Absolutely right - most of them are fast, reliable, clean, economical, quiet, comfortable,convenient and substantially stylish! "Stylish"....Well if a glass washing bowl and black effect tiles in your shower floats yer boat Rich ;-) ................ "Reliable".... I dare say there's a few folk on here who would take issue with that statement :D ................... "Fast".......They maybe, but given that they're designed for holidays, if you need to bust a gut to get to your destination then I suspect you don't have the leisure time to make proper use of a camper :-| ............. "Clean"........ Cleaner than petrol or LPG? :-S ............and with a shelf life of 10 years if you live in London >:-) ....... "Economical".......31 mpg is not bad for a 24 year old CB B-) .............. "Quiet".............My 1990 camper is quieter than my 1999 Tranny ;-)............. "Convenient"............How many of today's PVC's let alone CB's fit in a car park space? (?) ...... Have I missed anything?................Oh yeah......I've no need to buy synthetic p*ss............I can extract plenty on here (lol)............

Mel B Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Billggski - 2014-11-03 8:58 AM Phew... Just read through this thread again, glad I've been away until the dust settled. I've told a friend who is thinking of buying a motorhome to join the forum, but ......shock horror! They haven't got a motorhome yet!!! Are they allowed to post in this section? I used to always tell people who were interested to look at this forum as the BEST motorhome forum ... but stopped doing that ages ago ... there's no way I would willingly recommend this to anyone now, not with all the vitriol and plain ignorance that some posters exhibit! There are much NICER forums out there for motorhomers to be able to get help etc without all the cr@p! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
