He washed up this evening as I am poorly! However he could not find where the plates went!

Now that's an idea - ideal motor home with laundry chute to washer dryer which sorted out washing, washed and dried it and folded it all! I think that's a laundry service though! Missing the laundry in Messines where the lady kindly did all of that for not very many euros!

Washing up can be eliminated by using disposable plates etc!

I'm with you Bertie and if Kath can point us in the right direction for the laundry service, I can actually have a holiday and a few beers. Magic, Thanks all now off to ZZZZland to dream about the Fairy lady and if I am lucky the OXO one too, Night all, enjoyed the banter and the thread.

The one I've just bought ..:)

I have absolutely no desire for a flash up-market expensive van.. and no, that is not jealousy.. in my experience value of van or any other processions doesn't equate to enjoyment or happiness.
Flash expensive cars and motorhomes make *some* people jealous.. I've heard of several people selling an expensive car due to it being continually vandalised.. sad indeed.. but that is the reality of the culture of greed and jealousy... the 'I want it now' society and bugger you if you have it.. and I can't.

Nor do I want to stand out in the crowd in an aire or site.. I wouldn't feel comfortable in a mega expensive motorhome.. and how would it look when freeloading .. :LOL:

I used to hate when people came up to our RV and stared at it and tried to look in the windows.. .. some even asking to come inside to view.. :rolleyes: others taking photos.. I even had one Portuguese couple stand next to it for their wedding photos.. they didn't realise we were inside having a nap..

Being super rich does not provide a healthier happier and longer life.. .. so I don't do the lottery

but if you can afford or you want one, why not.. each to their own..

Now that's a good question, Variomobil Star on MAN or Merc truck chassis but running sub 7.5 tonne and just under 8 metres, air suspension diff lock and jacks, lots of solar and a couple of big Gel batteries. Not that I have given this any thought of course.
That sounds about right for me too Martin, ie, go anywhere, German reliability and quality, and totally self sufficient for days. (y)
Not that we're (Rita and I) ever going to experience that sort of MH. ;)

Cheers,

Jock.

Nice to dream though, I got the brochure at Dusseldorf if you want to drool over it.

Am looking at a Setra coach which was converted by a Dutch boatbuilder. Fantastic build quality and not to big to tour. Talking Pat into letting me sell the fiver is another matter. She loves that damned slideout.

First year under our belt!
Well, not a lottery win but many years of hard work and piling money into the pension fund but we now have our dream van sitting on the drive.
Our new Carthago Chic.
Just need to be able to get away now to enjoy it. Hopefully it won't be long and we will be off over the water. :)

Richard.

Lovely. I take it the quality is all they say it is?

A tardis. My dream MH doesn't exist.

I want to have a PVC, no tugging, no toad. I want 2 berths and a small lounge for me and Ms Tigs. I want a fixed double bed and I want a decent toilet and shower.

All good so far.. but I want to have a boat and a decent fast car with me all the time. I want enough on board water and waste for a week off grid and I want to be able to park the whole lot on my drive.

I'd like one that could contain an Ariel Atom... and still be under 8 metres long!

On and off since 1983
Well I'm lucky enough to have just purchased my dream Motor Home and I picked it up on Friday from VanBitz following having a few extras fitted.

I went to the NEC having made up my mind on the Carthago Chic e-line L 51 Linerclass model.

We had all but struck a deal when I said to Jackie that I wanted to look once more at the Frankia that had impressed me so much three years earlier.

I didn't get any further, we decided then and there this was the one we have been promising ourselves. The Frankia Platin Plus with twin singles.

The 2014 Luxury Motor-home of the year, not everybody's cup of tea but we just love it to death........Griff
