Just come across your channel... It was the name that drew my attention...Im a Gater too!!..Also love the caravan life😊...Where do you originate from?....ps...really admire what youre doing👍

[@gatersontour]

Hi, Oh Wow. Theres not many Gaters around, so its always exciting to meet new people. Hubby is from London originally but moved to Peterborough. Where are you guys from? We love the open road and are super excited. Must be a Gater thing!

[@traceyfranklin3927]

@gatersontour Hi...we're from Doncaster...there was quite a large family from Edlington(a mining village).Didn't know all of them but was my dad's uncles(think mostly boys)...My brother moved to Adelaide around 28 years ago and also has a son called Steven so the Gater name has travelled to Oz😂...Will continue watching your vlogs....so exciting..We have a seasonal pitch now so won't be touring anymore.Take care both of you Xx

[@gatersontour]

@traceyfranklin3927 aww it's fabulous to hear the Gater name is still on going. Ours will fade out soon as our son only had girls! And our daughters will take their partners name. We actually met a girl in Vegas who was called a Gater too! She worked in the zip line and was excited to meet us as saw our name. Maybe we will meet up one day! X

[@traceyfranklin3927]

Amazing!...If ever you are in this neck of the woods would be lovely to meet you.Xx

[@gatersontour]

@traceyfranklin3927 aww most definitely we will give you a shout x

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

Well. You’re finally there and we’re both so excited for you two. Oh my goodness what a time to be alive. We wished we had followed the Motorhome life much earlier than we have. But you guys have only gone and done it!! ❤️❤️👏👏❤️❤️👍👍 So cool Steve and Anna. We will be following along and hope to meet out there on the road Dave and Sue.
