Globecar roadscout R (1 Viewer)

This is the baby in the Globecar range.

Has anybody got one?. If you have any feedback would be welcome, especially about the storage space for two people when out on the road for 10 days or so.

Thanks

Can't really help. We have a campscout, 6.3m but the quality of build is great. Im sure the same could be said for the roadscout.

Thanks

Where did you buy yours from?

I see that you are in the Isle of man did that cause problems with servicing etc?

hi Ronidog1 I've had one for over 2 years now, best thing I ever bought.
Just the 2 of us in it but no problems. We do a mixture of camping, from music festivals to 4 months away last year taking in most of Europe.
The design is amazing, full sized double fixed bed, shower room bigger than most coach built, and small enough to fit in a supermarket parking space. The under bed storage takes everything we carry, chairs, tables, solar panel, and up to 12 X 9 litre "Really useful Boxs" for all the bits and pieces.

Sorry taking so long to reply. Missed your question. The servicing has not been too difficult, we just arrange the annual service on our way out on holiday. Nothing has gone wrong which needs any real attention.

Same as @David England we use the garage for ramps, chairs, table etc and the lockers for the everyday stuff. We've been adding to the payload since March but still have a lot of packing out bubble wrap in some cupboards and the overhead cubby. It's easily upgradeable to 3500 by JR should you wish to. £150 paper exercise

Hi, we have a Globecar globestar. 6m long with a transverse double bed , not fixed, so no garage. However we have masses of storage, more than enough for two of us and a dog (need to carry all her food with us) to travel in Europe in the early spring for 8 weeks.
Build quality is tremendous.
Ours is plated 3500k but our V5 listed it as 3300k. Quick letter to DVLA changed the V5 to match the engine plate at no cost.
The new Globecars all look tremendous - go for it and enjoy your travels.

I saw the Globecar Range for the first time at SMC a few weeks ago and I've got to admit that I was really impressed with the layouts and the build quality.

Very nice vans indeed.

All the best, (and good luck with your van selection),

Andrew
