Well, we have finally gone and done it, as they say... We visited tha caravan show at the Excel Exhibition centre and ordered a new caravan for delivery next March/April time. Its a a model called a Baliey Senator Louisiana.The picture to the left is of a similar model. and a little dirty, but you can see that its quite a big van.
In fact its about 25 feet long and 7' 6" inches wide and weighs about 1750 kilos when fully loaded.
We have chosen the basic colour scheme for the upholstery and will add a few extras like a caravan mover, which is an remote controlled system, which drives the wheels by electric motors when p
arking. NO REVERSING FOR ME OLD CHAP!!!It comes with a complete shower and full bathroom, oven and microwave and a large refrigerator and freezer, so this allows plenty of room for the booze and some food. Ours a fixed double bed model, so no making up beds en-route.
So next year starting around April or May we shall be heading of for France for a few weeks to get used to it, we will come back to our home in July and and August and then continue our tour of Europe in September and October or until the weather gets to bad.
We are both looking forward to getting or caravan and starting a travels in Europe. We intend to visit as many countries as we can during the months of April to October, with the balance of the time at home or Florida or wherever its warmer than here.
We shall have to call the caravan a name, so any suggestions would be greatfully received
