Over the last few months we have been picking funsters minds of which was the best replacement van suitable for our needs. We thought we would like to down size from our Hymer 7.40 in length to a PVC. Many of you offered quite good advice on the wrongs and rights of a PVC. We looked at Rapido V68, Dreamer, Adria Twin and few others. We ordered a Twin which we liked BUT had not seen in the flesh. Managed to see a Twin and realised that a PVC was not for us so cancelled and received our deposit back.
I reckon we looked at dozens of dealers in the South and Midlands saw one we liked in a dealers in the Midlands , but were put off by “cocky” salesman “take it or leave it “ attitude, his attitude was some one else’s gain!. Then we visited a dealer we had never heard of in Hampshire called Harbour Creek. They could have not more helpful , no pushie salesman left to our own to look and ask questions which were answered correctly. What did we end up with.? We are at an age when we don’t need a lot in our life so we bit the bullet VERY VERY HARD and bought a Carthago Malibou coach built 6.99 in length and had everything we need , twin beds, massive garage , double floor and loads of storage and most important EXCELLENT quality.
Lots of vans have on the back “ spending the kids inheritance ”. we will putting on the back of the van “not spending the kids inheritance we’ve spent all on this van”. Van is in stock but been held up with the slow DVLA.
Thanks everybody for their advice etc.
