I think for us it is the Morelo that they have not even built yet but at the factory they are dropping plenty of hints that they have one on the drawing board that is everything we want, won't be shown until Dusseldorf at the end of August.

More details please, nice slide out too? Not white maybe? Telma retarder, exciting

 

[WESTY66]

Well I’ve had a think, and I think money no object I would like a Morelo Palace no bigger than 8.5m with a telma retarder 2 berth LHD.

Well you did ask

But I do have a great van atm

Great shout Simon. I would say that though as we have one on order, just don’t know when it’s going to arrive though yet.

Val's brain washing of you was a success then.

Smaller outside and bigger inside would be nice and Jen says it must have self closing cupboards but no slide out for sure.

Tbh Lenny, it’s 95% perfect for us!
If it was manual, (or 9 speed auto) and there was no front bed it would be perfect

You are just making excuses.

Mine is our own Swift Bessacarr free of Fiat Ducato repairs.

 

[CAB96]

Is that for real?

Don't worry, it's all slideouts, it's only the size of a Ducato for driving

My uncle owns Overlander.Global and builds overlanders in Colorado, USA. He's just finished this beauty, which is his own personal rig. They're currently out on it's maiden trip since finishing the build last week. It's built on a Mercedes 4x4 ex-fire truck that they imported from Switzerland.

Wow!

 

[Rimswell Wanderer]

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

The prototype of that one, there’s usually extras fitted as a test van that’ll do me

 

[Rocking Rivet]

Any motorhome about 6m long with a drop down bed (6 weeks of making the bed up every night got a bit tedious on our last trip) and a bench seat that I lie down on in the day

 

[haganap]

I'm in it.

Well for this week at least..

 

[fat haggis]

I want this.

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

Go for the early retire. It’s time you will never get back so make the most of it.

I’m 58, well 59 in a couple of months, and planned on retiring next year at 60.

Have started slowing the business down and working less. Enjoying the extra time.

Now the bairn wants to join the company and, well you can’t say no to your kids can you really ? So it’s put things back to 61 to give him an extra year to then take over the business.

On the van front. Was just talking about this with the boss yesterday when I came home at 2 to take her out to the local to enjoy the sun.
We both agreed we are more than happy with our Bailey. Almost perfect with our first van. for now

 

[Smudger55]

Well I think my LUST has been realised, sounds quite eroti......doesn't it. Had a call from Simon, Adams Morey to say MHome has been repaired, going to collect Friday.

 

[Rollingwheels]

Along the same vibe as you Jim, I’m liking the Euramobile Xtura ….

Anyone seen one of these in the flesh? I would be interested to know more and what would the build quality be like?

Not a cat in h————-, err no I think you need to up the budget Geoff as you well know.

Not a cat in h————-, err no I think you need to up the budget Geoff as you well know.

Of course I know but the figure of €50,000 is the maximum on which I am prepared to pay the Polish government' inordinate and illegal 'Excise' tax.

So my lust lingers on. - but happily in our Arto.. When/if we move from Poland things may change.

MLT 570!
Unfortunately the 4x4 manual version was on a 18 month long waiting list and they would not give us a price nor would they confirm a delivery month.
So we had to get the 2x4 automatic which was available immediately. (Ex demo vehicle).

With the benefit of hindsight, it was just as well, as the Pandemic was declared the week after we picked it up.
