We've just bought our first motorhome 
a 2002 Burstner T603, and we're looking forward to our first outing once we've tried a couple of nights here at home learning the systems and getting the two dogs used to the idea. It's been too hot to even contemplate sitting in a cab for pleasure.
We live over here, and have in the past done camping and also had several caravans. We hope to travel France and a bit further afield, maybe Germany or Italy.
I am a musician, hubby is retired, we also enjoy sailing on lake Cazaux.
One of the first things I'm going to have to do is tackle a really tiny bit of rot in one rear corner where the storage area is under the bed. I think it's due to water ingress from a poorly sealed rear bumper trim join. Going to get the sikaflex out to seal the join then follow some advice I already found on here. It is only the very beginning of a problem, everything feel solid inside ( we had a good look when we bought, but TBH I didn't do more than look, I should have had a poke with something sharp. My excuse, it was around 37C the day we went camper van looking - in the shade ! The van is bone dry so shouldn't be too difficult to sort, I hope. Otherwise it's in fabulous condition with all it's receipts and manuals etc and low mileage, 58,000.
