moving over to a Motorhome again

Good to hear, K, glad you're not having to give up touring afterall.

Which motorhome have you got your eye on?

Hi Pliers, we are starting our search this coming weekend. there are quite a few dealers within 60 miles of our location.   I fancy something a bit smaller than our last M/h and will be looking at smaller coachbuilds and PVC's. There is no hurry as the season is nearing its end, but it is also a good time to get a good bargain ..With no tradein there will be bargains to be had.

Have a look at East Neuk. The build quality is superb.  Not flash and apparently very basic but with design quality and build integrity in spades and everything you actually need. As evidence of their drivability I drove from Debrecen in Eastern Hungary to Northern Scotland in three days. 

Best of luck with your quest wherever it may take you. 

We've had two Autosleepers and have been/are very pleased with the them - all round good quality.  We also have a good dealer near to us which, although not the only factor, did influence our original decision to buy AS

There are some good deals to be had on pre registered Auto-Sleeper motorhomes but you have be prepared to barter. 

I bought a pre reg without trade in a few months ago from Marquis with 3 year warranty. I know Marquis haven't got the best reputation but with Auto-Sleeper you can go back to the factory service dept if necessary. I have owned 6 AS motorhomes over the years mostly coach built but as I now travel alone I have bought a small panel van conversion.

Can i ask what the issues with marquis are? I have just bought a van from them and awaiting a collection date

Glad to hear your situation may have improved slightly K, best of luck with your search and hope you find what you want at the price you want... Good hunting......

When we bought our last m/v it was from Marquis but the after sales was awfull ,as they are a large company with several outlets ,it might just have been that branch,

Ps i think they are in some form of financial tie up with Autosleepers

not a fan of AS (design/style way too 'old') but give Marquis credit, they have brought Benimar back to the uk and are doing the same with Mobilvetta (lovely A-class vans) this coming season....
