layout makes a huge difference to your experience of living in a coinfined space ( as does weather!)
I'd look here, or similar and hire a few before diving in, theyre a big investment.

one thing I hate is having to build a bloody bed every evening . . . .

Seriously jealous lovely view and Moterhome, we have our dreams of a motor home but they seem a long way off at the moment!I have. I’m hoping campsites start to open in July but I imagine the showers/toilets etc will be out of bounds so best if your van is self contained.
I bought mine back from storage and stuck it in the garden so that we can at least pretend to be on holiday.

Chauson 718+ on a Ford engine, really pleased with it, just not been able to use!! In the scheme of things we have our health so should be grateful for that.

Thinking of buying a day van/camper, something Transit-size. Doesn't seem to be a lot about ATM

Lovely view, but ruined by that massive square white eyesore.

In a similar vein [buy a mobile home], I've had thoughts of buying a narrow boat for some early retirement leisure on the inland waterways.
I know Sussex is a bit short on canals [but plenty in my neck of the woods] so has anyone else looked into this or even bought one [inc time share].
Would be interested to hear experiences ....

Took my daughter for a walk along the Grand Union this morning and had good catch ups with two couples who had done just that.
One young couple bought an old tub and are re-doing from hull up - sunk about £20k so far and reckon they’ve got another £20k to go. Taken them six months to date and have been living on it through lockdown.
The other couple were more seasoned but we didn’t get to talking numbers. I showed a passing interest just out of the excitement of interacting with other human beings in 3D!
My dad - based in Evesham - looked to get one built there as a possible rehoming solution and was quoted £70-80k by the company there. [MENTION=3125]Shropshire Seagull[/MENTION] I can ask him the name if you’d like? Might be close enough for you to take a drive out and see?

You should have a trip to Europe now, before it becomes complicated by driver and vehicle licensing paperwork, immigration controls, and Duty Free instead of Free Trade... mind you, you might get another two year honeymoon from the EU, its on the table but Boris can't touch the offer with a barge pole !

Is this picture near Mostyn ?
Yep. Mostyn is just to the right. Do you know the area?

I have family who live on the Welsh border in Shropshire, and being a keen fisherman, Mostyn is a place I know well.
I have fished there on many occasions.

Was planning on the former Jugoslavian countries plus Albania and home through Italy. Great trip to Bulgaria and Romania last Autumn. Japanese Ambulance we’ve had custom converted.
Wait to see for the next trip but not too far as wouldn’t want to get caught in a lockdown.

I didn’t know people fished there. The docks are mostly used for launching windmills these days!
