Has anyone got or has had an Autocruise Valentine (w) reg Motorhome on a Peugeot Boxer any info would be grateful as we might be going to view it and it’s down Morecambe thanks in advance
 
Hey Jeannette,,
Oooo exciting for you,,
Can’t comment on the Habitation model side, But The Nest is on a Boxer 320 Chassis & I have found it Fine, I would suggest having a good look at the Earth point & the Battery Trey (Bot of which are on the Drivers side Wheel Arch area) as it attracts water & therefore Rust on mine, Also look at where the cab meets the Habitation on the Chassis.
Good luck, & hope it’s what you want

This is the one NZ and hopefully it’s the one 3E9A42A6-FF6F-42BB-BB23-F3CD379552F8.jpg
 
Autocruises of that era were made by the same people who went on to briefly produce Bentleys. Many of the designs within them are similar. I think that most Bentley owners are very satisfied with their vans.
Good luck with your search.
 
Fingers crossed it's the one for you Jeanette. It looks lovely, perfect size for two and not too big for parking.
 
We have an 05 Autocruise Starquest it’s slightly larger than the valentine we have had our van five years and not had any trouble at all, the earlier Autocruise were very well made and far superior to the ones made by swift who took them over in 2006. I’m sure you will love it as much as we do ours.
 
There was supposed to be a couple going to view it but they haven’t turned up as yet,so hopefully we get the phone call to say come and see it!! It looks really nice judging by the photos!
 
Boxer 320m base vehicle

Hi Carol I have 3 Boxer 320M Motorhomes all Autosleeper and over the years I have found that in some cases water can get onto the gearbox via the heater air vent worth checking. First, third and fith gears will need a good check so a decent test drive of around 10 miles should be done. Clutch. put hand brake on then into first and see if there is any slip the pedal must be biteing around no higher than half way up. Good luck they are a great base.

Do you know the dimensions, Jeanette? It looks quite compact.

Sorry to be so long in answering you but we have been today to view it but sadly the benches were to small for us as we wanted two longer seats if we wanted to have two singles or the option of a double because I don’t sleep well as I go to bed later than Malcolm,from what we saw it was a clean and tidy van it would have done for a single person or a couple who have the same bedtime lol. There was a couple there looking at it when we got there and they were waiting to see if we bought it,
