She says: "We had a one-year-old boy in 2020, who was very active and had a constant need for attention. I was going mad and my husband was still working full-time.
"We wanted to go on a wild adventure, so we decided to buy a motorhome. “We bought it from a family who used it for trips around the UK when their children were growing up, but they didn’t have much need for it any longer." Anna, a travel agent and Sergio, 52, a mechanic, purchased the pre-loved Peugeot Compass Avantgarde 140 and travelled across the UK while in lockdown to scratch their itch for travel.
According to Autotrader, the same model costs £25,000 to buy second hand, but the couple soon made their money back on the pricey vehicle. But the couple's travels soon garnered attention .
