Says Peter from California who wrote in to tell us about how he and his
partner, Leslie, traded vans and reaped the benefits of cheap travel.
“And we”d love to do it again! We put a letter to the Editor
in a caravan-owner”s magazine in England, saying we wanted to trade
our California van for theirs.

Four weeks before our 2-month trip, a nice gent from Norwich called to
say he”d consider it. After we traded references and information
about our vans and how they were outfitted, he welcomed us. We spent a
heavenly holiday travelling Britain, and then he and his wife came to
use our van to visit the great parks of the American west!

We saved thousands of dollars/pounds. Van trades are better than house
trades, because transportation is included and you”re not locked
in at one location! Campgrounds are very inexpensive and have nice showers
and laundry facilities.

We will soon have a new advertisement appearing in the Caravan Club Magazine–we”d
love to visit France for 2 months! Insurance is not a problem, as each
borrower gets their own to cover liability and collision.

In fact, if any of you fellow Globetrotters out there has a VW or other
van (fancy factory-outfitted vans are not necessary–we can sleep in a
bare tradesman”s van just fine), we”d love to trade with you.

Give me a call or an email: Peter Reimuller, Box 4, Point Arena, California,
95468; phone 1-(707)-882-2001; reimuller@mcn.org. And pack your bag–you”re
going to be in some wonderful places!

Sorry–April not available as we are taking our van to Indian Country
to visit the red-rock mesas and desert wildflowers.”
