What van do you have - I can't actually make out from your profile photo what it is.
Delayed response because I've been dragged to Gunwharf Quays for some retail therapy (n) now over 250 squids lighter :mad: Anyway, our MoHo is a Knaus Sky i 700 Plus LX to give its full title. Bought from Southdowns Motorcaravans in Portsmouth last September, who have been very good. Our previous was an Auto-Sleeper Broadway FB bought new from Marquis Southampton, our experience with their after sales service was not good. Before that we had a 2007 Ace Airstream bought from Dolphin Motorhomes, after eleven months of ownership we traded it in at Marquis who found severe damp, four weeks after an "all clear" habitation and damp test!

Neesayanne, there's a ton of similar experience on this site, all for you edification if you decide to use it. But, it's already been said, it's your choice. Only you can make the choice that's right for you and when made you are in for a treat! Enjoy, hope to see you out and about. (y) Cheers. :drink:

Welcome..Getting an A class to work at 3500kg (enough practical payload) will be difficult I would think...

Thinking about this...I am even more sure that an island bed requirement (extra length and weight) will be impossible to achieve @ 3500. If this a lisence restriction you need to do your homework!

Also need to get realistic!lol

Looks a cracker! It's got service history (y) What's the weight, payload and dimensions, bet you're keen :) but don't rush, there'll always be another. Good luck. Terran

We have just bought a new Knaus Sky Ti 700 MEB from "Trudie" at Southdowns Motorcaravans - haven't been out in it yet (apart from the drive
home to Lee on the Solent) hoping to get away for a few days next week

Wow! Congratulations, lovely van, great build quality, you'll not be disappointed. We often take a drive to Lee-on-the-Solent, park on the sea front road and walk along the prom. (y) Sometimes stopping for a meal at the cafè on the front, lovely, great views. Really envy that new 'van feeling, enjoy. :D Now get out in it... :clap2:
