Hi again funsters, Well the LHD versus RHD would appear to have said that LHD is no problem, and if most of your miles are in Europe, then LHD is the way to go. So, given that I appear to be heading in the direction of a Burstner 821 as it has the size and 'stuff' we want without being OTT, the Frankia is still an option, but hen and teeth comes to mind. So you experienced folk, which engine? 2.8 or 3L, personally, not having a cam belt would appear to be a big plus, but hey, what is your opinion and perhaps more importantly, your experience?
We should also ask, manual, or the auto gearbox? now given the 'auto' is only a robot operated version of the manual, this might lead you to think that the box itself should be more reliable and perhaps more fuel efficient than a full auto (slushbox type) the more modern ones are out of my reach.
What say you folk?
 
I have one of those "Hen's teeth" Frankias with the 3.0l engine, manual box, love it. 3 yrs of fulltiming and and no engine issues or complaints at all ...... (he says cringing knowing full well he has now jinxed it)
