Advice on what to buy please

Sorry forgot Adria but their Altea is very basic and the others are very heavy and 8 ft wide which would be daunting first time. They have a good reputation but came third behind Sprite and Venus in this years PC customer satisfaction survey which might suggest standards have slipped but I do no know for sure.

Very happy with our Bailey ranger 550/6, the layout suits us and its not too big. They are also at a reasonable price second hand, parts available. I cannot fault this layout. We dont make up the front double, the bench seats are long enough to sleep on :) The kids love the bunks, the side dinette means the kids can get out of bed and eat without the need to make up a table. Brilliant I think.
