So

we’re going to the NEC on thursday, we’ll be there a max of 6 hours possibly less looking to spend (maybe) £225000 less PX
on an A Class

1. max 8mtrs

2. Not white (silver)

3. 2 berth (poss 4) so 4 belts

4. Island bed (poss singles)

5. double floor but don’t want to have to climb a staircase to get in/out

6. big garage for folding elec bikes, chairs,table but no high bed inside

7. Must be auto and poss Merc but not essential so Iveco or something else

8. enough roof room for 600w min solar

This will poss be our last motorhome so good build quality with no shitty dealer backup service would be nice

Dealer max 2 hours but pre preferred less from West Yorks, is their any good dealers out there ???

Can you think of anything else and i’m not a fan of the TV in the hab door entrance either

cheers
Al

PS. Val will not entertain rouffle leather so has to be nice n smooth

Take a look at these car seats where the leather looks like it’s sagged and they’ve tried to stitch it tight again

In our opinion it’s a 70’s look, others may love it but we don’t

or this one is a Liner for 2 i53 rear lounge 😟

Al n Val Carthago’s Performance leather option tends to have less ‘rouffles’ than the standard leather.

But do they have a no rouffles option, 🤔

honestly no rouffles no Carthago, it really is that in a nutshell for us 😟

Me, I'd be looking at an Arto with 'breeze oak' furniture, 'Temptation' leather. Then add a few toys.

We went to the Carthago factory in Germany last month and i’d have put money down on the Liner for 2, but it had rouffle leather and a china cabinet for gods sake.

Who the feck wants a china cabinet, my mam chucked hers out 40 yrs ago lol so unless they bring me a modern looking one i’m not interested 🤣

Apart from that it was nice 👍
Yeah we went over and had a look at the factory a few months ago . I must admit it was impressive . We are considering purchasing one however, my main worry is apparently getting spare parts is a nightmare and that also makes warrenty claims lengthy 🤦‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Lots but slow learner.
Got a 8mt Bailey you can have for a bit less, well it ticks one of your boxes.
Good luck finding what you want.

Blimey £225000.
I think that there should be an elevated forum for that much money.
