Our VW Autosleeper "Wendy House" Motorhome Trips
WELCOME TO MOTORHOME TRAVELS BLOG
This page shows all our trips in our lovely VW Autosleeper Anniversary Clubman, which we purchased in 2012 and we affectionately call our "Wendy house", by November 2025 her speedo was up to 62,500 miles, and so far we have made 62 trips in her, what fun. We have done 44+ thousand miles on those 62 trips since we bought her with 18,500 on the clock and we expect to do many more.
