Hi Ken. I think you will need more money than that for what you are looking for.I would be suspicious of a MH like that at that price. :-(

Elddis 400 would fit the bill

[topfitter1]

hi,

i put £19/21.000 as i have just missed out on two private sales localy so i thought that would be a good starter point.

 

i would be willing to look at any motorhome around that sort of money, also i have had a couple of pm's with motorhomes at £21.000 but alas both with L shaped lounge's but if no U shaped turns up we will be in contact with them to have a look

 

 

thanks

ken :-D

Glossop motorhomes have just what you want, it's a Hymer 534, what a beauty but it's at a fair price, one of the best models ever made and rarely on the market.

[topfitter1]

hi

they must have sold it as i cannot see it on the web site but thanks for the info

Now are you actually in Halifax... if so have a look at Baldwins at Copley.. or over to Huddersfield to Lowdhams.both worth a wander around!!

[rolandrat]

the Hymer is still for sale on Glossops website at the moment.

[Brian Kirby]

Why not post a link to it, Roland, as he can't locate it (and neither could I!).

[rolandrat]

Brian, Glossops e-mail address is:- www.glossopcaravans.co.uk or info@glossopcaravans.co.uk. I hope that helps.

[Brian Kirby]

Hi Roland.  I think we could both find the Glossop website OK, but not that particular Hymer.  Can you not give a link to the vehicle itself?

[Brian Kirby]

Ah! It's the Hymer B634 isn't it, not a B534?  The 2004 one with the ticket price of £37,895?

[rolandrat]

Yes Brian it's a B634 with a lovely rear lounge and built to last for many years to come. I used to own a 550 Merc starline, the baby of the fleet and would still have it but for er indoors not liking the kitchen layout. It was the best motorhome I had ever owned. I believe someone in Bolton bought it. It was perfect in every way and bombproof.

hi brian & rolandrat

there is one out there with my name on it i know there is as i missed two by the skin of my teeth

Hi topfitter

If you go to the buy and sell box on this MMM site, click on, then go to page 4, there is a Elddis 200 at £19000 Yr 2005 and ticks all your boxes apart from the distance, it's in the Bristol area. If I was saving myself £1500 i think i would give this some serious thought, and only 15000 miles on clock, got to be worth a phone call.

Spinney have got a 2006 Compass Avantgarde 140 for £25,750 5116 miles. They are a nice van and well built. We had one before we got the Cheyenne and it was a really good van.

 

See Spinney Motors web site, used motorhomes, page 4

[RogP]

is this any good?

 

http://www.webbsmotorcaravans.co.uk/motorcaravans.php?location=0&new%2Fused=2&type=0&manufacturer=Ace&pricerange=0

 

They have 2 Ace Firenza might be slightly over budget but you never know they may come down a bit.

 

I had my van from Webbs and they are a good dealer and happy to work with you to find and get the right van. Their vans are very well presented.

 

Tad of a distance but you may have to bite that bullett.

 

Good luck

[topfitter1]

Older versions of this van seem to have suffered rot in the floor around the periphery, around the water tank, the entrance door, and the kitchen waste.  Swift have been carrying out repairs, but it would be wise to check for any signs of sponginess in the floor in these areas, and to examine the underside for rotten wood.  The point at which Swift may start saying the van is too old to be repaired on a goodwill basis, should also be checked.  The 2010 version only has a 3,300Kg chassis, and 2878kg MIRO, leaving an, in my view inadequate, 422kg user payload to absorb all the usual items, plus any fitted options.  On the current version, a chassis upgrade to 3,500kg is not listed.  With that rear overhang, the rear axle will be at risk of overload.
