shem - 28-11-2011 at 21:05

Right then Gents! Im after a motor home, as me and the family are off to Europe for the summer, (extended summer). Im trying to keep the budget pretty low, as the less I spend the more Ill have to go with Im looking at left hand drives to keepp the cost down as well, and as Ill mainly be using it in Europe it seems to make sense, so any advice, heres the kinda thing Im lookng at

Ive seen a few older ones go for 6ish with reasonable mileage? We are all very much used to ruffing it, so dont want ultimate luxury, but comfy beds and storage space wud be good

Thanks in advance, oh and any of you camper boys about Europe in June, july and August?

Saw a few over there this summer Shem, seemed very pricey, better value over here I reckon.
And always over there for the summer, can let you know about some lesser known good surf spots.

sweet cheers mate. Lesser known spots always good to k ow. Ive surfed most of the popular ones, but less crowds is always great

Ill be around SW France from June onwards, but be moving down the coast by mid July, so may well miss u guys unfortunetly.
