We are brand new on this forum so please be gentle with me if I am posting in the wrong place. To be honest you have so many sub sections delving into the minutiae that it is bewildering to knowing where to start.
As we have yet to purchase our first motorhome then initially we would like any advice or input on our initial thoughts. Having looked at a few we liked the layout and fittings of the Autotrail 635 and a little research has shown that a second hand model is within our budget. So far so good, but this is where all the questions start. It appears that there is a choice between a Merc and a Fiat and I we would love it if you could post your opinions of the pro’s and con’s of both. We anticipate spending our time in UK and Europe and think a RHD would suit us best because the bulk of the time will be spent in UK, do you guys have any problem with RHD in Europe? Our last question might seem a bit daft but have any of you averaged out the cost of diesel / campsites / food / wine (lot’s) /other items when you are away to get an idea of the daily / weekly cost of your trips to aid planning? I know there are lots of variables here but it would be nice to look in the wife’s wallet and work out roughly how many days away we could get from this before I have to send her out to work again.
All the Best
