As with other new buyers, I join a queue begging for advice.
So far, we have decided we would like a fixed bed, low profile, or A class van, preferably auto, probably German built, to be kept in Spain, so LHD.
I am particularly looking at a 2005 Hymer B640 starline, and am a bit bogged down by model numbers. Also a Dethleffs Fortero, 2006, and finally a Niesmann and Bishchoff 2004, all around the £30,000, mark, with the ford at £20,000.
So, what do owners favor, transverse or "French" beds, and why? Front or rear wheel drive, Ford Mercedes or Fiat engines?
We were recently let down on a purchase, as the owner decided not to sell (dubious) so I will probably buy from a dealer, with a guarantee.
Thoughts and help much appreciated.
