Hi Ted and Jamie and everyone else!
I live on the Isle of Wight, my first camper also a lightweight unit which I still have is a Combi camp. This is an ultra lightweight unit, that there are very few of over here in the UK because they were made for the US market to be towed by bikes. This makes it ideal to be towed by my Harley Davidson trike.
All my life I have been involved with Motorcycles, my husband also has motorcycles and eventually I changed my career and became a DSA approved motorcycle instructor, that was until disability a few years ago.
As a family of petrol heads (our son included) we have always enjoyed 'Steam ups', and the vintage car displays, having had an Old Spitfire for the past thirty years (due to be sold..ahhhh), classic British bikes and more recently American ones. The one thing we saw in our travels at the steam ups, were the vintage caravans, which I fell in love with, much to hubbies disgust. But, as we don't have the space to store a 'winchester' or the such like...that is when we decided on a vintage folding caravan.....'Portafold'.
Matthew, kindly told us of a Porti that was for sale in the South, and we were lucky enough to purchase her. She required a fair amount of renovation, as most of them do, but we love her and 'Matilda' now accompanies us, not only to steam rallies and bike rallies, but is also our home away from home when we attend Morris and Folk Festivals....Yup, we are Morris Dancers

.....(not with bells and hankies though) we do 'Border Morris' which involves large sticks and lots of attitude

...lol. I have to say, I don't dance...not fit enough, so I play the accordion and flute for the group. I also play bodhran and mandolin (rather badly)...when alone..lol ....
That's me introduced...
