlery, kitchen small appliances, pots & pans, bedding, etc.

We’re aiming to head off to Europe mid-June, so the timing should be about right.
