Opinions on manufacturers

[Baboboy]

Hello everyone

Mrs C and myself are giving serious thoughts to getting a motorhome.

We’ve had and lived on narrowboats so we’re fully aware of living frugally and in confined spaces etc. The van would be used for short breaks with the view to go further afield in the future. A few things have happened which have made us say do it now and not when we retire early as you never know what the future holds.

We’ve spent a few weeks trawling various motorhome sites, and have been out and had a look at a few dealerships as well. We’d we looking for a well built van. Don’t want anything that would slowly fall to pieces.

I was looking for people’s experiences the below.

Adria
Deleths
Sunlight
Rapido
Hobby
Berstner

I’ve read to get a German van due to the quality Mrs C likes a Hobby Van as seen on a YouTube Channel lol.

Main requirements would be has to be an Automatic. Fixed Bed, Garage space and due to my driving licence 3500kg.

I’ll sit back with my popcorn.

Once again a warm welcome from us.

How exciting
Good choices made, I believe all good quality vans
Watch out for payloads, can be big garage with small payloads.
We’re on our 5th van
Worst problem we’re experiencing now is fuel injector replacement, twice in 19mths on Ford chassis.

You missed out Carthago.

3500kg? Good luck with the payload.

On a serious note, pvc or c class for better payload? I know it's a generality!

We would have liked a PVC but couldn't afford one!
