Since 2005 this time
It's the Economy M/h, Good as a starter, We got one, It's got everything we need, and most things the more expensive ones have, Shower,Bog, 4burner Hob, Fixed Bed, seat belts, extra Double Bed, Fridge to keep the Beer warm, 1,9 Donkey (if you know how to use your gearbox that's no problem) 26mpg, we've added a few bits like Tv Jacks and LEDs.

If you like pissing in a field then add Solar panels & Generator, If you Misses can't be bothered to get off her chuff and you can't use your mirrors, then add a Reversing Camera.

Just because it's "budget":Angry: Doesn't mean it's not any good, that's just Snob Value:Angry:

You get out! What you put in!!! We get a lot of pleasure out of our "BUDGET" M/H

We had a Carioca 746 untill just before Xmas for 3 years, as mentioned above its a budget end van but we enjoyed it and had as good a time as anyone else. not a winterised van though in any way. we fitted a few extras that made life more comfortable.
