Just sold mine as i want a same size but newer one. It was my first van to see if i liked it...& i do! B&B/hotels are'nt for me due the restrictions involved. No Smoking!!! I like to come & go as i please at any hour, eat what i want when i want etc. I understand if bike touring & not wanting to carry tents & mess about after a long days ride a B&B can work but my "vanning is more aimed at car meets so actually being on site 24/7 & in my own little home from home works for me.

   Reckon a 1200GS would happily pull a small 2 berth!!!!!! 8-)

The local Vauxhall dealer of all places has one for sale at the moment. £9000 IIRC, 10 plate I think.  ;)

Wise investment is a GS, despite what people here think of them they hold their value very well.

I paid £6,250 for my 2006 on a 56 back in 2009, from a BMW dealer no less. See whats on autotrader now for that money, I reckon if I sold it now, i'd barley loose a 3 figure sum  :)

GS would pull it, its all about torque on it, its not a bike to red line. Peak torque is at 5.5k rpm  :)

Caravan works for us.

easier than camping - Sue would not do that

Cheaper than renting a place the areas we go you are looking at around £1000 per week

For this purpose, traveling time will become more important than if you were taking an annual 2 week holiday.

Exactly the reason we're looking at getting rid of out caravan... It was stupidly cheap when we got it (less than we sold the Trailer Tent it replaced for) and still worth at least 5/6 times what we paid so we couldn't turn it down. The fact is, it just hasn't had the use we had planned for it and we can't justify keeping it... A tent is more practical for the meets (for us) because they are all 210+ miles from us so travelling time is more important ;)

The plan was to use it for weekends as and when we wanted... It just didn't happen so it's not worth it. Fortunately we don't have to pay for storage, otherwise I think it would be long gone ;)
