Without going to silly budgets, is there anything on your motorhome that you "wish you had?"

Top of my list at present is a doggy ramp for Jenny, and a pull out ironing board! I am off to B&Q etc tomorrow to research the latter. Auto-Sleepers offer this in one of their models.

Russ darling if you feel this urge to iron please feel free to call round as mount iron has built up again after hols. Can provide numerous cups of tea and lots of chatting - am really good at watching!

Some sort of anti rain device would be nice.

Nope....mine is perfect! Very Happy

Seriously though if I could afford it I would upgrade our old Truma gas heating system to either the new type also powered from 240V or rip the lot out and replace with an Eberspacher diesel Combitronic system for heating and water.
It would also be nice to have Gaslow, but we can't because our van operates on the old German 50 mbar pressure.

I'd like heating in the back of mine when we are traveling, as the girls get really cold in winter and have to wrap up in blankets Sad

A headrest would be nice. I would like more comfy designer front seats, auto, bigger engine, but I don't think it likely I will get any of these things, especially the headrest. I have also put canoes on hold see below.

I am beginning to question whether motorhoming is really for me. I haven't used the motorhome for holidays much but have never had a trip where something has not broken or refuses to work. I know lots of you on here could have mended some of these things but I can't. When the director I think of Elite told me I ought to learn how to mend some basic things as this is what motorhoming is all about I thought he was having a laugh but I see now he didn't expect my purchase to last five minutes without something breaking.

However, I love it for traveling but when I sell Porky I will not be getting another one and if I have not moved to France, I will rent villas, mobile homes or hotel it instead and go by car as we used to without anything breaking.

Used to have one that I installed in a kitchen draw space years ago that was aquired after taking out an old kitchen in a clients house, they work very well, though flex a little more than the stand alone types. (B&Q are probably not the place to research them IMHO).
