Hi all. I am new to this forum. In fact, new to any forum, so forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place. I have just retired from the RAF and am looking to head off to Europe for a year or so, with my wife, in a motorhome. I stumbled across Motorhome Fun just trawling about looking for information. I am amazed at how helpful to each other you guys are! Not that I know any better, but there seems to be shedloads of really useful advice on here. So........I thought I'd chance my arm, and ask for help. You see, our European adventure has yet to get past first base......we haven't got a motorhome! I've been to a few dealers and looked at some ads, read some magazines - and looked on here - and think I have some idea of the sort of specifications we are looking for, but not sure which model would meet it. Any thoughts? We think we want to get a 4 berth even though there will only be the two of us (and a Border Collie!). We thought three areas : a double bed, cooking/dining area, and a relaxing area. I was thinking a pull down bed at one end and a fixed double bed at the other might work (a sort of 'day bed')? So, my shopping list has on it: pull down bed, swivel dvr and pax chairs, kitchen/dining, fixed back bed, garage (under fixed bed), awning, roof rack, bike rack, and reverse sensors (or camera).
Any thoughts on what we should be looking out for? Second-hand, few years old. We thought low-profile with a pull down bed (for the better fuel economy) but would a luton and an over cab bed be better? Doable for less than £30-35,000?
Of course, if we do manage to find a vehicle then the list of questions really begins!
Hope this is not too big a request? Appreciate any thoughts,
Best wishes, Phil
