Hi all.
I am a former club member who turned my back on caravans some 7 years ago after near 20 years of UK touring.
We are currently following up some 5 years prevarication about getting a motorhome with a view to touring on the continent.
We plan to travel as a couple, only need 2 beds, fancy an A class to take advantage of that (manual, no motors thank you) drop down double bed over the cab area that leaves the lounge in play.
Don't need another bed but may have to settle for a rear single to get a decent improvement in storage.
Hired a Swift Escape 664 for a week a while back, could write a book on the experience but we were not put off.
The forum has been a help and I have followed up a few random suggestions made by members.
I aim to stay under 7 meters in length and hope that a couple of trips to the NEC over the next few days will help pin down a few options.
A few options have already fell at the wayside, avoiding vans with a love of silicon sealant, electric drop down beds are out.
I will try to inform if I have any success but I may end up with yet another year as the ace prevaricator.
By the way keep up the good work with the forum which I am slowly getting used to as far as the format goes.
