Hi, everyone, as a retired couple we are thinking of entering into the motorhome owners, after many years of package and camping holidays, we now require a more sedate way of life and think a motorhome is the way to go, so after a day at the NEC for the caravan & motorhome show we are more confused about where to start, should we "bite the bullett" and invest in a new motorhome, or purchase a good pre owned one, we would like a coachbuilt overcab version, although there will only be two of us the extra space would be handy, can any members offer good sound advice on where to start, be it either purchase, new, second hand, or hire one to see if we would enjoy the experience.

Are there any members out there selling a good version that may be interesting to us???

we have seen a 2008 Eldis autoquest 100 for about 9k, is that good ???

What can you advise

Hi all, I have managed to remove the panel that pops up for a map holder in the centre of the dash on my 2005 Ducato motorhome, now I know how it all comes apart it is easy.

The 2 torx screws on top (windscreen side) are easy to remove, & then you have to remove the radio from the pod (special removal tools may be required to get the radio out), once the radio is removed, the metal radio cage has to be removed, then you can see the 2 other torx screws holding the pod under where the radio cage was, once these other screws are out, the pod then just lifts off.

I have now removed this pod & managed to hide all the wiring for my dash cam & wireless reversing camera, with the pod replaced & radio refitted no wires on show & the flip up part with clip holds my 3.5" screen for the reversing camera, & it looks good with no unsightly wires trailing all over the dash.

Hope this may help others
