    Sold new 2021 MH after 4 months.

    Bought our MH, 5 yrs old just before covid hit, didn’t get a chance to use it, other than an odd night on the Costa driveway. Dealership rang me during the 1st release of covid restrictions to check all was well, and offered me 5K more than I’d paid, I politely refused. Same dealership, around...

    Feeling ripped off

    We’ve been deliberating over buying the newest edition as ours is probably four or five years old, and they aren cheap, so thank you for the advice, you’ve made my mind up, I won’t be replacing them.

    Motorhome Length ?

    Hi, We’ve seen a few around 7.5m and thought that length looked about right for us, our current van has quite a big overhang, so very aware of that, Does yours fit into car park spaces, such as supermarkets or pubs ?

    Hi Markd, we actually have two daughters, and their other halves, Thought we’d got rid of them when they flew the nest, but evidently not......they take it in turns to come away with us,,(we love it really) Would be nice to have more space when they visit, and would be great to accommodate all...

    Motorhome fuse problem

    It's evidently law to stop you using equipment considered dangerous whilst on the move, such as heater, oven etc, Personally I think it's a pain, but not knowledgable enough to bypass it.
