Went and picked up our "Eccles Majestic" this morning...

Only about a 25 mile drive home, but quite impressed..... Nice driving position, fairly high up.. (Not as high as an "A" class) but nice all the same..

Every thing to hand Nob wise.. :giggler:

Lot`s of buttons on the steering wheel.. and gear lever right by the steering wheel...

Reasonable gearing, good bit of grunt low down and high up.. nice gearbox... and only 2 years or 20K miles servicing ...

Free tracker for 3 months then pay.. :Eeek: Thatcham Cat 1 and immobiliser..

And a few goody`s thrown in.. And a "Majestic logo umbrella as well.. :cooler::rofl:

Only gripes are.............. Only one TV swing out arm and that is in the bedroom... and would not swing out enough to turn so you can see it from the lounge.. to take our 48inch TV...:RollEyes:

And after my bootiful Rapido... Judy is fast running out of storage space on the kitchen side of things.... :blush:

I have plenty of room for my gear in the under seat storage and out side lockers...

And I think "Tesco`s Home delivery Van`s) have morre kerb appeal than the back of this thing.... but should make for easy washing, I suppose ...

So next Thursday after dropping Daisy off at the kennels..... orf up to North Yorkshire for a few days to see if we can find another home with a view....

But not up the side of a bleedin mountain this time... :doh:

Judy said I could easily drive this one.... :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake: :crying: :crying: :crying:

5 years, feel free to ask me about the Carado!!
Sounds good. If it's new I would certainly get an interim oil change after a year, I worked out my new MH chassis between waiting for the conversion, conversion and being on the forecourt was already a year old presumably with the same oil in it. Making the oil being 3 years old by the time the official service date came up !!!!!

Hi @old-mo just a few things pal
We were told tracker was 3 months turned out its 12 months
Just speak to tracker
An easy way to gain about 80kgs in Payload we removed the pull out rear passenger seats I'd guess nearly 40kgs each
Two person job about 30 mins
One inside of the mh one person underneath

>> Madge has landed......

What a coincidence. I had an Auntie Madge who lived in Eccles.

Good hunting. If you get stuck and need translators I'm sure we have contacts in the area.

Brilliant news Mo, I trust you won't forget to call in on yer old mates in yer travels Mo, comfort stop or even overnight in the forest, I charge about as much as you used too.

As for camping you can have that for Nowt.

There's no easy way of saying this Mo and Jude but I'm glad to be in touch with you two on a more happy theme and I know everyone else feels the same, I pray that you have a ball without worries or troubles of any sort for the rest of your days.
