Thinking of changing the motorhome (1 Viewer)

[lorger]

Well you can't take it with ya!!!!!!!!

I know but you have to remember I am Scottish

 

[lorger]

I think I am swaying towards the Adria will have to have a good think about it over the festive season and see if any sales start in January.

Phoned Campbell's they are doing their showroom up just now so have moved all the MHs to their other depot and now closed over Xmas so will possibly pop down for a look start of year.

If you're going to have a look round, Gerry, you might do worse than have a look at Camper NE at Birtley (not all that far from the Metro Centre). We found them great to deal with when (and after) we bought our Burstner. They're closed now until 2nd January but, from the web site, they seem to have a few vans in of the layout you are looking for.

Jerry if you were a true Scotsman you would not buy a new van, let someone else take the depreciation . Bide your time sell your van privately and look for a second hand van ,albeit a year or two old on the private market .TURN UP WITH POUND NOTES ,which you can't do at a dealership due to money laundering regulations.In this economic climate some people due to circumstances have to sell .keep an open mind and grab a bargain ,If you want a good van with winterisation and a good layout don't overlook the Euramobil vans if I had your dollar I'd go for a good A Class and still have change.Drop down bed ,rear double or two singles plus huge lounge.
If your quick you could squeeze in a quick trip to Italy with your Dad
Regards Vlad

Thanks vlad we actually said that tonight that after the new year we will stick ours up for sale as it will give us more freedom of choice and hopefully get a better deal.
As for Italy the first thing I did was check my shift card and unfortunately I'm on nights so would need to take two off and then might not have enough left for the final

As for the a class we do like them as well as the Adria with the drop down bed problem is we don't want anything to long so trying to fit everything in we want/need in a small van could prove difficult but we will make some compromises along the way.

Gerry I noice in your thread you refer to We ,I take it that's your good lady. Well
Look into her eyes and ask her if size matters,when its raining and your couped up it does!
My first Motorhome is the one I have now its 24 ft long, me and she both drive it easily,its just a big courier van after all,the diner is always there but you can have a lounger to relax in or a big bed to sprawl on.It sleeps 6 however if it were all adults it would feel cramped.But for for 2 adults and 2kids it provides more than enough sleeping and lounging space without feeling cramped

I can assure you size doesnt matter to her Its nothing to do with the driving Vlad i have drove a few large vehicles in my day, its more to do with what we want, our current van is 6.2m and we find we can park it in most carparks and easy to get it parked in cities and town center's. We dont mind a van around 7m but dont see the need for anything bigger.

Vlad, if he were a true Scotsman it would be a tent and wheelbarrow.

Whoops, now I've put ideas in his head

Hi Gerry, we have a "hymer starline 630" merc chassis 5 cyl turbodiesel. From your description it would fit the bill. A low mileage one like ours 24,000 miles, for around £ 30k is about right. I have seen some for sale here and there. Its a great touring machine. Powerful, incredible turning circle, and very well made.
Happy hunting.
