BLOODY LOVELY,,,
I presume that you're off abroad with your new Home !
What's your intentions.

 

[The laird]

Looks a very nice bit of kit.

 

[Pauljenny]

Good luck !

You can have a free pitch near our cottage .

We'll have to cut down a few trees and straighten out a couple of bends in the lane ...... And knock down the house next door.

Better give us a couple of weeks notice .

Looks good to me, is that a eurocargo if so you're not alone

Very nice!! What size Daf is it? I'm looking at getting one to convert in the new year,been looking at 45/150 or 160.

 

[Obanboy666]

Very nice for full timing but imho totally unpractical for visiting most places I frequent like Cumbrian villages, northern Scotland, and virtually anywhere in the uk for that matter.

 

[El Veterano]

It's a race transporter, used for the likes of motocross etc. Nothing wrong with that, just a tad on the large side.

It's a Renault Midlum 5 litre 7.5 tonnes the overhang won't bother me I'm an HGV driver and it was purpose built as a motorhome and the garage was built to take a trike or smart car and we love it

Nice looking MH, you`ll be fine in the north of scotland with your driving experience, some folk think they collect the refuse bins with wheel barrows up here. Not that it looks like a refuse truck, enjoy your travels.

I also drive rigids,take them down country lanes with mirrors touching the hedgerows on both sides,and I go into most campsites in East Dorset and the New Forest. People don't seem to realise it makes no difference if you're driving an HGV or a mini,if the road is too narrow then one party will have to reverse,and its often easier in a truck with better rear vision,cameras etc.

That's a big machine, get the car onboard. Only problem with a van that big is my mother-in-law might want to join in!!!

Wow

It's massive where's your house gone you'll have some fun in that very exciting

 

[harrow]

wait for the dithering car driver:banana:

I have trouble going forwards let alone going backwards.

I must say in comparison to where I live going down the narrow lanes in west wales was a pleasure, where I live they want to stab you, in west wales its all smiles and happy waves :wave:

 

[ironkerton]

What a lovely van! And its definitely bigger than my flat. More pics please!
