Hi Dawki
Why go away from your Mercedes base I get the feeling you may be wishing someone to ask ?
RegardsNo not at all it was17 years old (but you wouldn’t believe it)
transverse bed was a bit of a pain as we got older and fancy an Auto
that’s all really

Hi "Dawki"
It 's a serious issue to consider on purchasing one with a wet belt as you say the the amount of money that has to be spent on the service of same and maybe the loss also of re-sale value going forward,
Regards
Yes it really does need consideration especially when coming from a chain driven van
can anybody confirm that Fords have officially reduced belt change times from 10 down to 6 years?

It really is a crazy amount of money to spend every 5/6 years☹️Such a shame as by all accounts it’s really nice thing to drive

Hi sold my motorhome for the last 15 years😭Mercedes base vehicle
have basically decided that next one which I’m urgently seeking would be Automatic and 90%sure it would be a transit base
having known about the injectors issue some suffered with I was happy to take chance on that but is the wet cambelt issue a game changer regards opting for the Ford Transit

Hi Jeremy
I am on the south coast so get it off the sea
-
Having fairly recently moved to 850m from the sea and just about to change vans would it be wise to opt for one base vehicle manufacturer over another due to seaside location?
any thoughts/experience much appreciated -
Many thanks for that Derek ultra helpful as always👍

Hi again everyone has anyone had had any experience good or bad with Benimar motorhomes I’m looking at the Torosso which seem a decent van but would be interested what you think
-
Many thanks Derek&grumps mpg sounds very reasonable
very interesting reading the discussion on the link I’ll be going from RWD sprinter to FWD transit with two electric bikes In the garage or on rack so I might for the first time have to be careful about driving on wet grass etc etc
are you liking your F68?

Hi Den very many thanks for that information it’s very helpful

Hi all I hope your all well
I am seriously looking at changing my current Auto-trail on a Mercedes base motorhome for a newer motorhome
I see there are quite a lot now built on the new transit and I was wondering if any of you have one and could share your likes/dislikes
do you have manual or Auto /horse power /MPG etc?
very many thanks in advance

Having very recently been through this process my I advise would be just stick it on Auto trader
there are lots of good people out there who want to buy a fairly priced van directly from the owner just like we all used to do
you will get roughly 30% more selling privately and if priced correctly it should sell quickly
Priced mine fairly it sold in a few days to a very nice couple who was so happy to be the new owners
i am looking for my next van now and so wish more people would sell privately
