It must have been a hard decision the give up the vanning life.
I'm almost at that same stage of selling up the whole lot and resorting to cabin stays and organised tours.
The beauty of organised tours or hotel stays is you don't have to do any housework. like making beds etc, no cooking etc etc.
But part of my latest thinking is the new vehicle must be able to tow at the min 2 ton, and If I want to go vanning I can always hire one.
At the moment it's just a thought bubble but the recent health scare,( Lobectomy,) apart from the longer than expected recovery issues, does make one think that at 80 one is not as fit/active as at 40.
When the borders are open again instead of driving across to tour we'd be hiring a good car and staying at hotels/cabins etc.
