Ever heard the saying "In at the deep end"?
We've just collected our 1st ever motorhome, it's an Autotrail Comanche from Brownhills - brave or stupid??
After reading about both product & supplier we stayed well away & embarked on a few long trips last year up & down the country viewing all sorts of new & s/h motorhomes upto 38ft RV's. We ended one day at Brownhills & viewed a new Comanche they had in stock, it wasn't the spec we wanted but it gave us a good idea of size/layout. we were both very impressed, the staff were the complete opposite to what we'd read & the Autotrail was as good as any we'd seen. A trip to the Autotrail factory tour was arranged.
After the trip I went back & had a decent deal with Brownhills, a brand new order with every extra available & below the screen price.
We waited a few months for the order to be built & when we collected stayed overnight to iron out any faults, we met some of the service staff, some very good, some average. I kept the names of the good ones!
A few issues that coudn't be sorted on the day that should of been picked up on the PDI means we have to go back, simple stuff thats all over most forums (don't these guys ever go on the net??)
It's a lot of money & yes both Autotrail & Brownhills could have done a little better but on the whole we're pretty impressed with both SO FAR! First proper trip next week so watch this space
