Hi all,
Following some internal negotiations involving knocking down an internal wall in our house, my budget for a motorhome is somewhat compromised...
I was looking to spend about £15-18k, but now looking more like £8-10k. From a previous thread, I know that something decent can be had for this amount of cash, but what should I look for? I am seeing some older Merc 208D based examples that look nice inside, but might have cosmetic issues, as well quite a few Talbots. We were planning to make this our primary holiday solution, but I think it will be more for weekends away in fact. We would need a 4 berth, but 5 would be handy. We had felt that a coachbuilt with overcab bed would be ideal, but I am not wedded to this.
With cars, my instinct is to go a bit older to higher quality, but does that hold true for MHs? What would that look like? Is the van base more important at this age? This all a new (and exciting) world for me!
All advice gratefully welcomed. Many thanks in advance.
Alex.
