Lenny's Heading South, not a Clue Where.

Other than that it is alright?

Seriously, you are right about the pedals. Even for people who have never driven a LHD motorhome.

But, the storage box is good. Because it is all mine.

Climate Control? - I don't think you would have had that at all if you had stuck to Hymer.


Manic - We will have to watch we don't get ticked off for taking the thread off topic. :giggle:

Standard on Hymers, comes in the Komfort pact that you can't buy the van without, previous Hymers have had it.
 
Loads wrong they were never designed to be LHD, not just the driving, it compromises the layout as well.
Nowt wrong with RHD, with the UK nearside passenger seat it makes it much easier to turn it round without a steering wheel in the way so to me that makes it better layout-wise, also I can easily pop out of the cab door if necessary to help direct hubby, eg reversing etc.
 
Recently, a few typos with your posts. Too late to fix that that one now.

CCP does seem to be taking over but there are still plenty of free Aires in France, you just have to look for them, most of the smaller villages still have them.
We have been in France now for 4 weeks our total spend on Aires this time is 00.00€ and we’ve had free EHU 3 times.

Earlier this year I think the spend on Aires was something like 00.28€ for 30 days and there again had several nights on EHU.

Less than 1 cent per night!
That IS cheap!

Honestly don’t think our layout is compromised, more than happy with it, it definitely works for us.

Maybe some drivers struggle more than others, just saying 😂😂

I've had 4 rhd a class vans and 2 lhd a class vans and whilst I managed fine with the rhd I much prefer the lhd . Not just in Europe but in the UK too. I also couldn't have one without a cab door. That having to go out the hab door to fuel up or to check space behind me etc would drive me nuts .

Fortunately the rhd euramobil a class and the first mobilvetta i had ,had a cab door on each side aswell as the hab door so that was OK but the frankia and hymer rhd with left hand side cab door was a pain in the ass.

Probably OK if there's 2 of you but as a solo traveller that caused me lots of hassle.

I don't think I'd be put off a van if everything else was perfect but it's now always on my search criteria and I'd always buy lhd first over rhd now.

Coachbuilt I wouldn't care.
 
Now I know who you remind me of Lenny!!!!

Its that bloke in the Heinz baked beans advert who loses his suitcase when he goes on holiday! :LOL:


No Rog.....🤣

Cheers🍻

I notice from the photo from Silves that the alloys are not the usual pattern Fiat ones. Lenny HB I thought you were on the light chassis or did you spec heavier wheels?

That is the newer Fiat wheel design but 16“ wheels are an option they charge for but they won't sell you a van without them, same with electric on the Truma.

With the 180hp & 9 speed box which is standard on RHD, the brakes, hubs etc., are all from the maxi, it's basicly a maxi chassis with an Al-Ko light chassis. Puts the weight up by 55kg.
I think it's the same with all converters using the 180 & 9 speed.

It’s the same for those of us with the standard non-Al-Ko Fiat chassis with other flavours of the 2.2 engine, provided it has the 9 speed ZF box. As per royandsharont our Adria Compact came with all the uprated components and wheels - which have made the up plating relatively inexpensive.
