Hi Mandrake.
Thanks for the interest, was running the 400ci engine on a TMH400 box when these pics were taken, about 8 mpg, but I dont hang about. Have fitted 6.2 diesel lump since, same box, and got 15 mpg this year on tour around Europe. TMH400 is a strong box but is a bit power hungry and not particularly economical.

Regards Geoff.​

Hi.
All I can say is keep looking I'm sure one will turn up. We bought ours last year to spend a month in Europe with a 11yr old son and a 6mth old daughter, the smaller they are the more room they need. We spent an age looking at all sorts of European stuff, and don't some folk advertise some right c**p as good condition, but couldn't find anything within our small budget that had enough room, after traveling all over the place we found ours 40 mls down the road, private sale not ebay, to be honest most of the real c**p we saw was on ebay and got wary after a while.
On the fuel consumption issue if you are running a 350ci (5.7) with a THM350 or later 700R4 (4 speed) gearbox realistic overall MPG would be 11-12. Quite honestly I think that claims of 15-16 MPG or sometimes more are just that, "claims", unless you want to drive at 35-40 MPH.
Hope this might be usefull to you and good luck with the search,this is probably the best time of the year to look.

Regards Geoff.​
 
I dont think there is such a thing as a consummate motorhome.
I made the choice to downsize to a panel van conversion, but still miss the interior space of my coachbuilt, but like the practicalities of a smaller vehicle.
Stangely though, as my vans get smaller my bikes get bigger.
