I have a Voyager 584 looking for a new home and I must admit it’s a very pretty van.
They are also really good value for money considering Elddis are now £80k plus for certain models!!
Ticks all the boxes for me. Wife just wants to have a look around others at the NEC on 19th before we make decision. I know our local dealer also has one in now and two more due in december.

A 4 berth moho that's almost 8M running at 3500Kg. Yeah, right. With only the driver and empty tanks and garage, possibly. Forget spare wheel, extra battery, gas bottles, Omnistor and anything to cook with. Don't know what the Ford chassis can be up-plated to.

You can plug then in either way round and leads not trailing over draws stopping you opening them and my electric bits have Schuko plugs on them. .
The plug either way round OK but don't know why that is important, second point about trailing leads I don't understand, third point OK if everything has foreign plugs on I can understand that but not for me ;)

It is dead easy to put a 2 pin plug on your 240 volt kettle so I don't understand why you need a UK 3 pin socket on an imported MH, adding to the cost. Or, you can use a cheap UK travel adapter, as I did. What happens when you want to trade the MH in to a foreign dealer? UK 3 pin sockets aren't exactly a selling point.

Have left the German sockets on my van, swooped over the plugs on some appliances.
I prefer the German plugs as they are small and neat.
I do carry a few adaptors also just incase.

Some....good & bad!

Had a good look at one at the weekend. No overhead clothes lockers in the rear bedroom, and hidden travel seats means no storage under there either - useless for us.
You get what you pay for.

Been caravanner for over thirty years,now going to have motorhome very soon.
Markets will continue to fluctuate for ever more, this mess is a 40 year fix (country debt payments, brexit, Russia etc. etc.). Will the pound recover yes, will house prices drop who knows, but salaries will increase in the coming years, this has started already. The gap will close slightly - and mortgage rates will get back to some normality and spending will open up.

Taking to a financial advisor, they suggested a 3-4 year dip through inflation.

Anyone borrowing to survive or on a 95% mortgage or living on the line with a mortgage could be in trouble….
The normal mortgage rate for us so called baby boomers was 8.5%

But what was the monthly cost of an average house as a percentage of average wages that's the real cost. Also what was house price inflation in our case we paid a fair bit but made a lot more
