The motorhome - sold

Our motorhome is gone, sold.  With us no more. A great sense of relief, as we can now move on.      

The roof was glued down by the motorhome repairers, and we collected it, stored it for a few days, and then sold it.
Perhaps we could have sold it for more money had we waited and sold it privately.   But there were a large number of motorhomes for sale, so a very competitive market.   It would have taken a considerable amount of effort and some cost, and we still had to pay storage fees and insurance cover.  And the beautifully detailed motorhome would start to lose its glossy sparkling look.    So we sold it to a large motorhome dealer, who gave us a really good price for it.     And off it went.

We felt a little sad afterwards, as it was an end of an era, no more living a nomadic life in a motorhome.  There is no way we can ever afford to buy another motorhome, as they are very expensive items, both the initial cost and to maintain.    But we have had lots of fun, travelling in our two motorhomes, the Millers Lakes Winnipeg and the previous one, a Chausson.    Great memories.

So it is now a new era, travelling sedately in a car and towing a caravan.   Looking forward to it.
