SarahWoo 6 Jan 2:41pm, 6 Jan 2025 21,168 posts	0 SarahWoo Our van is currently up for sale. We’re going to buy a smaller one to make it easier to get into towns and villages and park in normal car parks. Also, Mr Woo is 70 next year and won’t automatically be able to drive a 4 tonne van.

SarahWoo 6 Jan 3:03pm, 6 Jan 2025 21,169 posts	0 SarahWoo Thanks, Rosehip. I think it will take a while to sell our current one but you never know! We'll just keep using it until it sells though.

SarahWoo 6 Jan 3:54pm, 6 Jan 2025 21,170 posts	0 SarahWoo Pete has already spent hours and hours and hours looking at all the options online. We've looked at a few in the flesh and we're scheduled to go to two motorhome shows. I'm losing the will to live rapidly 😂 It will be one the same size as yours though.

It's surprisingly easy to downsize as long as you leave out all the non-essential things. It was a shock to see how much we had fitted into our 8m motorhome - it filled our dining room. We have to do a bit more packing each time we go away as we no longer take everything away with us; we are more discerning and take just what we'll need.
Rosehip 6 Jan 5:18pm, 6 Jan 2025 34,147 posts	0 Rosehip I have two shelves in the garage - winter shelf and summer shelf, as long as we don't carry snow socks in summer or beach stuff in the winter there's plenty of storage I make a lot of use of the over cab shelf in ours, I'm not sure how we'd manage with the new vans that have a skylight there instead The other thing that really helped was turning the 'wardrobe' into a pantry - we don't take clothes that need hanging.
