Halfwaythere · Halfwaythere

I'm glad to have found this forum, it looks like I have some catching up to do! We've camped a lot in the past, but now we've got a Jayco Expanda and a Range Rover to pull it, and we're a tad excited. Looking forward to getting to know you! -- Edited by Halfwaythere on Monday 22nd of November 2021 04:01:58 PM
