£225,000 at the NEC

[Al n Val]

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

Hi, Your budget is just under for a decent Morello, but it's great for a Carthago, There is a great company called Premium Motorhomes based near Doncaster, they sale both of theses motorhomes, so if I was you, I would go there, and see which models you like, you could compare both makes at the same time, although the Morello is a little bit longer than 8mt, I think you can get one which is shorter, but I don't think its worth the price, with the Carthago you have a great choose of models, my wife wants the liner for two, because it has a great kitchen and lounge, it is a great model, but I would like the twin beds at the back, but it is what the wife wants, I am still holding back, good luck and hope you find what your looking for.

Hi Al
Well I have just come back from viewing a year old Carthago which are considering buying . Don’t get me wrong we actually liked the van …..But …..boy did it rattle ! Baring in mind it was totally empty it was the fixture and fitting that rattled . I even took the oven grills out to try to stop it . We don’t know what was rattling but it wasn’t one sing rattle , it was multiple . I have to be honest it’s taken the wind out of our sails ….. at the price they are we did not expect that . The small amount of noise we get from our existing van is bliss compared to what we have just driven . Shame …..we are in a quandary now .

What model was it?, I am surprised at that as ours has a few rattles but these are from items we store( incorrectly) I agree with a previous comment that loaded up / empty does also make a difference. I have tag axle and run tyres at 60psi, and drives like a dream.

I agree beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm glad we're all different. Back to the vans though. I had a look at some rear lounge vans and IMHO, they're all a bit gloomy and old fashioned. That's fine if you like that sort of thing. I don't. So good decision Al and Val. I'd rather share a bottle of 'the Gov'nor' in your present and very nicely appointed van .

The problem I find with rear lounges is that they're a wriggle to get into to and then the view doesnt compare to the view through a decent A class windscreen.

Cathargo's are a pretty good product but its a shame they dont have another lounge choice, I can never seem to sit straight in them.

Thing I don’t like about carthagos is the kitchen, it’s not very good, if you get a tag axle I’d expect the extra room in the kitchen, but no it’s in the lounge which I kind of get, but they could have split the extra length between the two (Mrs Westy would like more worktop). I like the neutrality and brightness in a Morelo, I like all the locker set up down the outside, I like the drivetrain and the option for a telma, but I agree with Al n Val they are tall and more boxy than most cheaper motorhomes, would that stop ME having one, hell no, providing i was fit enough to get in and around it.
I’m pretty sure I’d clip one of the mirrors on something though

I would imagine if you placed a 1 in front of that you may be closer
