Foxbat. Sounds like you had an adventure that you could have done without! But if you will buy in Pompey with all these sailors about  ?? Seriously, we had a business and lived in Osborne Road Southsea for a number of years and would go back there tomorrow. Apart from the cold/wind rain etc that is. It can blow a gale across the common on a good day. 

Had a good look yesterday at some dealers in Germany and it might be worth a try if nothing comes up down this neck of the woods. Still living in hope that some kind person will sell their motorhome with most of our wish list on it.

Foxbat you are a star. That looks like a good site and we could have a holiday in Germany at the same time . But will have to brush up on mein Deutsch as we are both a touch rusty.

Once again many thanks for the info.

Denis and Flo

Just noticed a grammatical error - mein Deutsch is singular should be unser Deutsch. Told you we were rusty

Hi Peter and Jan,

We plan on touring for the odd year or two, going back to some of the old haunts in Germany and Italy, and visiting some friends in Holland. The only problem we can see with heading to UK is the stretch of water to cross and that is why we would prefer something with a Continental registration/ITV/TUV as they are easier, and cheaper, to keep legal. But UK registered is ok providing it has 12 months (ish) MOT/Tax.

Have been offered a 36ft fifth wheel with Chevy pickup but just a tad too long at 40ft+. Pity as it was in lovely condition with all the bells and whistles. Other than that we have had no further offers.

The plan is to leave Moraira about the end of April and if we need to go back to UK first to buy something then we may tour there and then head for foreign shores later in the year. May be able to take advantage of the beautiful British summer.

Everything is lovely here at the moment and we will be sad to leave, and as you say we may be back, but we still have that desire to travel while we are able to.

See you soon we hope.

Flo and Denis

Thanks for the info foxbat and yes both of us have a license pre 97 and in one case pre 67. The drive belt problem you mention also occurs on the Chrysler Voyager, which we have at the moment, but throwing a belt has never been a problem as I wax the belt every so often, using a candle, and this helps to keep it on all the pulleys. Simple cheap and effective.

Lets hope that someone has a good one for us.
