RV & Camping Leisurefest
Yesterday we went to the RV & Camping Leisurefest at Sandown racecourse. Interesting demographic - lots of retirees, and a few younger families like us.
We had a look through some of the RVs - spent some time at the Winnebago stand - had a look through a few and had a chat with the sales rep.
At the end of the day, even though some of those winnies get pretty big, none of them have what we want. Which is the ability to have the boys go to bed in their own beds (not sharing a double), while Carla and I can stay up a little longer into the evening.
So it seems that our only option is confirmed - it has to be a converted coach. And one with three bunks (which are pretty rare, it seems!).
Of course, at the other end of the scale is the tent option. ie. get a covered trailer (so that the car is not packed to the gills), and have a big multi-roomed tent to live in. Not exaclty what we want, but we have always said that we are heading off come Feb 2008, RV or no RV (but prefereably “RV” 
).
Unfortunately by that stage I had done enough walking, so we had to call it a day. So we didn’t get to check out all of the tents, but I’m sure we can go to somewhere like Rays Outdoors to get an idea of what is possible (and what is good, and what to avoid).
