Hi, Mike here. Very experienced in the automotive world. Ex international bike racer, rally driver + navigator. Run my own company making shock absorbers.

But. I know nothing about motorhomes apart from the hundreds of ads I've looked at recently so I've signed up to try and learn before spending. I'll post my dim question(s) in

No question is too silly so ask away. You may get the odd sensible reply too

Best place to ask your 'dim' questions and I can assure you they won't be any 'dimmer' or less 'technical' than me, these guys on here are great !!

Welcome - there are hundreds of us already here who know nothing about motorhomes but it doesn't stop us voicing our opinions. You will soon settle in and your shock absorbers could come in very handy...

Hi Mike

Welcome to Fun!
You will despair at the quality of these boxes we drive around in, but enjoy yourself all the same!

How about a range of motorhome coil-overs?!
We can slam our rides to get under the toll height restrictions in France!
-I'll only take 10 percent for my idea!!!!

Wow thank you all for your kind replies...

Like the loud mouthed cockney.. Very droll..

And as for the shocks I'll definitely make myself a set if the van seems to need it.

Will buy the e-book. Ā£7 is not a lot compared with the price of one of these...

What did I race? Loads of stuff but no full-factory bikes. Won a few championships broke lots of bones. Spent lots of money.

Er, price range up to/around Ā£20K. 4 berths with two permanent bunk beds. Will be doing a lot of long journeys, ie 4-500 miles on autoroutes.

Thanks again,

Mike
