8 Metre Plus Motorhomes

[dwrights]

Hello Everyone,

Currently looking for a new to me MH. Has been around 6 years since I last had one and that was a 2015 Swift which was around 7 metres long. Thinking back I managed ok with it, a few scratches down the sides from hedges when in Cornwall but that was about it.
Currently I'm in two minds what to go for, one minute I’m telling myself to be sensible and buy something like this PVC which is new,

Malibu 640 LE Skyview

and then I see something like this which looks amazing although it’s nearly 10 years old but looks great value for money,

Niesmann Arto 88

My question is, what are the larger motorhomes like to live with? I might be going full time in the future hence looking at the larger vehicle. I know that I wouldn’t be able to get close to towns but it has a large garage to fit a scooter in.

Anybody else took the non sensible option?

Towns and cities aren't for motorhomes. If you really must visit one then park on outskirts and take a bus or train in to town.

Done plenty of towns and cities in my 7.5m. Doable but not as easy in the UK but fine in Europe. On the occasion that it has been difficult to park close to a centre of a city we park a little further out and take the electric bikes in.

My point was more why would you want to?

Yes I saw the big smile on Mrs olleys face last year at retro

At retro she was probably recalling the distant memory.

If it's possible (which it is more than many people think) then it's convenient to be near where you want to go.

The P&R at Oxford and Canterbury are ideal for visiting the cities, and take any size motorhome.
