Not if a dodgy bloke in a Carthago is close by.Into park, switch off, kettle on, biscuits out and then jacks down for us
Definitely not, have to scout the area as that bugger comes out of the bushesNot if a dodgy bloke in a Carthago is close by.
You’re correct as I haven’t but rode several other V twins, this is my latest.It’s a term of endearment to describe a Harley Davidson, usually rubbished by people that’s never ridden one
Couldnt agree more Brian, we rented one in NZ and it was awful, if the weathers not good your stuck looking inwards, trying to see through dirty side windows and because they more upright its difficult to lounge and there's nowhere in most of them for the scooter etc to go.
I dont either, unless they are actually a van - PVCI wouldn’t exactly call them vans.
Did you try the 4 or 6 cylinder?
Looks like it’s the Merc then MartinSo today was the day, an appointment with a bank balance busting Loft Liner on 4 cylinder Eurocargo, sorry WESTY66 ours won’t be on the market anytime soonJen did say I could have one if I wanted
but she wasn’t coming with me
I know jongood and Dutch 68 amongst others were not convinced about the Eurocargo so now is you chance to say “told you so”compared to our Palace on the Daily chassis it was certainly “agricultural” I know this had more torque but our Daily feels a lot more sporty and sprints through the 8 speed box like a knife through butter, the ride on the Eurocargo was not as composed as ours with full air and active damping, interesting exercise though that had to be done.
To be fair it’s made me realise I never wanted to be a truck driver and a Daily is good enough for me, just need to see what’s new at DüsseldorfLooks like it’s the Merc then Martin
I’m told big changes but no more than that.
New door, step, fridge and oven manufacturers would be a good start
They told you that because they re missing you there MartinTo be fair it’s made me realise I never wanted to be a truck driver and a Daily is good enough for me, just need to see what’s new at Düsseldorf
No can do clashes with Goodwood.They told you that because they re missing you there Martin
which with Morelo is almost certainly true for me 
but out of curiosity how much do the coach built units start from please
Bear in mind you need to add a minimum of £50k in options to get a liveable spec, you could easily double that.I know that if you need to ask you almost certainly can’t afford it
Hi David, as Lenny says nobody would order a standard van so I guess around £300k by the time you have some sensible options.I know that if you need to ask you almost certainly can’t afford it
Its a nightmare David, so many choices, you can get into serious numbers very quickly,probably before you're totally sure what you orderd, albeit possibly not always a 5 year processI know that if you need to ask you almost certainly can’t afford it
As long as you order some basics like model and chassis you then have plenty of time to firm up the details, you can even go out to the factory and sit down with one of their sales guys going through all the different options upholstery colours etc etc. Lots of things can be added later of course and now that I know the standard of work four dealers tech guy I would happily let him add more batteries and solar etc.Its a nightmare David, so many choices, you can get into serious numbers very quickly,probably before you're totally sure what you orderd, albeit possibly not always a 5 year process
I asked Andreas if they had fixed the door problems and he said yes but didn’t sound convincedNew door, step, fridge and oven manufacturers would be a good start
the fridge is OK if you have a 24v chassis as they can fit Siemens fridge, what’s wrong with your step? Oh yes I remember just needs a bodge (oops sorry that’s a technical term for a bit of DIY)
Hopefully BrianWill we have anymore pictures it keeps me going
it doesn’t really start for another 9 days so I will bombard you with images then.
Annoying thing is Martin that these manufacturers know about the issues but still use sub-standard third party components for years and I don’t think it’s fair on the owners…I asked Andreas if they had fixed the door problems and he said yes but didn’t sound convinced
OK you can have these thenI can’t wait bring it on
That’s more like it lol, upgrade to 26T with rear wheel steer, more slide outs and in anthracite grey and we would get closeOK you can have these then

This is a Grand Empire on Mercedes Actros 1853 so that's 18t and 530 hp, it's only a baby though as the one that was next to him very nearly filled the pitch and they are 13 metre pitches.

Been a hot one today about 27 degrees so went for a bike ride to get some breeze, although we have been to the factory a few times we have not explored the area that much but there is loads of cycling, tracks through fields and woods or quiet roads, they all finish with a steep hill back to the Stellplatz though.
But there’s a cracking brewery at the bottom to refresh before tackling said hillOK you can have these then

We bought some powerful beers from there Martin.But there’s a cracking brewery at the bottom to refresh before tackling said hill
I reckon any big change will be in Colour Options, they keep adding colour here and there and getting away from a big white box would be a big step forward.That’s more like it lol, upgrade to 26T with rear wheel steer, more slide outs and in anthracite grey and we would get close
If you spend that kind of money then you might as well spend some more on a custom paint scheme of your choice, makes a huge difference, all those top end big white boxes don’t make sense to me
