Didn't someone on here have a rogue N+B that electrocuted itself ????

High price does not guarantee perfection.

If you are spending that much we saw a van this size where the back dropped down and a FIAT 500 reversed out.

Can't help Mo, but if you are looking at that type of van don't rule out the Burstner Elegance.

A seriously nice bit of kit:thumb:

So if Mo asks " Are they any good?"

Your reply is " Are they any good?"

I can help like that too Mo::bigsmile:

Saw one of those at the "Marjal" rally.... but it was a "Concorde" (No not the plane, before some says :winky:)..

Nice bit of kit,,,, the smart was driven onto tracks and strapped down,,, then hydraulics lifted the whole lot up and dragged it all inside.. :thumb:

Sorry,,,,, don't know how to do chat... :Sad::Blush:

Do PM`s if you like..

Don't worry me, who see`s the answers as long as it`s not belittling any dealer..

We are thinking of a new one or perhaps a few months to 1 year old at most..

That way the original buyer has paid the full VAT, and any problems should have been sorted...

Thanks..

That's true

Problem is that with the average age of motorhome owners, not only have they paid the VAT but wet the bed ::bigsmile:

arto rapido

Hi Mo
We bought a 2005 Niessman & Bischoff Arto 69 P last year with 14,500 miles on the clock.

We are very happy with the quality of the finishes & the layout. Also using in the Winter, the insulation.

We're in the Vendee at the moment & had what we thought was an over heating problem, but it seems like a Temperature Sensor issue ( looks like a common Fiat fault).

There is a cracking N&B for sale at Euro Commercials Cardiff with a MAN 4.5 engine but overpriced with VAT.

Travelworld always seem to have a good selection & we've found them good to deal with having bought two previous Motorhomes from them.

Hope this is some help
