British on a Fiat. Well I think it was British being an autotrail but I don't think Fiat are built here. The most thing I wanted was a hymer as it is winterised but couldn't find the layout we wanted so went for British. Happy so far until the winter that is. An excuse to go south for the winter.


Our Bailey has heated waste and fresh water tanks and we have MH'd in the depths of a British and Belgian winter with no ill effects .

Well we bought a French Trigano built Challenger as we live there,lots of snags and build quality not great.
However the Transit 2.2 150bhp with 385 newtons is a cracker of an engine!,so will be a keeper.:sneaky:

Started off with a German A class fully winterised with heated floor etc.

No matter how toasty my feet were I couldn't live with the layout ( fixed bed) so went British.

I don't have a single regret and @Johns_Cross_Motorhomes have really looked after us.(y)

While those manufacturing C Classes have got a bit better at incorporating the cab area into the living space, you really can't beat an A class for living space in given length. And you are right a British A class, is there such a beast these days?

Only one by RS and it is huge almost as big as an RV, and the hab door is on the wrong side for an A Class only one in the world with the hab door on the LHS.:)
