Hello everyone,
We are Ann & Harry both mid sixties and just growing up.
We have just come back from the Newark show and we have jumped right in unexpectedly
by buying a motorhome from Fullers stand. We were "only going to look" as you do and did not expect to have parted with our hard earned pennies.
We expect to pick it up in three weeks time, it is a Bentley Indigo which really caught our eye as it looks really well finished off. We spoke to the maker Richard Bentley who, along with his father started the company in an industrial unit opposite their first company, Autocruise in Mexborough Yorkshire with a very good pedigree. We understand he has some of the ex Autocruise employees already working for them.
We do not know what will be required from us and our first few outings are going to be fun
especially when we do the wrong thing and look foolish but we are both up for a laugh anyway. We used to laugh at newbies putting up awnings and tents years ago before we would go over and help them out. Lets hope the motorhome fraternity will be gentle with us so that we can all laugh. Not sure what we will need or whether we will want levellers and things like that but we are sure we will soon find out.
We are looking at insurances and so far Safeguard and Comfort have quoted.
Does anyone have any good/bad experiences with either company as they both offer unlimited EU coverage and breakdown for around the same price although Safeguard
is quoting no mileage and comfort quote 6000 miles before the price goes up.
Are these two specialised in motorhome and do we need to get a quote from anyone else.
Big question? which club or clubs should we join especially for EU although we have no immediate plans we must look to the future.
Thank you for reading our little introduction hope it is not too long.
Kindest regards
