Hi all and nice to meet you. We are Dave and Joanne early 50"s live in Buckinghamshire.
I bought a Hymer 694 about 20 years ago and spent 7 months in it round Europe with the ex and our baby (now 21)
Decided to get back into Motorhoming and have just bought a 2010 twin tag 6 berth Auto-trail Arapaho which we pick up in Nov from Cleveland Motorhomes, This year plan to stay in UK and attend rallies etc to learn the ropes.
A couple of quick questions if i may
1. Where should i buy hook up cable (25m), water hose, water roller, etc?
2. With the van being 8.7m long would a motorhome sat nav such as Avtex Garmin 2 be a worthwhile purchase so we can tell it our dimensions and avoid small lanes?
3. Are Duvalay toppers to use for sleeping in rear lounge be worth the premium price
4. Having a 150 solar panel fitted and inverter so Mrs can use hair dryer, slow cooker, etc - any particular inverter style worth it - someone told me for a 240v hairdryer a flat line system not as good as a wavy one?
5. Has a sky box in the cab - do i need a new sky subscription - i already have Sky at home so could i just take my existing card
Many thanks
