The new fiver.

[Snowbird]

Finally got round to a photo of the new mode of transport. It has one slide with the couch and fridge freezer and towed by a Dodge Ram 1500 with 200litre LPG tank. Herself loves it, but am not quite sure about it yet. It is a handy size for touring and just about big enough for long terming.

You have already vandalised a classic lawnmower with your graffiti. You are not Banksey by any chance are you ?.

Nice rig.. but if I'm honest Dave.. don't understand why you sold the RMB and trailer.. it was a dream outfit..


I think the 5er will only be an interlude..

My people tell me there is a rather fetching Iveco selfbuild with real parquet flooring for sale down Portugal way.

I'm not much of a gambler myself, but I'll have a punt on that one please Jim.

A nice looking 5'er though Dave.

To help with the odds of how long I will keep it. I fetched the cart part on Sunday morning last, although I had been using the donkey part since before Christmas. As I was putting the cart on my pitch there were 4 Belgians watching my excellent driving and manoeuvring skills. I was levelling the thing whilst pat was carrying stuff from the RMB. The next thing, one of the Belgians came over and said he had a Ram in Belgium and would love a fifth wheel. I wont repeat what Pat said when I told her to stop what she was doing, as I think I have sold it. At that point I had owned it for all of 30 minutes.

Your guess is as good as mine Terry. I wasn't looking for the fiver, it just came along at the right money. What I can say is though, it will have to be something very special after owning two RMBs.

 

[Judge Mental]

I had demountables for years...the attraction of having a pick up truck to use when you drop of the camper somewhere very attractive!

 

[Terry]

That's where I am at the moment Dave -looking for something at the right money
Got my eye on a 2008 Crafter ambulance but it's done 300k -does not bother me but I am thinking of who else would buy a van with that mileage come selling time - then I keep coming back to a Ducato type van and yet again how new do I go ?If I bought new I am into the unknown come sale time -how much could I get for it /how much would someone pay for it -If I stick to a budget of selling around 15/18k I may find more buyers -who knows ? so I will wait until something jumps out at me

I find that there are two kinds of motorhome buyers. There are the ones that must have a recent number plate, and then the other kind that must have twin rear wheel drive, a large garage and quality fittings. The ones that must have the recent number plate go to a dealer. The ones that appreciate quality will buy from anyone if the price is right and its what they want, regardless of age or mileage. Myself, I would always prefer an old Rolex to a new Timex.
