Thanks to everyone for your comments & Advice.

Anne & I have just got back home after our first test drive. We have given an Elddis 120 a run up the M66 and a local run around Heywood.

We both found it easy to drive but must give it 10 out of 10 for the boneshaker score. We will compare it with a 'Bessie' E460 next week.

Will keep you all informed.

Cheers

Anne & Vic

Hi,

They do tend to bounce around until you get a few possessions and some water to hold them down on the road.

We nearly bought an Elddis but the half size watertank was the one thing we would have had serious doubts about. We have a 65lt tank and thats hardly adequate.

if it is a new van the ride will be very hard as it is not loaded along with the suspension being still new and stiff.

I bet the tyre pressures will be far to hard as well.

Good luck, if it was my choice I would go for the Bessie

Sounds good, we recently got the 580's sister, the E460. Very happy with it so far.

I wish you many happy adventures in it Very Happy

Enjoy your collection day. There's lots of threads on here giving tips to help ensure the handover goes smoothly.

Going to be looking at a MAY 2008 Elddis Autoquest 120 with 21000 Miles on the clock. Anyone know what MPG to expect from 2.2L engine. Also is it a good vehicle generally-any advice greatly appreciated. Also looking at Nu Surf Rio-again any views?
Thanks
Hehehe ! Bessacarr E460

HI
I to was a long tern caravan owner who moved over to the dark side in 2011. Bought a Autocruise Starspirit. A Bessacarr E460 by any other name just built by swift last year till they sorted out their brands.
Great van on a Peugeot body and a few upgrades as standard.
See my post under swift MH re water tank to check.
Apart from a few problems mainly with poor fittings like a shower tray that had a hole in it we have found it the best layout for lounging in as we did in the caravan.
Length at 6.4 is about the max for not to many parking problems and we get 30 mpg on a good day.
But equal in the deal is the dealer and just how supportive he is.
Good luck.
Peter
