Hi, just signed up, I haven't got my motorhome yet, but I'm lookin as we speak. I'm not new to living in vans, I spent two years with my girlfriend (now wife) living in a Ford Escort van, I went from that to a 28ft American Ford E350, but being a 7.3 litre V8, I didnt go far in it ! It was a mobile NHS waiting room to begin with. I lived in that for a year. After that I moved into a home made of bricks where I have lived for six years. I bought a VW T5 to convert into a camper but have since had a child so I sold the T5 on ebay last week. I'm now looking for a Talbot Highwayman, or something similar. I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you can help me with though.
Firstly, I'm spending about £3500, so that equals approx 1988-90ish, should I go for the diesel, or (remembering how lame early small engine diesels were) should I go petrol?
Secondly, what should I be paying special attention to when viewing this type of vehicle?
Anything else you have to tell me would also be much appreciated.
Regards
Monty
