Hi Everyone
I hope you can clarify a few things for me. We have on order an Apache 632 due for delivery in March, we have previously had caravans.
1. What 'extras' do you suggest we get? We have ordered engine upgrade to 2.8, rear ladder, solar panels (as we rarely go where there is hookup) and media pack.
2. Any other useful items you have found for use with a motorhome? eg. silver screens, door locks etc
3. What is the best storage system you have found? Eg. roof box, back box etc.
4. A BIG QUESTION...What is the built in sat nav like? I have read that there were some teething problems with some of the new ones last year...but...is it like the tomtom caravan version that doesn't direct you down little lanes etc? Does it always give you sensible routes? And does it have anything like the live traffic updates?
I am hoping to be able to drive this on my own (have done test drive) and despite everyone telling me it drives like a car, I didn't find it that easy or comfortable. I found I had to sit very close to reach the dash based gear stick, which meant my legs were very cramped (hoping to be able to spend more time getting a better driving position) and reaching the handbrake was another adventure (but hopefully shouldn't need that too often)
Thanks for listening and look forward to your replies.
