Hi all, im new to this forum and am looking for some advice regarding purchasing a motorhome, any help would be much appreciated.
My wife and I have looked at motorhomes for a few years now and after returning from france this year on holidays we have made the decision that we should finally do something about getting one. That leaves us with the problem of finding the one that suits us best, so far its proving to be harder than i would have thought. Ill outline a few of our requirements and if anyone has any ideas i would love to hear them.
Ideally we would like a lowline four berth with two forward facing seats in the rear with seatbelts to help keep our 2 1/2 year old restrained and safe of course!! A fixed bed in the rear, either french type or i think they may be called transverse going across the rear of the body. The other thing i would really like is a garage which seem to come with the transverse bed type more, i have a couple of surfboards which i would need to find a space for along with everything else and ideally i would like to not have to store them inside the van when travelling.
We have looked at the Bailey approach 745 which looks to us to be a great motorhome and would be pretty close to what we would like to end up with, although it doesnt have any external storage. It appears that there dont seem to be any uk built homes with the layout we are looking for, at least i havent found any on my many hours of surfing internet. Does anyone out there know of one that i may have missed, it does seem that european models have a much bigger choice of layout which incorporates a garage. What would be your thoughts on buying a european as opposed to a uk model??
Thanks for any views on this
