Fear of the unknown - of uncertainty - is part of the human condition. The only way to conquer fear of the unknown is to make it known. :)

Nelly, before you spend lotsa $ on a caravan or motorhome, why not try a short trip in a rented one, or stay in cabins in caravan parks? Would give you a chance to assess whether you really want to leave hubby behind, and whether hes happy to let you go.

Thankyou to everyone for your replies. Gerty I have been travelling with sister and her hubby, brother and his wife but unfortunately they are unable to travel all the time - I am either the third or the fifth wheel depends who comes along lol. We go for 2/3 weeks at a time once a year at the moment but I am thinking a couple of months or maybe longer depends where I go. I have a slide-on at the moment but if I decided to do this I am thinking a motorhome/campervan would be more secure for me - just have to make that decision.

It's your life Nelly and yours alone, you've done your bit raising kids and being a wife, now it's a bit of "my time". If your husband don't want to travel that's his problem not yours. Get out and see our wonderful country while you can, solo or not.

Good luck whatever you do.. Be confident..
