[Carpmart]

Both on Iveco chassis 4x4 with high and low range front and rear difflocks rear garage with bed over

I’d have one of these!

 

[Dorset Diver]

I was lusting after a Hymer 4x4 until I had a longish off road ride in one in Portugal. Rock-n-Roll! Very uncomfortable, but it did cover the ground okay.

 

[Richard n Ann]

I like the Elddis CV20, but not enough to buy one though.
Every time I go away in mine I realise how great it is and soon go off the idea of buying another. It was our first motorhome too, we chose wisely

 

[denisejoe]

Just the van I have need to get away more just need knee replacement

 

[Gellyneck]

We have a real lust for an Adria Panel Van 'cause we know one will be coming up very soon in the Classifieds with a massive discount for Lifers when our valiant leader buys a Hymer 4 x 4!

We want a Safari Trek.
Very short for an RV at 24feet but bed is "majic bed" that descends from central ceiling area. Most have levelling jacks and all the usual RV toys.
Only problems are they stopped making them around 2005? And I am recovering from emergency abdominal surgery and not even allowed to lift a kettle

 

[PDrill]

It's the one we're getting. If it had 4wd it would be perfect for our price range.

Consort Oslo, we are driving ourselves mad at the moment as it might be within our grasp!

Our logic is impeccable. We have a 4 year old IH630RD , 3 way fridge. Comformatic. 140W gel battery and 120Ah solar. Underslung log tank. We have booked a 6 week tour of Iceland next year. No LPG available. We’re not always having hookup. Could be cold. Tour leader said we’ll “probably” be OK.

A new van with a compressor fridge, diesel heating plus lithium makes perfect sense to us!!!

See you at the Newbury show.

If your happy with the present van then replacing the fridge for a compressor one and adding the power to it will be a hell of a lot cheaper….

 

[WESTY66]

I’ll get back to you on that Jim, I’ll just see which way the wind is blowing

But it’d have to be LHD

 

[Just smiffy]

I’d just like a van with an automatic box that I don’t have to worry about it breaking and costing me anything up to £10k to fix..

Coachman A Class but it’s too big to fit where I live ( it wouldn’t fit through the stone pillared gates ) . My only option would be to find storage with hook up and ready the van remotely for hols . Too much faff me thinks but I really want one !

 

[Roby2008]

We have a new 7m MH, but if I was single (not a wish by the way) I would have a de-mountable camper on a pick-up truck.....the best of both worlds.

You’re no fun at all!!

 

[Mikey RV]

I would just love one of these old Winnebagos.

Automatic gearbox.

 

[dunnah01]

Our Moho is part of the family as we live in it all the time but my eye could wander if one of these came by

 

[Just smiffy]

[JoshnPen]

[busbuddy]

Saw one of those at uttoxeter a few years ago and it had hydraulic levelling rams as well....I just thought it would be cool to go into a hymer dealer and tick options like a man possessed

If anyone is lusting after an Adria Compact with an island bed we may be faced with a choice of selling ours or installing it as an expensive garden ornament.

 

[Dutch 68]

I m giving consideration to Lenny HB motor. Select motorhomes
I keep thinking about it, but sensible head on it is unlikely as will want a year or so of retirement to work out how much money I want to spend and how much to keep

Based on personal experience I would say , go for it, unfortunately life has a habit to not follow your chosen path, so don’t delay nice things in life

 

[M-J]

Adria Sonic 700DC Supreme ticks all of the boxes for us

 

[suavecarve]

Based on personal experience I would say , go for it, unfortunately life has a habit to not follow your chosen path, so don’t delay nice things in life

Going for it would put back retirement a year. I will be going for the retirement. We have a nice van, its always nicer to have a nicer van, but the opportunity cost of a year working 12 hour shifts of days and nights is not appealing to me anymore.

Its delay the retirement or delay the upgrade of a van 71 plated van which is set up how we want

I keep seeing the Merc 4x4 Hymer ML-T's out and about and liking them more and more. Just a bit wider than my panel van and so much possibility. A flat floor throughout, so good for the dog, lots of useable storage and the 4 wheel drive is a big bonus. It looks great too.

So that's my current van lust, I don't want to know why you don't like my choice, but I'd love to know what your current van lust is and why

We put a full Victron system into one last week for an Aussie couple that are living in it. It's the first time I've seen them up close like that and I would LOVE one of these vans! They are nice!

 

[Dutch 68]

Keeping it simple

 

[Vikdikdok]

Having downsized from Hymer A class to smaller pvc & then deciding to quit the motorhome game, the last few weeks I've started to have a lust for one of the small Citroen HiLo Roamahomes . . .

 

[Lenny HB]

I’d just like a van with an automatic box that I don’t have to worry about it breaking and costing me anything up to £10k to fix..

The 9 speed is even dearer than the Comformatic to replace a friend of mine has one replaced last year on a 2½ year old Malibu PVC. Total cost was £15k Fiat coughed up £13k for the parts.

 

[Bustup15]

Still think these are the dogs bollocks. Dethleff Grand Alpa 7820-2 for sale shortly I hope.
