[ Special Feature ] Motorhome Swap.
We are retired, non-smokers, and experienced motorhomers. Kathleen was a teacher and a horticulturist, and Kevin designed motorhomes for Swagman on Caddie since 1995, and has 23 years of motorhome experience. We spend half the year in our motorhome and the rest of the time in our garden.
We are interested in doing a motorhome swap with an owner in South Africa.
What is a motorhome swap? Let’s start at the beginning…
We were doing a 14-day cruise from Brisbane around both North and South Island of New Zealand. Our ship had called in at the beautiful harbour of Akaroa for the day and we happened to meet a German on shore who was travelling around New Zealand in a motorhome.
I noticed that it was not a rental, and asked him about that.
“No,” he said, “it is a swap! We swap motorhomes around the world every year.”
Well, it struck me in a flash that here was a solution for my wife and I to see much of the world at the cost of motorhoming at home. We could easily afford that.
