New to Motorhomes!!

etn

My hubby and I are embarking on a new project......Motorhome/Camper!!! We need all your experienced opinions, ideas and indeed direction to carry it out . We have been checking the web and picked out a Compass Calypso 302. They seem to be very scarce here especially in a right hand drive.

Yes, it has to be a rhd and very manoueverable and comfortable bed or beds. We think the Autosleepers might fit the bill.

Anyone got one???

Thanks in advance.

Hi British vans are scarce here, but they are very well kitted out. You should take a look up north there are plenty of Motorhome dealers up there. I do not know of any dealers in the south, we had to buy overseas.

Will keep on searching.

Thanks Bessa.

hi and welcome,buying your first motorhome is a big project ok,it is hard to give you advice the van the suits me may be a million miles away from what you would like,i can only pass on the advise that we got went we set out,look at loads of vans of different makes,its all about the layout of the van if you can decide the layout that would you suit you then your search can get under way in ernest,if you get the layout wrong you can end up with the wrong van well you can see what i mean
best of luck and let us know how you get on,this link might help http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/channel/articleitem.asp?c=1&article=156

Are they the older type Ducato , with the Door at the rear , like an ambulance?

What's your budget?

Our budget.......mmmm.....10k ish.

Have you got one???

Aidan_M_M

Not one of those , there's a euramobil and a CI Turistico there, close to your budget. We wouldn't have a lot of time for the earlier UK home market stuff , have seen too many of them leaking!

Are they RHD. Will certainly take a look. Are they online?

Aidan_M_M

Both online , and both LHD .

Have you totally ruled out LHD?........have you driven a LHD?......it is not nearly as scary as you might think.....infact after about 20mins driving, it is second nature......also there is a great comfort in knowing how close you actually are to the ditch when your driving on little back roads

Perhaps you should go and take a LDH van for a "Test Drive"

It definately would open up your choice of vans considerably
