Well, after taking early retirement we are thinking of buying our first MH. We are very much outdoor folks into mountaineering and ski-touring and are confident the lifestyle will suit us. However, we will defer any final decision until I get to the NEC show in a few weeks and spend a few days inspecting the quality of vehicles in the flesh. (Unfortunately my wife can't make it)
My search throws up more questions than answers I'm afraid. We are drawn to the following:-
An A Class (But we do like the Niesmann Bischoff Smove .... but it is expensive!)
2 or 4 berth but with single fixed beds that can convert to a double. (Not sure if we could get used to even an electric drop-down bed)
Our budget is around £70k
The Mobilvetta K-Yacht 85 appeals not least because it is available in Scotland. However, I’m not sure if I am just being seduced by the gloss if you know what I mean and I can’t see many owners on this forum. Other marques that appeal include; Pilote, Burstner, Hymer, Frankia, Rapido, Carthago.
Auto Gearbox- We drive an auto-geared car and assume there is no disadvantage in having an auto box in a MH?
Curious to know what mileage can we can realistically expect?
Left or right hand drive???
Would consider buying abroad but then who services your vehicle here near Scottish Borders? It seems if we take advice to 'look global but buy local' we are restricted in our choice somewhat. (Mobilvetta is available not too far away)
We continue to absorb as much of the wisdom and experience on this forum as possible and are extremely grateful of any help you can offer to avoid the many pit-falls.
Open to any suggestions.....erm ......relating to above!
