Afternoon All,
A brief intro. My partner and me have always toured the UK/Europe by motorcycle. Sadly I got it very wrong this year in Germany and we both nearly died. Not only that, but the German Police also took a dim view of my shambles! Thankfully, we have in the main now recovered. Understandably, although I am back on two wheels - my partner now sees our touring future in motorhomes. We hired a (new) island bed RollerTeam (quality not great) for couple of weeks and both enjoyed the experience. So we are thinking of a used,low profile coach built for next year. At a push our max budget would be 35K. Our criteria in order of importance:
Build quality - inside & out
Winterised for winter use
Garage big enough for cycles
Transverse, French or island bed
Separate toilet & shower if poss
7m or there abouts max length
Big driver's cab sunroof and big skylights
Having been to several shows and the nec, Carthago really impressed us, as did Frankia and Dethleffs. The quality here and attention to detail really came to the fore, but their starting prices are twice our budget!
I am told (rightly or wrongly?) that the best quality is from Germany. So if it was your money, what motorhomes would you all be looking at?
Thanks very much
Kind Regards
