A wee update
we've had the VW type 2 for...wow!!! it must be 22 years, over the last 6 or 7 years, due to one thing or another it hasn't seen much action, work commitments, building and selling a house, us getting older, having a hairy dog (that loves water) and us hiring newer motorhomes in the Algarve, real bad move as it's made us realise the VW is just a bit too small for us to enjoy extended breaks in Europe, great for long weekends / a week but any longer it's hard
So after many head scratching days and I mean lots & lots with umpteen visits to the local motorhome dealers over the last couple of years, we've made our minds up as to the van that suits OUR needs...Yee Haa
It had to have a garage, decent bed, with easy access, no ladders, no climbing over each other or over cab nonsense
no mid van drop downs, comfortable lounge / dining, straight kitchen area, plenty storage, toilet / shower and with a light interior opposed to the dark wood many have
Our choice...(drum roll) an Elddis 194, it's the one that ticked most if not all of our boxes
picture attached
Hopefully we'll be going away Feb next year for a couple of months
