i looked into a mobilehome /  camper for the Europe trip, bloody expensive things, £1,000 barley gets you 80's Transit with a bed in it!


We were in Dave Barrons (big caravan/motorhome dealer) on Saturday and they had a load of plug ugly Peugeot motorhomes. They started at around £45000! (new of course)

At least with caravans you get a decent drive around vehicle when you get there.

WOuld you rather drive a Transit or an Omega?

The wifes aunt and uncle have a big one (retired teachers with teachers pensions and no kids!)

Its bloody awful and what makes it worse is the fact hes a crap driver, you know, one of these people who trys to join a motorway at 30 mph and ends up sitting at the end of the slip road....

They have a small garage in the back of theres with a couple of mopeds in it and the odds and sods requried to use the dam thing.

The only plus point is the wind up factor......nothing better than knocking on the window and asking for two 99's....

If you have to get some thing like this then a caravan is a better bet.....although I suspect if you only use it a few times a year then a BandB would be much cheaper anyway.

The only people I know who get good use out of these are people who race. You can turn up at a race meeting with the race car on a trailer on the back, plug in the leccy hook-up and you don't have to worry about accommodation. Can't use a caravan in that case.

I must admit I'd struggle to justify one. All the expense of running another vehicle, about as much fun to drive as a visit to the dentist, a thirst for diesel that you wouldn't believe and you'd have to have spades of spare time to make it pay over and above the odd b&b or camp site.

Why?, I have not yet actually held anyone up for more than a few seconds (while overtaking on DCs and no more than a few slowies), on motorways and DCs there is another lane, if they are in a hurry I am no more of a problem than other people at the same speed, and the car is grunty enough to manage same road speeds as most other road users.

We don't all use Rover Diseasels ;D
