good poll.... interesting results so far..
our motorhome was bought 2nd hand the reason being, went on holiday last year tugging our much loved donkeys years old van, whilst away realised it was finally well past it's best, hubby spent half the holiday trying to 'fix things'. So towards the end of the holiday decided it was time for it to go...so should we go for the cheaper option of a new van or just 'bite the bullet' and go for the motorhome which we had planned to do in a few years time. In the end i just said to hubby to imagine if we had the money in our pocket to pay for either which would he want...he said m/home so that was it, we came home from holiday on the Saturday on the Sunday went to a local dealer, looked at both 2nd hand & new m/homes in the same price bracket and what sealed it was the build quality & fixtures & fittings were so much better in our price range in the 2nd hand model we bought, it's on a 07 plate. We had no preconceived ideas on the layout /model we wanted just went for the one that 'felt right'. So have borrowed a shed load of money from a nice bank man unfortunately will take a good few years to pay him back !! but we both work fulltime so thought why wait for the m/home..... and do we use it much ?oh yes! have not had a weekend at home since about the middle of March & today I got to drive it home for the 1st time had been dithering about driving it but so glad i gave it a go......sorry have rambled a bit but just wanted to say that sometimes you just have to 'go for it'!!
