Tuesday 29th October 2024 Six weeks is the longest trip we have undertaken with the motorhome. I realise this is only brief by some folk's standards, but it was a major undertaking for us and we are glad that there were no major problems. Some statistics: We have driven a total of 3,251 miles and …
