We have been motorhoming since 2004 and preveiously had a caravan. we are now on our second van having owned a CI Carrioca 5 (656) for 3 years.

Our Current van is a Adria Coral 670 sk. Absoloute luxury as far as we are concerned.

we have visited to name but a few Holland ,Belgium ,Germany ,Luxembourg ,Switzerland and Andorra. There have of course been numerous trips around England and Wales. Our favourite trips inthe UK tend to be up to Escosse, around the locks and the west coast. Most of our summers hav been spent touring in the motorhome capital of the world, France.

Our hobbies are having fun, skiing,surfing,canoeing,walking,cycling and anything else you care to mention that's fun and preferably dangerous.

FIshing in Nuneaton




Hi all.
Well this weekend we went to a Motorhome fun/facts fishing meet. The weather was surprisingly gorgeous for the whole weekend. There was a good turnout of vans and many new faces from the Motorhome facts site.
This weekend we only had Harley with us as George was away on a school trip. This meant we were able to arrive early and I could get some fishing in on arrival.
Went out in to some sort of party errected tent for the night and surprisingly for me I was in bed by 11pm sober. However I was too soon make up for that. On the Saturday I took part in the fishing comp and although this was my first ever competition I actually managed to get 3rd place. Not bad for a novice. I then at night in the party tent took on the darts competition. I have not played Darts for some 10-20 years. Well with a lot of drink inside me and with Nikki and her friends pouring me in with Vodka and Jack daniels I actually managed to get to the final. Amazing, we all slept well that night and it was nice to not have to rush off to early on Sunday am. I even managed a bit more fishing and taught Jim the owner of Motorhome fun how to actually get them out!
The air susspension proved to be all I thought it would be on this trip. After I took some advice from others I actually let some air out and had the pressures set at 30psi. Again an amazing differnece. The TV fits in really well and gives great sound and picture. Its more than a TV though its an entertainment system meaning we could listent to harleys music all the way down and back"!!

Next trip is a tour of Wales at the end of October. Only 4 nights but then 4 is better than none. Then its off to Billing aquadome for another meet before we put Nessie away for December and January, ready for our Skiing trip in February.
Take care
