Tonight we put our motorbikes on bike sales. We have travelled far and wide on them and have decided to sell them to join the GN. THIS IS NOT EASY. The pushbikes will come with us but sadly our two girls will be sold.

We would like to start looking a round for something a bit larger than our Jayco Starcraft. Something with a shower /toilet and a single double bed. The prices seem to have really gone through the roof since our last purchase. Any good advice will be great.
