Ours has a big warning sticker on the inside of the large garage door
Some German brands do not have double floors, the EuraMobil’s are all built with double floors with the tanks in between the floors. Look around and take you retime to get the make/model that suits your own needs. Rust is not the big issue for most builds these days except on the base vehicle, eg the Fiat Ducato part as they are all built with weight being kept low with light weight but strong materials. Much that looks wood like is actually aluminium covered to look like wood!. Internal walls are often hollow so the fixings may not be as robust as you might hope.
Damp not rust is the issue. My advice is to try and pick a model without structural woodDo you have any recommendations for dealers with lots of stock so we can go compare styles, preferably no further south than Coventry
True, our Hymer Mercedes 2006 vintage is rear wheel drive so the drive shaft gets in the way. However the floor is well insulated and the fresh water tank is in board whilst the grey tank is within an insulating cover with heating supplied to the cavity round the tank from the air blown heating system so it's not a problem in practice.
WHat do you recommend as minimum dimensions for garage door for MTBs please?
Without being flippant depends on how big your bikes are, it seems to be the ceiling height and any cross-members that might cause problems. We have a Dutch-style sit up and beg bike which is the main problem due to height and I am loathe to remove wheels and handlebars each time so that has to go in the tallest spots but the kid's MTB and my road bike will fit in most places in the garage.
Well we're fairly new to motorhoming and I can share my personal thoughts with you on types of vans, coach built vans out number A class vans economy does vary by the shape A class are more aerodynamic than coach built ie fuel consumption, most are fully winterised, engine wise better of with cam chain motor, length of van is the difficult one the long vans have there problems in towns parking up etc, but you obviously have more internal space for better layouts I prefer A class vans and they are all I think European and some older ones are great buys and fantastic quality, spend as much time as you can checking out as many vans as you can to see what is right for you as it will save you much cash in the long run, best of luck.Hi all, I've done my stint with a transit campervan and now am hoping to upgrade, nothing crazy money, around 30k I expect. Main considerations are large garage for bikes and cruise control! Anyone fit 4 bikes in their garage, or use the over cab bed for bike bags?
Ideally looking for 4 berth but so long as 4 travelling seats it's acceptable. I am wondering at the difference between the van based chassis and 'brick' shaped fish bowl A class ones... I don't really want anything beyond 7m but this is based on what I feel might be practical and the airy feel of that fish bowl cab is appealing.
I'd love to hear some pros and cons from owners, including economy, does it make a big difference the shape you go for? Also, year round use, what should I be looking for if I want to use in winter too. Any advice and thoughts greatly appreciated, thank you for reading
I was just going to ask if the OP had bought one.
