We collected our campervan this morning - back from Brownhills with the leaking roof light replaced. This is the first time in over a year that we own a fully functional motorhome with no repairs needed.
We are going to go somewhere for a few days at the weekend to celebrate, ahead of going to Malvern Hills on Wednesday to meet up with Alice the Camel

Good news, Gimme
Paid for mine today, also insured it (Comfort, thanks for the recommendations )
The driveway extension is finished so I can now park it even though eldest has returned home with his car
Collecting on Friday - now I just have to learn to drive it!

Rosehip
I have just spent the last hour going through all my camping stuff to see what will be useful in the van working out what else we will ‘need’
The second list is getting quite long and could get expensive
Also wishing I was away somewhere quiet and solo in the 🏕, wonder if I’ll do that again?

Have a couple of short trips to see what you *need*, Rosehip, then a longer trip to see what else would be helpful. It’s easy to buy things you don’t end up using.

No reason you can’t still go away with a tent from time to time if you want to, although you might find that urge diminishes when you get used to the extra little luxuries

I agree with GM. We transferred from family tent (kitchen, gas double-hob stove, big gas bottle etc) to a caravan at the end of 2020. Initially we moved almost everything in, and then took it nearly all back out again. It's taken a few trips to get it more-or-less right. Trial and error has been part of the fun. I definitely wouldn't rush out to buy new stuff though; you can always pop into a Home Bargains/Wilko/Ikea/Argos as part of your trip.
