To change or not to change

My wife and I have had a two year ill health enforced break from caravanning but we are now making plans for 2020.  During this period we have given serious thought to a motorhome and I have posted endless questions on CT.  I am now writing to say a huge thank you to the many people who have given invaluable advice and comment.  You really are appreciated.

About two weeks ago we both came to the conclusion that a motorhome will never work for us.  After almost forty years of caravanning we know that we love to stay in out of the way places for two weeks or more at a time.  The car gives us the freedom to explore and we enjoy the sense of homecoming to our little encampment.  

Our solution is simplification on the basis that small is beautiful.  Along these lines we hope to purchase a smaller caravan and enjoy the benefits of less wear and tear which comes with towing a large outfit on roads which become more and more congested.

I am hoping we will still be able to get travel insurance as France continues to exert her pull on our hearts and minds.

After fourteen years towing we decided on a MH, best thing we ever did. Tour at the drop of a hat, First two years sited near towns and villages, used public trans. My disabilities are declining so last year bought small tow car.

We could not do small outfit because my disabilities.

Sometimes small is beautiful but not practical.
