Hi all,
Just an introduction but we are keen to get our first motorhome, we have two young daughters (4 and 1) and think it would be great to get away on a weekend and in school holidays and show them the UK and beyond. It has always been a dream of ours to get one and now is the time take the plunge.
We are actually hiring one in a couple of weeks just to confirm that we can manage the kids ok (1 year old in particular) as we were going to wait a couple of years but want to get started.
Our preference is for a rear lounge and over cab bed arrangement as we feel this would suit us best as well as the rear lounge being a safe place for our 1 year old to sleep until she can go 'up top'!
Our budget is around £30k so I know we will have to go used, 4 berth, 4 belted seats and we have seen a couple of Elddis Autoquest 145's which seem to fit the bill although we are in the north east and the bulk are a long way south!
I would be interested if anyone could suggest any other models from experience and also give some opinions on the Elddis motorhomes.
Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to building knowledge via the forum.

5 berth, with 4 seatbelts as we have already taken one of the grandkids, aged 10 years, we chose over cab bed, as is great storage when just me and hubby, are away, have dinette which becomes a double ( check that an adult can fit on it) then we have a long sofa which can widen to make the 5th bed, suits our needs( for the budget we had), hymer camp 546....some have drop down bed in other hymer models, good luck enjoy your search?

Good luck with your motorhome search. I’m sure you’ll all love motorhome life, especially the children.
