December 2017

A desire to explore new places all over the country drew Cecil and Sarah Withers to 14 different motorhomes

- Cecil & Sarah Withers

From canvas to 'Van

Many moons ago, when we started our family, we lived in a mobile home. We didn’t have a lot of money, but we were always determined to have a holiday each year.

We began with camping holidays, taking our tent to Devon and Cornwall, and occasionally Wales, from our Hampshire home.

We continued with tents, even when we had four children (we had six in total, and are about to greet our 19th grandchild).
