It is a sad day, we have had to say goodbye to the motorhome. We have made the decision for two reasons, one I am on maternity leave and we wanted to free up some cash, and two, we decided it isn’t the right layout with two little people running all over the place!
So this is not goodbye forever, we will definitely get a new motorhome at some stage. Essentially we need more usable space. There just wasn’t enough in our old rig. Also sleeping arrangements started to become tricky with two children. We need something we can partition off on a night so we can sit and relax while the children sleep.
If you have any thoughts on layouts that work well with children please comment, I’d love to hear from you.
In the mean time, watch this space!

Sorry to see you leave, hopefully not for long. We have an Auto-Trail Imala 734 which has two single beds at the back that can be partitioned off with a sliding door. They do a version with a front dinette with two extra travel seats and belts. Then there is an overcab double bed for you. Bessacar and Auto- Sleeper both do a similar layout. You get Tv point in back bedroom and drop down a TV in the front with Auto-Trail.
Anyway good luck with the new additional Motorhomers.

Well done on getting as far as you did. I am sure I couldn’t have managed it with a child, or two! Good luck for the next van.

Layouts are so personal it’s important it works for you and your family. We spent ages trying to figure out what suited our needs. Good luck with the search.xx

Thanks. We’re still considering. It looks like you have an Autotrail, what model did you go for? Do you travel with kids in yours?

It is just the 2 of us and Dolly (our cat) at the minute so we wanted an open plan feel to the van. It has a u shaped lounge and lots of room for cooking. ☺ have you got any front runner’s for layout?x

Ooo, that sounds good. We’re after a u shape lounge with somewhere low down and separate for the kids to sleep. We’re looking at a Swift Kontiki.
