Morelo For Beginners

[Hymer Life]

Should I suggest it is probably best to close this thread guys? Is it really appropriate to what's going on, with potentially millions being made unemployed, to discuss the minutiae of how to spend a few hundred £K.

Discuss it amongst yourselves. Best wishes.

I think I'm really quite shocked at the remark.
Would you like to set a ££ threshold above which we can't discuss certain things?

People are dicussing somethings that they may have had aspirations for, over a long period of working hard and helping the economy to create wealth.

If you think aspirations should not be discussed that would preclude me from talking about poverty in the world - as I have no aspiration to be poor.

As for timing, some of the posters made decisions before the CV crisis and are discussing the consequences.

Should I seek opinions, including your's, as to whether I should discuss selling my house(worth several times a Morello) and where to place the proceeds? Especially as the timing of the discussion might be right in the CV environment, so deferral of the discussion might be futile.

I am surprised and shocked that one member has ruined a great thread and created ill feeling, what a shame. I loved following Andrews posts regarding both his Globecar purchase and potential new buy.

In fact all motorhomes are an expensive luxury it could be said, so close the whole forum until the crisis is over

 

[bigtree]

I would like to say that I was also enjoying this thread and has aspirations to own a similar luxury van but due to my wife's ongoing health hiccup and me having to get a small procedure I dithered, I had spoke to and messaged other members about various vans. I also didn't want to be in a position of buying without selling my van so I missed out on a fabulous van and our backup choice just as the € was peaking, ho hum maybe just as well as we wouldn't have been able to use it anyway with CV going raj and shutting down continental touring. Well that's got that off my chest, back to dreaming folks.

 

[funflair]

I was in two minds wether to respond at all but after some reflection ? well here I am, this type of discussion is all part of the buying process and I enjoy it and like to try to help others through what can seem a bit like a maze at times, some people might think this insensitive at this difficult time but from our personal standpoint we started our buying process 7 months ago or you could argue it started a long time before that but 7 months ago we committed to ordering a Palace, do I feel guilty or embarrassed that we are about to part with a tremendous amount of cash at this difficult time for many? well no I don't actually as we have worked, scrimped and saved for this day and we are going to enjoy it in the full knowledge that our hard earned cash will help out quite a few businesses both large and small that might otherwise struggle to pay their wage bills, OK it's a drop in the ocean but we can all do our bit in various ways.

So in conclusion let's keep spending and supporting our business community and hopefully they can prosper and support their staff.

Well said Martin. I am still enjoying this thread, I just skipped and dismissed the negative post. Let the discussion resume.

Well said but it won't resume unless Andrew decides to continue posting on it.

That's a bummer but "hey ho" you still have a nice van with a big garage

[jongood]

Well the £ has picked itself up a little bit, sez I seizing a positive ?

 

[ceejayt]

Stuck at home potentially for weeks and looking at my van which is going nowhere we need communication and discussion especially if our hobbies and interests.
Keep this thread going!

For sure Andrew has made a big contribution to this thread but there is nothing stopping other folk joining in a provoking discussion, we all need a little relief from what's going on.

This thread is like a parallel universe to me, and being new to motorhoming my 50k Adria Sonic is my world to me and will take a few years to be wholly mine BUT, I’ve enjoyed reading this thread and been a bit worried over my work situation over the last couple of days (but ok now for the foreseeable). I’m sure We ALL can’t wait for all this virus crap to be over first, THEN Martin and others can pick their new Moho’s up!!
I was looking forward to meeting him at Peterborough and having look at it (well the outside anyway??) I will continue to follow the thread as I can use it as research for when my numbers come up!!
Stay safe and the day we have all been waiting for will surely come?

We might still get to "catch up" at Peterborough just a different month. Hope all stays good with work.

I could have walked up there and picked up for you???

??? that would have been very handy, shame I haven’t got the mountain of instruction manuals to browse whilst at home ??

You could always get them posted to ya, I’m only a 10 min walk away and I would take very good care bringing it to you, I’m a very careful driver but very slow, it would probably take around 6 weeks to get it to you ?????

Just thought I’d help a fellow funster with an in-depth shake down and snagging list?????

 

[sallylillian]

??? that would have been very handy, shame I haven’t got the mountain of instruction manuals to browse whilst at home ??

Dave on a serious note I do download probably 95% of my user manuals in PDF format so I do not need such a large box on the van and they are easily searchable for key words. Most OEM kit manuals are available online for download from the manufacturers site. If not, and for me this is only one, I scan to PDF the important bits. Searching a PDF for a key word is so much easier and just finding the manual on the laptop is easier than lugging it down from a storage compartment. I also then have a set wherever I have my laptop. But maybe you do all this anyway?

Blimey. It’s only done about 15000 miles. Cleaner underside than many are on top,! Nice looking van.

Very well-kept owner vehicle with original 24,500 km, shower not used, new toilet not used . Vehicle was always in a hall. No winter operation. Used by married couple without children and without pets. NP € 138,000.

It's a lovely looking thing indeed but only 1,700kg payload

Nice one Martin, I think you may have found a kindred spirit there although if he's that fussy I'm surprised he's happy with a Agile.

This Clou popped up single beds and a 6 cylinder MAN chassis

Not bothered about the age Martin but the garage looks a bit on the small side to me, unusual that with single beds?

 

[funflair]

I think its the walkway between the beds that has restricted it Jon, Vario do the same and it's a shame as it spoils the garage, for thee and me anyway.
