We have a 20 year old Swift Royale. We bought her 2 years ago to see if we like motorhoming - we do!!!
We are wondering whether to upgrade a little now. We would want to buy one around £23,000. We only do about 3000 miles per year. Here is the quandary - the Swift had mechanical problems but they are all sorted now and these last few months we have had trouble free trips - also she is as dry as a bone so we are fairly confident that we could run her for the next few years without any major repairs. At the price we want to pay it would be possible to inherit problems that we don't have now, but get a more up to date looking van.
Is it worth changing it? I have looked at a few on Autotrader just to see what we would get for this money (must have a rear lounge) and I like the look of them, but can't decide.
What are the thoughts of you more experienced funsters?
