First post here, good evening all.
After many years of talking about buying a motorhome we have finally decided to bit the bullet and get on with it. But sadly I am struggling to find the perfect van, I am hoping someone can make some suggestions.
Firstly a bit about us. We are a family of four, myself, wifey and two boys (7+9). We all love spending time in the great outdoors doing quite a bit of mountain biking, running, walking etc etc. We dream of being able to throw a few things and bikes in a motorhome on a Friday evening and driving up the Lake district and having a couple of fantastic days playing then heading back on Sunday.
We also like camping in France, so at least once a year our future motorhome will cross the channel towards the alps or the south coast.
All normal stuff I guess.
Anyway I am struggling to find many motorhomes that will meat our requirements. Ideally what we want is:
- At least 4 berth, ideally with a bed over the cab and two bunks (our boys are early risers, we are not!)
- I like the idea of a garage to put bikes in when travelling. Motorhomes where the lower bunk folds up makes sense for that. But it is not essential.
-Air conditioning - yes bit of a luxury but it makes driving through France in the summer far nicer.
- less than £20,000
The options I have found so far have been a Broken Link Removed. Looks nice but I don't know much about that make.
Or maybe a Broken Link Removed 7 - which looks nice
Or a Hymer B544 (which does not really meet my requirements, but I like the quality (and resale value!!)
We are not after luxury, simple is better.
What do you think, any ideas?
Thanks
