Hello from TJB in North Yorkshire

Hello from Tim in Skipton. We bought a new Symbol in 2016. My wife had a old VW camper 35 yrs ago and we fancied a small vehicle which is easy to park and drive about and also one which would fit in our drive. I'm retired and my wife is semi retired. We haven't ventured abroad in the van yet but plan to soon. We've been to many places abroad when the kids were younger and are now looking forward to revisiting France in the van with our Jack Russell and without buckets and spades!. We've taken the van around the UK and often go on short trips to the lakes or the Yorkshire coast. We have a drive away awning for summer. I've been a member of this forum since 2016 and found lots of really useful advice as things have cropped up. I have a couple of friends who have had caravans and motorhomes for years who I can ask numb questions! My first post was yesterday in response to "Kingham cons", as my van has also had lots of faults. Its been a steep learning curve, but now I should be able to answer a few questions myself, from tyre pressures and curing rattles, to what kind of awning to buy.
