Time to move on.

"Perky" the Perkins engined camper van

Looks like this little beauty will be up for sale soon!

It's been a great little camper, but now it's time someone else made some memories with her.

She has served us well, never breaking down, always starting first time.

In camper van terminology, she is "getting on a bit".    


We will be sorry to see her go, but she leaves us with many happy memories:
