Having started our motorhoming with a large C class, Autotail Dakota, then downsized to a PVC when I became disabled. We needed something I found easier to move about in and which Mrs Norfolk was happy to drive. We have now reached the stage everyone tells you when you start out. It takes at least three vans before you find the right one for you.
I have now regained a lot of mobility and need something with more space to move around in, we still want the compactness on the outside of a PVC though. We came across the Hymer ML T a compact narrow coachbuilt, which seemed to tick the boxes for what we wanted. Only thing was that from a starting price of around £86k, by the time you put the options which we would need on it the price was nearer £120k and the wait at the moment is into 2024. We then happened to come across the Weinsberg CaraCompact which had pretty much the same spec and layout as the Hymer. It’s on the Merc chassis with the 170hp engine and 9 speed auto. It’s left the factory and on the way to the dealers. It has already been spec’d with all the extras we would want, oven, solar, LPG, carpets etc. And it’s just over £80k, that’s around £40k less than the Hymer.
I have read a fair few reviews and they are all positive. It’s said to be well built with quality materials. Does anyone on here own one, and have any comments about them. We have put a deposit down and are viewing it next week to really confirm, but views of funsters with experience of them would be appreciated.
