Thanks to Jim for the welcome!
We're Steve [me] & Elaine, hoping to purchase a new motorhome whilst there's still stock available in UK. We'll be moving from about 2 years caravan experience [Gobur Folder [still owned] then a 'vintage' 2 berth Swift [still owned] that is about 16 years old.
We have no knowledge of motorhomes, apart from watching wistfully as they start their packdown long after us and then depart gracefully about an hour before we get the caravan ready to go.
We are looking at an unregistered Sunlight T60 Active so that we can carry 2 bikes in the garage and can use a wind out canopy instead of an awning etc, to 'travel light' but in a degree of comfort in our dotage. We found a Practical Motorhome Review of the 2017Sunlight that described it as a 'Budget model for the less well heeled' which was strangely comforting.
We hope to use the Sunlight to travel to France [+ Spain for Winter Sun] for 6-8 weeks to spend lazy days on quiet sites, cycling for shopping and local sightseeing and getting fit again. The simple life in comfort, but not surrounded by bling and gizmos galore. We use a Remoska for self catering to cope with my picky eating/dietary regime aftr a heart attack in Spain in January 2020.
We would love to hear from anyone who has advice on what to do/not to do, and especially from anyone who has used a T60. We need to drain our lake of ignorance before we can get a pool of knowledge. 'Ignorance on wheels' is our starting point.
Elaine is more reserved than me, but neither of us take life seriously unless we are obliged to do so.
Cheers.
Steve & Elaine
P.S. We will be subscribing

can't hep with your query, but we bought an 'entry level' van for our first and only changed it after nearly 5 years because we, (well John) A Wanted to carry a motorbike and B) we didn't really need 6 berths any more also wanted some storage accessed from the outside.
and
, it wouldn’t stop me buying another one 
And, when it comes to motorhomes, many ex-caravanners try to replicate the layout of their caravan, whereas the motorhome will be probably be used in a different way.
