Hi all,
This is my first post, after few months of "lurking". Its a great site, the members appear to have done a great job in building up the funster community.
Based in the Wrexham area, we are at the recce stage of our first MH purchase. We have identified indoor storage near Wrexham and after quite a bit of research on this site and trudging around dealers decided on what our MH requirements are.
So we are looking at either the Swift Mondial RL or the Warwick Duo. We like the idea of two rear bench seats for relaxing, quickly converted into 2 x singles or a double. Plus room for the dog. Both seem to offer everything we want.
Obviously price is an issue, at the moment (before haggling) the Mondial can be picked up new for just under 37k(Lowdhams), whilst the Duo's MRRP is about 46.5k(Spinneys) ......quite a difference. However i'm aware that the price can sometimes be reflected in the build quality, van systems, storage etc, so I would pay the extra in order for everything to be right. I have searched through the forum, both groups of van owners appear happy with their vans, but £9000 difference is serious money for a pair of vans that appear to offer similar functions.
I would be interested to hear from owners of both vans with their thoughts good/bad on their respective vehicles. Also can both vans have solar panels fitted to give extra power if away from a hook up.
Thanks for your time guys.
