Hi all
So here we are searching out what to buy for our first MH. Thanks to everyone for all the tips and views on here. THanks to other sites such as Motorhome Chooser. We're beginning to get a sense of what to avoid and what to buy as well as what layouts etc.
So we know that if we choose any Fiat later than 2006 we'll shudder up a hill backwards until we go to Exeter to get it fixed. Better to get a Merc or a Ford, epecially since they're chaincam and won't crush our valves at 70 mph when the belt snaps.
But hang on, Sprinters are a disaster waiting to happen I see tonight, so better drop them too otherwise I'll have a 10k bill for a new engine when our's seizes.
So that leaves us looking for something based on a Transit which is just as well as that's my preferred platform and no-one has told us any horror stories of them falling apart.
Unless you can, of course! Are we safe with a Ford? What should we know before we go and buy something which uses a Transit base?
Cheers
Mike
