Considering moving from a caravan to a PVC.
Looking at the following models:-
Auto-Sleepers Warwick XL (6.36 x 2.5m).
Auto-Trail V-Line 610 with 130ps engine upgrade (5.99 x 2.51m).
Would very much appreciate advice on the pros and cons of these manufacturers, especially quality and reliability. Would also welcome any advice generally on the best choice of vehicle. Bear in mind we have no motor-home experience whatever.
Favour PVC versus coach-built MH because of narrower width and perhaps better manoeuvrability on Scottish one-track roads, small ferries, stores, parking etc. Have chosen 2-berth, 2-travel-seat models with 6'3" lengthwise double/twin bed configuration for flexibility, ease of access, ease of make-up and ability to leave made-up.
Our caravanning is hitherto long stays on sites in the Scottish Highlands and then driving to outdoor locations. Would now like to do longer journeys, with more and shorter stops, a chore with a caravan. Would still like to have the ability to drive from site to other locations as easily as possible, hence interest in a PVC as a compromise between a caravan/car and a coach-built MH, if that makes sense.
Look forward to members advice, especially if my ideas are misguided. Tell it like it is. I will not be offended. You may save me from doing the wrong thing. Thanks in advance, Dave
