Roller Team 747

[TDJ]

Hi Everyone. My wife and I are currently looking to buy a motor home with seating at the rear. We have looked at the roller team 747 and was impressed. Any ideas on other vans? I am willing to pay 50k cash for the right van so it’s got to be right for us. Do we go manual or automatic ? Looking for a six berth van
Thanks Everyone

Hi and welcome.

50k will buy a decent pre owned motorhome with a rear lounge.

However, getting hold of new or pre owned at the moment may influence your choice of brand.
Good luck in your search.
One final point, you need to look closely at the available payload for 6 people., you will need a fair bit.

As above you also need to check if you require 6 seat belts as that will cut the list right down.

*** Plus you will probably need a C1 on your licence***

The 747 has an advertised payload of 450 kgs. Realistically that is going to be 350 kgs before you get the driver in, never mind the passenger, awning, extra battery, clothing, cutlery, food then the extra 4 passengers so thinking about uprating is basically a MUST.

The bad news is that just on the Fiat chassis you can only go up to 3,650 without having to add other expensive things and that just isnt enough for 6 people on holiday, but at least you can use it as a car for 6 at that weight. (if you have C1)

Weight is paramount for you. You will not get a 6 berth motorhome under 3500 kgs that is legal and stay under 3500 kgs and use it for its intention.
