Best mh to live in

[Neilcurtis101]

Hi all, my wife and I are selling everything to live in and tour in a motorhome. Looking to spend about £50000 and would like an island bed and a nice size lounge area. Any recommendations please? Thanks Neil and shaz

What did you think of the motorhomes you have been on holiday in so far , how did they fit in with your type of life ?

 

[Neilcurtis101]

We haven't been able to find the perfect one we enjoyed the British lay out but not the rattles

 

[Ivory55]

Don’t think that there is a perfect one, there will always be a compromise.

Unless anyone knows different, they all rattle to some extent. Although the ovens installed in most Brit vans can be particularly noisy.

We do like the layout of the bailey 730 autograph

Is that why the "continentals" don't fit them ?

You need plenty of payload for sure and don't make the mistake of getting the biggest one you see.

If you are living in it permanently I think you will need a dedicated fixed bed that has been designed as a bed, not a settee that can be turned into a bed. Pain to make up and never as comfortable as a real bed with springs.

Have you checked the payload?

Remember vans over 3500kg you need a C1 on your licence.

If I was going to live in a van I would want something that was built like a brick outhouse, maybe that is why ours doesn't rattle, although we don't have an oven

Yeh we have c1 on our licenses

I would say a comfortable van with island bed and a nice lounge will of course have a decent bathroom and kitchen so it is going to be at least 8.5 metres but more likely over 9 metres, are you OK with this or are you looking for smaller.

No but that is why the continentals don't rattle

Your question is far too open and wide and sounds to me that you have ot done enough research.

So my answer to the question'Best MH to live in?' would be 'the one you have researched well to fit your needs and desires'

I suggest starting with the type of places you wish to stop - campsites, Aires/Stellplatz, wildcamping etc. Then the countries and climates you wish to visit. These basic questions affect choices of payload, tank capacity, whether winterised etc. Yes layout is important but follows from some of the answers above.

It is no good being on a tranquil beach somewhere and finding you have run out of water or driving in southern Spain and realising you should have had aircon in the cab.

Research,research, research.

Then the answer to your question will be clear for what you want - it will not be the same as for others answering on here.

Neilcurtis101 You have run out of free posts I am afraid. You will be able read but can't post anything until you pay subscriptions. They are the best £15 I ever pay each year.

Having had American RVs and now have a German A class, to full time live aboard I would always go for an RV with slideouts, room to really relax and the comforts of home for far less money than an equivalent eurovan.
