Who We are David and Marjorie and have been caravanning together since 1997. We retired early when our industries, Coal and Rail, were privatised.
What we do with the caravan
Where we go We have traveled widely in Europe, including several visits to Italy, more recently Croatia and the countries en-route but have spent much of the time over the years in France, Spain and Portugal, tending now to visit fewer places but staying longer
Why
How Our outfit is now a 2019 Hobby Excellent 540 FU. It is towed with a Mercedes E220CDI Estate. This is a return to a German manufactured van after 7 years owning a Lunar Clubman. We have previously traveled with a Fiamma Caravanstore canopy and a conventional awning for longer stays but now use a Thule Omnistor awning fitted together with a Panorama Room to create the "awning" for longer stays . This has been transferred from the Lunar See the fitting here
The E Class estate tows effortlessly and after over 22000miles towing with both the car and van fully loaded for long stays has averaged over 29 mpg. With the seats down an enormous space for all our gear is available, the only downside being that it is a very large car and this is most apparent on car parks.
