Thread Name: BS: Campervans (UK)
Subject: RE: BS: Campervans (UK)
I had a one bedroom house and a 20' Winnebago Toyota motorhome. Both were big enough then I got married. Suddenly everything I own was too small (shut up Spaw). I've now ended up with a three bedroom ranch and a 33' Fleetwood motorhome. Damn thing has its own zip code.

It's always a good idea to look ahead, whatever you're driving, but with this thing you can't even take for granted that the road will be wide enough. It gets about 9 miles to the gallon and it seems like it comes up with a new problem every time I drive it. Recently an exhaust leak cost me $600

These rigs are fun, picture driving your own living room down the road at 60 mph, but it is a very expensive hobby. I would never want to drive this rig in the UK. The secret is get one that is just barely big enough for your own purposes and don't go overboard.

If the clicky works you can see our rig http://www.flickr.com/photos/82714470@N00/104620164/
