We sold the Caravan:(

Well guys, after a period of not posting i felt I should elaborate on why the posts have stopped - the simple response if we have sold the caravan...

Living in the caravan was our dream for a few years and i can say the whole experience totally lived up to our expectations, we loved almost every min and did not want to stop - unfortunately the caravan just was not upto daily living ( as i had anticipated but i needed to try as it may have made things alot cheaper for us)

Things were going wrong pretty regularly, and the dealer we used was great and fixed them every time..But once warranty was out it would have been a huge money pit. So I sold back to them at a 20% loss on purchase price.

It was a costly experience but we both agree well worth it. It has confirmed to us that it IS a lifestyle we want but a trailer is not the answer.,.

Not it is time to start saving for something that will last - a van.

Onto better things we have to try stuff to see what works. I have a Toyota Coaster motorhome as you may well remember. No towing involved 👍

Dude, I've been waiting for you!
Yes, in any case, it is an experience!
Spending a lot of money and understand that something is not right is normal. I also had many such situations.

You are great!

Please describe what was wrong in the caravan? Why did you have to sell it? What needs took a lot of money? Fuel? Any services?

Now I am exploring the topic of bicycle motor homes. This topic explodes my brain.

I made a post on this topic: https://steemit.com/life/@gulia.peito/idea-for-home-bike-camper-crypto-city
And recorded video: https://steemit.com/dtube/@gulia.peito/lu6f20qokz6

Perhaps this will push you to some thoughts.

Those bicycle motorhomes are awesome!:D

We didnt actually lose any money servicing as we bought it from a good dealer - they had a great service guy and he fixed the little things that went wrong. But it did become clear to us that once our 6 month warranty was over it would become just to expensive to carry on.

So we sold to limit the cost damage just to the resale.

On to another adventure and make more memories. What we dream of you are living it.
