During the 16 years that we have been motorhome owners, we have noticed a large number of campers out there with some form of bicycle mounted on their camper. And while we have always thought that this was a good idea with the limited amount of time that we were using the old Mitsi, it… Read More Battery Powered
Sarah and I have never really been the joining sort. Still, when I retired, I was determined to become more involved in things and participate more, so when Jonas and the team from Acacia Motorhomes extended the invitation to attend the annual Dethleffs owners gathering, I accepted.

It is something I am… Read More Wild Woolley and Lost

After a rainstorm Saturday night the road conditions were… Read More On the road to nowhere
So after a little delay we finally got to collect the campervan Thursday 06/10/2017, there always seemed to be another thing we wanted to add to the van, but eventually plans settled and we were on our way.
