Hi jana ha ha hope so!
I waited so long because i wanted most of the options fitted, but at the time there was not a 4 ton chassis available so bownhills fixed it at the agreed price then when the 2006 model came out there was £3000 worth of extras as standard and the option package came down by £1000 so overhaul im well pleased to have waited

I am glad you are happy with the deal given.

Just thinking about all the things you need to take for your stay over but most importantly the thing not to forget is The bottle opener. You will be ok for loo rolls and toilet chemicals as there will be samples in it.

We decided just to pick up ours from Gloucester then drive back home and try everything out on the drive as we couldn't bear the thought of changing things from a loved friend to our new van.

Have a great time and we look forward to seeing your pictures in "members and their motorhomes" gallery.

You will enjoy your van. We have a Bessacarr too and its a really well built van. We have had ours for 2 years and just returned from touring europe as far as Prague. I look at loads of vans in shows to see what we would buy next and always look around our Bessacarr and realise how happy we are with it. Don't worry about comments on Brownhills as the quality of the van speaks for itself. Enjoy your van and don't just park it up and look at it, get travelling and have fun
Enjoy

Welcome to MHF and enjoy. !

One piece of advice I'd pass to any newbie -as we were not very long ago is this: Don't make packing up your van for a trip away into a major performance. The more hassle it is the less likely you are to go away for overnighters or short trips and the more you find preparation a chore. Keep as much as possible in the MH, put anything you want to take on the next trip into a bag in the house and all you have to do is grab the bag, keys and some milk and you are off.
