We decided then to buy a new model that was sitting on the forecourt, Hi Line as opposed to the Low line I would have preferred but my wife is happy, VERY.

I think you will find the Hi line far more flexible and practical that the Lo line.
The Lo line might look sleeker but I find the flexiblity of a Hi line invaluable. It gives you a very large storage area or an extra bed if you should ever require it. Great for just bundling the bedding in if you don't have the fixed bed model.
Is this lack of a spare wheel related to Fiats new chassis or is it just an AT thing?

Thanks, Must be bad move on their part then. I wouldn't consider any vehicle without a spare wheel of some sort. Aren't there penalties from some of the resuce organisations if you call them for punctures and have no spare wheel?
I have certainly read this somewhere in someones blurb, perhaps even travel insurance?

Just spoken to our dealers who are fitting a tow bar on ours and are having to remove my spare wheel. They say that all the motorhomes are coming without a spare wheel. I asked if this was legal and apparently it is as long as the kit is provided to blow up the tyre with the puncture. As he is an ex tyre fitter he says that if a tyre once has a puncture it should be replaced.
His attitude is that he would not want to change a wheel on a motorhome by the side of the road. Rather get the experts in to do it. He has a point!
Our small Kia Picanto doesn't have a spare wheel. Having said that, in 48 years of motoring I have never had a puncture and had to use a spare wheel!!!!!!
It's all extra weight.

Hello all
Roger contacted our dealer yesterday and he is expecting our Chieftain on 16th March and gave us a build number. He wants to keep it for 5 working days to check it out.
I have asked my bro - nice man, very very nice man (A.A.) about no spare wheel, and he told me that the majority of new cars are now only supplied with a puncture repair kit. It does not affect your membership just an inconvenience to the man called out as he has to take your punctured wheel and find someone to repair it, if possible. Im sure, in time the motoring organizations will find this a great inconvenience and start objecting

everybodys complaining about autotrail but what you've got to realise is if the autotrails so bad why is their sutch a waiting list and why are so many people waiting the 5 months for delivery all motorhome manufactures are in it for one thing and that is profit. when i ordered my new motorhome i offered up front payment for a discount and was told why would we want to give you discount when we have a five month waiting list for delivery due to the product being so popular so the same as all the other people waiting i paid the price
