We have bought the motor home !!! smilebiggrinsmile,

its now only 4 months and sixteen days until we start the adventure, we have purchased an ex Maui rental, lots of klm but we are happy with it and we feel it will do the job for Us.

we don't really know why but on the way home from picking her up she was christened "Penny"

We are busy at the moment trying to find a home for everything, then we take it all out put half in storage and try again. A few days ago we thought we needed a bigger MH, yesterday it was just about right, but today after even more culling we have room to spare.

We will do the first shake down trip fairly local for a few days next week, and hope to get a few more in between now and when we leave.

We are committed to doing the kinda and school run until the youngest grandy starts school next year. There is a lot of learning to do between now and then, wish us luck.

let "Penny's"  adventures begin!

Congratulations on the purchase of Penny, and the excitement of getting her prepared for the shakedown trips. I'll be going on mine soon, too, before the Big One. Isn't it fun? Just like being a kid again.

Congratulations on your purchase. Loved the bit about it being too small, just right, too big. We're experiencing the same but seem to be stuck in the van too small mode.
