Thanks everyone for sharing my enjoyment. I think the secret of the perfect motorhome is to realise that there is no perfect motorhome for you. It is the motorhome that satisfies all your personal big issues and you compromise, get around, modifiy smaller issues. i.e. Pussl has no aircon. Small issue but that can be sorted when I get some more funds in.
No bath. Very small issue as shower will do. No mains sewerage but the cassette idea is I think the very best alternative. No Kingsize bed but to get that I would have to buy a big motorhome so I will make do with the adequate bed and loosing some weight would help.
The big bonuses are being able to go from A to B in more comfort than a car, at the same speed and will be able to go to almost all the same narrow places too. Fuel economy is above 30mpg so a big bonus for me there too.
LHD is ideal for me. It is much easier driving on UK roads which I know than driving RHD on foreign roads I don't know.
I am not sure about the payage. I have never done it and the missus has been the only payer of tolls abroad and always irritates me because she does not worry how many cars pile up behind us, nor if they start honking there horns. I always get hot and embarrassed.
She is now over the moon because in future she does not have to be woken up for tolls and highly amused at the thought of me trying to do anything with money. I just know the first tailback I create will make her day.

Pusser.......a great choice and welcome to the van conversions club. I'm sure you'll get on very well with the cassette loo, (just dont loose the cap down the sewer)

Thanks Badge. I am dying to get in it (the van - not the loo) but the weather is very wet and I don't want to get it dirty. Oh the pain. I keep walking to the window to look at it. Even more galling is that we are going to Spain next week and I am leaving her behind. Be one of the first holidays that I cannot wait to get back. Reasons are the cost of alteration to holiday company, slightly extra costs I suppose in getting there but offset by not needing two hotel stops - one there, one back and I want her fully serviced before I go anywhere and I cannot get that done in time with the Bank Hols coming up.
But magic. Last time I felt like this was undoing my first bra - not mine of course.
