A couple of weeks ago we went to the Romsey Motorhome Show with the idea that we would see what was out there, and what we might get if we decided to trade Sally in for a new model. Well we soon spotted an example which fitted out criteria - all the things we were looking for when we bought Sally, plus must have an auto gearbox and desirably a bigger fridge/freezer. Well, it wasn't long before we saw one meeting our aspirations. A brief discussion showed that there might be room for negotation. After looking at some more stands and a few more discussions we decided we would see if a deal could be made. Well, of course, it was, or I wouldn't be writing this!!

So this weekend we took our last trip in Sally at Dummer Down Farm near Basingstoke for a rally.

A good weekend with sunshine (hooray!!), good company, walks and bike rides. Finished off with a glass of wine watching the sun go down. A fitting end to 5 years excellent years with Sally.

Achievements

We are Edward and Frances, motorhoming in Sally. We had Sally I, an Autotrail, for five years and have now had Sally II, an Autosleeper for 18 months, so we consider ourselves reasonably experienced motorhomers by now. We spend several months each year travelling in Europe, and (5-day!) weekends in England walking with a group of like-minded folk through central southern England. About 1/3 of our life is spent in the motorhome. We only use campsites occasionally, preferring to stop and go in accordance with a general plan which is there to be changed according to whim and what happens on the day.
