Greetings fellow travellers,
I have lived viceriously through reading numerous books and blogs about lucky folk who have taken the plunge, purchased a modest motorhome and travelled throughout Europe, North & South America and across New Zealand and Australia. I am 53 years young, a year Divorced, and my two children are now living independently. So, now it's time for Dear old Dad to head off on down the path less travelled.
I am ideally looking for a 2/4 berth home/van that has been lovingly cared for and is looking for a good and caring owner. I am reasonably handy mechanically etc, but I do not want to be buying someone else's headaches. To start with, my Ex got both my kidneys in the Divorce lol That has left me with a modest budget to start with. I have a budget of around €10,000 to get me up and going. I had my sights set on a beautiful 2008 Merc Sprinter recently professionally converted, but I discovered, just in time, that it had major engine issues, so I dodged that bullet!
I appreciate that by new retail prices, my budget is very modest, but it's substance, 'good bones' and character I'm after, not flash or a 171 Reg plate.
I have trawled the likes of Adverts.ie and Donedeal.ie, but for my budget, the photos resemble vans that are minutes away from the crusher.... so I am reaching out to you good folk 'in the know', you might just know where a genuine freewheeler could get a nugget, a modest home on 4 wheels...
So there you have it, I am blue in the face reading books on Kindle and watching YouTube clips of people living the life I long for, where no two days are same and I can embrace the next chapter of my life where I will be accumulating a wealth of memories, not assets as I have been doing only to have the Banks and My Ex pick through and dismantle my life's work.
PS I am quiet a jolly person really, and the thoughts of 'getting the down the road' has kept me going through tough times. Well now is My Time
Carpe Diem (Seize the Day)
Safe travels, y'all,
Conor B
