Hi All
Just subscribed to a full member & thought we'd say hi.

Owning a camper-van is a new experience to us and reading the blogs & forums, we can see we have a lot to learn. We have only just taken delivery of our VW transporter and it is going to be converted in February. Then a few short uk trips to sort things out and see what we have forgotten, then we are off to the Italian Lakes.

If you see a (hopefully) smart silver VW hightop around with maybe somewhat 'iffy' guitar music coming from it. then it's probably us. Please come over and say hello & have a drink. Even if you can't sing, you'd be most welcome! B)

You are most likely to find us near water, especially if there is a wind blowing.

Richard & Janet

Hello Richard and Janet and welcome

You may also hear some iffy (dodgy) guitar sounds coming from our van. Yes there is a lot to learn and that is part of the fun of owning a van. That said, I do get frustrated when all I read in the magazines is that you should do this, don't park (sleep) there, weigh this and plan that. By all means stay within in the law (most of the time) but just enjoy the moment and don't worry that you might be doing the wrong thing. For us, it is the freedom from conformity and the chance to live on the edge for a while that makes campervan / motorhoming attractive. It sounds like you sail or surf so living on the edge is something you relish!

Best wishes

Spinner :welcome1:

Hi spinner
Yes, I windsurf, and as I get older, I sometimes think I am about to fall over the edge. But so far, there has always been someone on hand to rescue me.

B) It's not until you try windsurfing the guitar that you get near the edge. That is what you call a sinker and not easy to strum with your big toe when your in the straps. B) :kiss: peace man.

That's a thought. I might try that. It couldn't make either my windsurfing or guitar playing much worse. I knew I'd being doing something wrong all these years. :unsure:
