After thinking about it long and hard, reading endless posts on here, visiting endless dealers so we could sus out our ideal layout and decide on which accessories were essential and which were just pointless 'bells and whistles', we have taken the plunge and bought a second-hand Swift Sundance 590 RS.

Thanks to the Forumites we learned about the difference between MRO and MTPLA so managed to avoid the dreaded payload pitfall - one MH we were interested in would have left us with 200 kg of payload unless we travelled without water and kept the diesel level down !

So, onwards and upwards. There will no doubt be lots of questions from us for the Forum, but between you all you got us off to a flying start, so thanks for that folks. It really is appreciated.

So no doubts, best £15 you ever spent !

We only put deposit down on Friday and collect in a month's time. We getting a 10 year old Chausson with fixed bed. See my earlier post. Feeling very wobbly. Deciding now where to go first just to gain confidence. However we've started buying things ..:eek:.

Hi there............... and:welcome4:

We hope you enjoy your first motor home, we picked up our first motor home this week and went straight out to Bridgnorth to try it out and we love it!!

getting used to it is a steep learning curve, but the forum advice on here is superb
