Hi everyone
My wife and I have been talking about getting a MH for a while. We've had a caravan for 10 years. I initially resisted the MH idea - another vehicle to maintain and insure, where would we keep it, how much would we use it, mpg, having everything rattling around wherever we go etc etc. I'm now coming round to the idea - it'll help us keep in contact with the grandchildren and we can have some holidays etc. And it would be fun!!
Our concerns now are about what we can afford (which is not a lot) and what sort of reliability we can hope to get. It'll certainly be preloved.com or even ebay for us! We read about people with 20+ year old MHs - what might the maintenance costs be on a rig that old? Would we be buying a money-pit? I'm not up to doing the maintainence myself - my limit has been fitting a new top hose to the Honda.
So you see we are teetering on the brink, trying to pluck up the courage to make our first MH purchase. Which is why I've joined this forum!
