Morelo Palace Line

[Hymerboy]

I am sure they are wonderful if you are doing long term and long distance travel.

For a number of considerations (and not "just" finance) it would not be for me. I think I would go for a 5th wheeler rather than a Palace if I was going to do the long term / long distance thing but everyone is different and has different wants and priorities.


The van we have now is (as always) a compromise but it does what we need and after a day or two we are become re-acquainted with the climb into the bed above the garage. It's really just the transverse bed that is the compromise. If we go for longitudinal beds that would add to the van length and there may not be the space in the living area. When Martin gets to 70 we will consider what to do then - probably down plate rather than jump through DVLA hoops - again not an issue with the current van as there will still be enough payload at 3500 kg.

The DVLA thing is not such a big deal just a form to fill in and a medical (which is a bit of a farce ) cost £50.00 last year.

I'll second that - I've had two both using D4D and both effortless and cheap. However the DVLA response depends very much on whether you have any relevant (to driving) health issues..

I still speak to people who go to their GP for this, the last one I remember cost £300+ and somehow managed to fill the form in wrong

My Polish GP managed to fill it in correctly for the last two DVLA 3-year renewals.

[All EU - qualified doctors are authorised to fill in DVLA D4 forms]
