lots to look at not much to see !

killalanerr

the hunt for our next van is well and truly under way and while their are pages of vans for sale their does not seem to be a lot in the 06/08 end of the market or may be i have just being looking in the wrong place ? it looks like we will be buying in the uk again as vans in this range do not seem to be on the irish market and those that are way over priced

we are looking for a low profile 4 birth with a hi spec with a garage may be you guys could recommend some vans i should be looking out for

Here are two which seem to answer your criteria:

http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/campers/1584799

The second one is from a dealer - more negotiation might be possible (and perhaps needed).

I believe a low-profile has the potential for greater fuel efficiency than larger types. Is this true and is it the reason why you would go for one?

thanks for the suggestions,as their will only be the 2 of us now we have no need for a full 6 birth as long as we have room for the odd visitor so we were thinking a low-profile might fit the bill,
this one is a bit out of our budget put this is more like what we have in mind http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2006-Hobby-700-2800cc-19218mi-/300470831930?pt=UK_Campers_Caravans_Motorhomes&hash=item45f5750b3a

on the fuel thing i didnt consider it but if your going pay 35k plus for a van i dont think the odd tank of diesel is going to matter one way or another

You could try this one

Ha, I suppose you are right. That reminds me of an ad I saw on donedeal.ie which said something like:

"No texts. If you can afford to buy the camper you can afford to call."

i would normally be heading for my winter mallin to mizen round now :mad: but were still looking,seen a few and though i bought one but thats another story (waster),defo short supply of good 2nd hand vans at the moment in my range,me thinks people are holding out to see how the vrt/vat thing works out ? anyhow the search gos on and on and on,,,,, :rolleyes:,

A beautiful MH, BTW John Cross Motorhomes have a first class reputation for customer service.
Being a 2006 left hooker I wonder does it have the JTD Power engine which is a superb version of the motor, it's little known in this part of the world as it was never fitted to RHD models.
It's got 147bhp and max torque arrives at 1500rpm and stays till 3,200rpm, which makes for real relaxed cruising up hill and down dale.
