My wife has inherited a bit of money that we want to spend on a motorhome. We are going to look around some of the dealers near here and have had a look at some advertised vehicles.
We need to be able to bring the kids with us, so seating for 4 in the back with 3 point belts is essential. Are there some makes more likely to have rear passenger seating / seat belts than others?
We also want something reliable and durable, both in the base and in the quality of the conversion. Is there a big difference in the quality of the van bases used, or is it down to making sure the chassis and engine have been correctly specified? We saw a Fiat Adria Coral Sport 576 that looks to fit the bill size wise, but it does seem to have a small engine (2.2 litre) for such a big vehicle. Is this a problem in day to day use, apart from the clutch judder issue that seems to come up in all of the reviews!?
Any information / advice appreciated.
