Solo vanning

Condolences BR. I only just joined Club Together so you may have already decided what the future is to be.  However I speak as someone who has experienced a spookily similar situation to your own. Married 47 years, my wife passed away last year after a sudden illness. We had enjoyed 40 years of caravanning and my family persuaded me not to give up until I had 'given it a go' on my own. We had a new, little used Bailey Cadiz. I decided to swap it for layout reasons and have managed to conquer a lot of the issues I expected. I bought a Bailey Prima 290 air awning, now used with a Swift Challenger 530. It is light enough to put up single-handed, all 4 panels can be removed, side doors have mesh panel and inflates by hand in a minute or two. Plenty of room as it's a bit deeper than many. Not the cheapest but material high quality and very strong in windy conditions.

I hope you persevere before making a final decision. May bump into each other at some point.

Regards

Roger

We were in Netherlands at Easter on a rally . Not this club . 

There were about 4 or 5 solo caravanners / motorhomes . Two men in their own caravans and I think 3 or 4 ladies in there own motorhomes . 

After this rally they were moving on to another rally . . 

I think give it a try . It is nice to have company . 

At the rally in the Netherlands I was one of the ladies in a motorhome.  We had a great time with good company as we always have in the New Companions.  newcompanions.org.uk

Hi any solo campers, motorhomers in West Sussex wanting to meet up?

svenhuesing.  This forum has gone very quiet as the people who used to post here have migrated to other groups.  Try joining the New Companions as their members organise meets all over the country.

There are also many facebook groups for single/solo motorhomers etc

Hi.....I’m an adventurous single lady campervanner and am wondering if there are meet-ups organised at different locations? Or have I just given myself a job! 😃Diane

Hi Diane.A New group  ha recently started up ,you may be interested in ." Camping Companions" Could be worth looking up??.

Have been caravanning solo for a number of  years. . A tip may help in hitching up solo. Couple the van and  the cable and switch on car lights. The van running lights can be seen in your mirror. Go round to the back of the van and unlock the car, which will flash both amber lights. Only the brake light must be proven. some suggest a prop against the pedal. I have a small visible  LED connected internally to the brake connection and it lights when the brake is pressed.

 The only connection broken and remade since leaving home is the 13pin plug. .I have been caravanning for 53 years and have never known road lights to fail en-route. Get a friend to check your road lights before leaving home, and enjoy your travels.
