Hi - what do we think of this? Spotted it on eBay, meets my criteria for a new van. It's an 800 mile round trip for us to view it though, so we'd have to be pretty sure that it was a contender! Having now viewed several damp and smelly motorhomes the two visible air fresheners have me on high alert for problems, but maybe they just like the scent of them!

I didn't think the Advance range was available in 2014? I guess this must have been a prototype built on the previous Peugeot model chassis.

Aha! First production models were sold in April 2015. So, is the prototype an oddity or a great deal?

One can only think that the build would be spot on.

If your interested could you not get someone local to give it the once over?

I can't see how it's possibly a six-berth? Is the overcab a bed too? Looks very cramped up there!

*edit* just noticed the 'drop down electric bed' - what an unusual design!

That would be really helpful, but I don't know anyone in the area.

You're amongst friends here :) start a new thread to ask for someone local (y)

Im sure if some one is reasonably close beer tokens would help towards a viewing :D

Yes! Should have taken it out for the photos! To me a sign that all is not well?

Hah don't read too much into that we have a fresher in ours, might have something to do with my ablutions though.
Couldn't be SWMBO :)

Just thought there is a rally at Shepton thats reasonably close to Radstock :D

Hello, that is a good idea, hadn't imagined someone would do that, lovely to know.

It's here, I think.

Which part of the forum would be best to post the request in, do you think?

Thanks

Looks a nice van. We looked at one like this a few years ago but I was put off by the lack of external access lockers.

Lack of external storage is a consideration, I agree. Budget and perfection for us don't match so compromises are required. Everything we've managed to look at so far has been too much of a compromise - mainly due to damp issues. Would rather have to go inside to put our outdoor chairs away than have a leaky van!

I don't think budget and perfection match for most folk unless you are wealthy and get one made to spec. Everything is a compromise and eyes are your merchant no matter the make.(y)

Hmm... Radstock, a lot of big eared boys down that way. If you hear banjo music keep driving. :)

I would willingly have taken a look but off to France early Sat, and many non motorhome things to be done first
