Bought ourselves a new motorhome!
It's a Burstner tl Ixeo 680G pretty much the same as this one http://www.cotswoldmotorcaravans.co.uk/vehicles/N2459 Click on the pic for further images.
We picked it up today from Oaktree Motorhomes in Nottingham and I can honestly say they were superb from start to finish - so unlike the majority of MH dealers we have come across. We really can't praise them highly enough
We talked down the asking price by £4k and upped the trade in by another £1k on the bloody awful Bessacarr which I am deliriously happy to get rid of! We also got 3 years RAC warranty which pretty much covers everything, it includes unlimited claims to a maximum of £2k per claim. All in all we got a good deal methinks.
Driving back in the Burstner we have already noticed how much quieter it is and I mean a LOT quieter but for me the biggest advantage is the floor to ceiling garage, it's huge. The bathroom is the full width of the MH and is more than spacious enough to use as a dressing room. We are equally pleased with the space in the kitchen and habitation area I guess it helps that we are a vertically challenged.
Some of you may remember on another thread where I stated that I wouldn't have an electric drop down bed after seeing the same model MH where the bed refused to behave. The bed in the new MH has built in easy access to a winding point should it ever need to be raised or lowered manually, this can be done with a drill or with a wheel/key with a hex bit attached. My good neighbor is making the wheel/key for me.
There is a 100w solar panel but it is a sticky-on, stuck to the curved roof section, not ideal. We are looking to uprate the solar capacity fairly soon.
Anyway, you can probably guess that we are reet chuffed with the MH and we will no doubt be begging for advice on various modifications and add on's we have planned.
N.B. To Baz [Molly2] bring your hiking boots, we'll go for a trek around the MH garage.
