Hi, Just to say I live in Devon and have recently purchased a Pilot E 2016 from Nick Saunders of Martins Caravens at Sandygate Exeter` Very pleased with the purchase but not yet had a run out. Too busy buying all the bits and bobs required to get going, as well as watching no end of 'you tube' advice videos. Very impressed with Diamond Dave. My intention is to use the MH over the coming year in the UK and to iron out any gremlins, then to embark on a two year tour of Europe. Revist places that I have lived in as a schoolboy ( Father Army) then to visit all the places I lived and served as an Army Officer., such as Rinteln, and Munster. Also to visit friends in France, Holland Portugal.
Ive had a number of offers to join me on the trip but Ive declined as I I am sure it must be difficult to travel with someone for an extended period without falling out. ( Exception maybe if you are in a long term relationship. I'm a widower and very happy one.) I have suggested to friends that we stay in touch via Skype/phone whatever and agree a meet up point when they can join me for a weekend/week. I would appreciate comments.
Regards
Popjoy

Hi and welcome to the forum.
The majority of current members are caravanners and the motorhome forum has recently been amalgamated with the caravan forum.
There are many common fixtures and fittings that are shared by caravan and motorhome manufacturers and of course we all use the same campsites .
All motorhome owners are more than welcome here and we hope to rebuild the motorhome forum to become a busy vibrant online community as time goes by.

There are lots of experienced caravanners who are members of this forum Smigs.
They are always happy to share tips and advice.
It's always a better idea to ask a question rather than to make a mistake that could cost you money, and we really dont mind being asked. 😊

Yep. Whatever you do wrong someone on here will have already done it-twice. Ask anything you need. Welcome to the forum.

Hi Samuel, welcome to the forum.
It might be difficult to source an owners manual, you could try the abi owners club or check online auction sites.
All is not lost however, because there is a wealth of experience within the membership of this forum so if there's anything that you want to know, just ask on our message boards.
