What makes me mad is.... (1 Viewer)

Is when people keep saying my motorhome is a budget model, I paid best part of 50k for my Chausson new last year and to some it is a budget model.
Well if you have a car which cost 20k and your neighbour bought a car costing 25k would you like him to tell you that yours is a budget model, if they were both new cars?
If e.g. You had a Hymer second hand and paid 20k and your neighbour bought a new Rollerteam for 45k would you tell him he had a budget model?
So leave me alone please or I will scream.

Well my PVC used to be a builder's van, so I would not dream of telling anyone they had a budget model - £50k sounds like a lot of money to me. In fact it's £7k more than the sum of purchase prices for all 3 of my vans. You must be rich!! And why bother anyway??

 

[PP Bear]

That's quite a lot to pay for one, so no way is cheep (cheep cheep)

As long as you like your budget model Chausson I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[Anthea M]

Ours is a German one which may have a huge hole where a window should be so you don't need to worry!

 

[Emmit]

Has to be said,

You paid, "How Much!!!"

This is the Budget version .........

The De-luxe version comes with a Butler!

 

[DavidG58]

I can only presume you have neighbours who are more status minded than yourself

Cant really think how that conversation could be starting so regularly where are you when it happens?

When people come to see me they say - "By heck, that's a big one" - and sometimes they're referring to the Motorhome!

Did you fall for that sales spin? Everyone knows that the single butler model is the budget one. Our MH has a butler, chauffeur, cleaner, chef nanny and valet; doesn't yours

 

[Cliffdale]

I agree with the op! Looking at new, I read 'entry model' @ £55k! Entry model?? WOW!

Whats 50k these days you can pay more than that for a car.

It does not matter how much you pay for a van its down to what you want as long as you are happy with the van tell them to pi$$ off we paid 35k for our van and we love it.

 

[RitaG]

Too much motorhome snobbery by some people, just remember someone in a £20k van is having the same holiday as someone else in a £100k van.

 

[golly]

why get bothered about what anyone calls it, if you paid 5000 or 100,000 just enjoy it.

Budget van I'd take that as a compliment

[Just smiffy]

Mine might only cost 2/6' but it's all mine and not some HP companies or banks....

Tell em to go talk to someone who cares...

Ours was just a smidgeon under £20k, it is what is called an "entry level M/H"
It's got a 3 way fridge, separate shower, swivel loo, fixed bed, dinette, blinds, insect screens ,4 burner hob and grill, dinette, 4 belts, sleeps 4, very large Storage area under the fixed bed, heaps of storage over, hot water and heating. We have added a few bit THAT WE THOUGHT WERE NESSASARY! It's paid for, we owe nobody nothing!

We're happy with what we got, 2/5ths of what you paid, we use it every month for a week minimum.

Be happy with what ever you've got, use it, enjoy it! Who gives a flying rats what people think of your M/H

YOU! shouldn't It's paid for

Have you just got back??

I borrowed one of those once, felt like you were going uphill all the time, it was like being in a blender full of golf balls. Plenty of room though

Ours cost 3k ..... 50k isn't budget and it certainly isn't entry level... did you win the lottery?

 

[Langtoftlad]

Being pedantic - the Flash is Chausson's entry level with the Welcome being their 'premium' trim brand.

And with Motorhomes costing £200k, comparatively £50k isn't much.

All groups have a range of brands - Hymer have budget Sunlight as their "budget" range.

But
as everyone above has pointed out - if you're happy with what you bought then sod what anyone else thinks...

(owner of a 12year old Ace Modena which was the entry level range of Swift which in themselves are considered to be a "budget" manufacturer).

Win the lottery, and then how much did you pay! Two Quid. Paper is valueless, memories and contentment, that is real value.

You are not really helping the OPs ego here, you could have been a little more sort of , indirect

Thought he'd had plenty of ego massage from the 2 pages of previous posts .

Just providing a little... um.... balance .

My advice to the OP is ignore anyone who is a brand snob... being able to buy new (at any level) is not to be sniffed at.
