jesters Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Dont know what to really make of the motor show yesterday, it didnt seem busy at all. you could walk around without rubbing shoulders with people. Some lovely vans there , but found some of the sales folk a bit snotty. must be the only show where we didnt buy anything at all. hope the next one at the nec is better. had anyone looked at a new website called sellmycaravan.com. it list most the vans that your looking for and its free to place an advert with them. have a good day all.

Rowan Lee Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 We went on Wednesday/Thursday last week. I agree, it wasn't very busy at all and I was very surprised. We had no problems with snotty sales folk, quite the reverse. I thought it was an excellent opportunity to look at the new vans and to talk to the component manufacturers direct. We spent some time on the Fiat stand looking at the new base vehicle. Also we had the chance to talk to Dometic (still strying to decide whether to take out the leaking Seitz window to reseal it), talk to Thetford about the new loo green sachets, talk direct to Truma, etc. etc. We didn't spend much money but we learned such a lot.

flicka Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hope you gets lots of enjoyment from the new Compass, Kelly. Problem with that makers name, you won't have any excuse for getting lost. We've recently returned to the fold with a Bessacarr E410. We agreed years ago we would come back when I retire, but you can spend your life waiting and that's not my nature. It's great to be back where we our spirits belong and looking forward to getting the "Van" (we still have to name it) out and about. 1st proper trip will have to be a shake-down as the vans have changed considerably since our last homebuild in the early / mid 70's Problem is HALF our payload is taken up with all the Manuals.

kelly58 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi Flicka we fancied a bessacar 410 and we were offered a 2006 model at a good price but we got a better deal with the compass they are both the same layout and size so we are all looking forward to getting going regards kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
