Добавлен 17 дек 2022
Welcome to Bonjour Motorhome!
We are Zoe and Malish who now live full-time in our motorhome with Keeva the Pickle, an Irish Wheaten Terrier who brings chaos to order!
Join us on our adventures across the UK and Europe, our first trip across the English Channel into France is planned for September and with no set agenda, who knows where we will end up.
With Zoe being severely sight impaired (blind), Malish has his work cut out keeping both her and the dog out of trouble, The Pickle just loves meeting new people and bouncing up to other dogs and Zoe is forever on the hunt for delicious bread! Malish just loves anything orange.
Our travels have already taken us to some truly amazing places, we have met some great people and made new friendships with other van lifers and we hope to meet many more over the coming years.
So, please subscribe and follow our journeys into the unknown, you never know what is round the next bend!

1st Night motorhome wild camping after going full-time with van life, it wasn't quite as expected!
For some, deciding to start living full-time in a van such as our motorhome is a truly daunting thought but, for us it was a simple choice. We always wanted to live in our van rather than a house and now the dream has become the reality. Join us and find out how it goes when we go wild camping for the first time after having the Auto-Trail Tracker for just under 3 years;.
We have made many adaptations to improve Melvyn the Motorhome, at times it is more like a van conversion, such as exchanging the Thetford cassette toilet for a Separate Tiny composting one, adding a HPC Self Levelling system plus much more and now it is starting to really pay off.

We did it, we are now officially full time van life in our 2007 Auto-Trail Tracker motorhome!
