Motorhomes market to increase or decrease 2024? (2 Viewers)

[Lenny HB]

Lenny HB at the risk of seeming very sceptical, maybe they set their 'Extras' prices to make the 'compulsory' extras in the new price appear that the price increase is reasonable.

All converters charge silly prices for extras but if the extras included in the price increase are ones you would have ordered anyway, (which they were) it doesn't make any odds.

I've just traded my van for the new one I got £5k less than what I paid for it 7 years ago, OK I spent about 8 or 9k on bits I've fitted.
7 years 120 nights a year even in cheap hotels would be around £60K then about another £25k plus eating out.
I think I'll stick with Motorhoming.

That’s makes great sense to me Lenny HB

may I ask what you’ve traded up to btw?

Unless they are items one could have fitted cheaper afterwards.

Carthago Compactline I 141 LE, wanted something with better build quality and smaller.
It's giving me earache someone keeps complaining about how small it is.

A bit difficult to fit a higher power engine (chipping is not the same) & auto gearbox plus the upgraded brakes that come with it and large garage door on other side.
All extras we would have had and not anything you would do after.

Am I the only one that thinks shorter vans would be better with a transverse bed option and a bit more lounge or kitchen space, after all you only sleep in the bed

I understand the logic but I don't think the wife would be happy with me clambering over her 3 or 4 times a night to go for a pee

We don't get on with transverse beds had them in a couple of hire vans before we bought our first van. Didn't get on with them when we were 57 certainly wouldn't at 74.
Also the Compactline with the transverse bed has a much smaller garage.
No man wants a small garage.

Where is a campsite for €14 a night please.
We were there in April and couldn't find a site or anywhere for that matter at that price.
