What Motorhome is best?

[Obanboy666]

Should have pointed him towards the SWIFT Range .. :danger:

Lots of bells and whistles .. Along with electrical gremlins, badly fitting trim, seat covers, square wheels on the microwave, water leaks, broken door stay and various other screws that fell out on our travels.

One of the features was the Aldi Heater under the bed. Bed got so hot you had to switch the heating off an hour before you went to bed and if you put it on in the morning you had to get up as it was just to hot.

..

I must have been lucky with mine, apart from Swift changing the window seals which they did quickly with great customer service I have had no problems since buying new 2 years ago. I will certainly consider another Swift motorhome when I decide to change / upgrade. It's been a pleasure to own and is as good as the day I bought it.
i reckon they are no worse or better than all the other manufacturers including the 'be all and end all' Hymer.
A friend of a friend recently had a major damp issue on his 4 year old Hymer, £4,000 repair bill.

Go to a Dealership near you

Just have a good look round.
We visited 4 dealerships over a 1 year period.
Revisited our local one several times and eventually purchased a LUNAR Premier H622.
Also look on line and ebay for ideas prices etc

It suits us
1 Rear fixed bed (double)
2 Bathroom with fully self-contained shower
3 Kitchen and lounge/dining area nice and light and airy.
4 Swivel seats
5 good locker space
6 Low Profile
7 7m long

disadvantages
No garage for bikers but quite a good garage under the bed accessible from inside or outside
Plenty of room for
Tables, chairs, windbreak, BBQ, suitcase, Power leads, hose, watering can, Tools etc

Do you plan to travel a lot...consider
Gasit or Gaslow
Solar panel
Both can be added later but will incur a cost .

There is also an important consideration regarding width.
Our Lunar is quite wide Panel van conversions are narrower so a bit easier to manoeuvre/drive but less room inside

I agree with the suggestion that hiring is a good idea and suggest you "decide on a layout" and then try to hire a similar vehicle
