| Our
Motorhome History
|
| We decided to
get a new motorhome in August 2009 and still keen to have a van conversion
bought a new Adria Twin (actually an '08 model on a Fiat Ducato 100) with
a fixed bed across the back and four belted seats. This layout is very
popular in Europe and it has suited us for the few trips we have done in
it despite the rather wet weather.
|
 |
| In 2003 we changed our motorhome to an Autosleepers Symbol Hi-top van conversion
on a Peugeot Boxer 1.9 turbo diesel. A typical Autosleepers panel van layout with all facilities. Ideal for two people and
small enough to use as our only vehicle
|
 |
| Our
previous motorhome was an Elddis Eclipse coachbuilt on a Renault Trafic 2.2L petrol
chassis. A basic compact motorhome that we found ideal for two people, with lots
of storage space |
|
Our first
motorhome was a Holdsworth Romance HTL Super hi-top conversion again on a Renault
Trafic (2L petrol). An unusual layout with a good sized kitchen area but no rear
door access.
