Hi all....I am new to this site although not new to motor caravanning having participated man and child since 1972.
My father bought a Bedford Bedouin back then and for 8 years we toured europe (until i started work in 1980). Then, last year, my wife and I bought an Auto-Sleeper Rambler (on a Talbot chassis) primarily so that we could escape now and then with the dog from the rat race of work.
However, since november last year, I have been working during the week in London but my home is inthe west country, so have been using the 'van as a base during the week. As you can imagine, this is cosy to say the least.
SO....now is the time to start the search for our dream RV.
Having scanned the site of US dealers there appears to be plenty available BUT......some I have seen appear to have delamination problems with the sides of the vehicles.
Is this a common problem? Is this something I should be seriously worried about? Is it something that can be easily fixed? (I have a feeling it is not!!!) :?
Early days at the moment...but definitly going to import. I consider the prices of some of the early '90s stock available here to be WAY over the top (especially when I have see a gorgeous Pace Arrow (1993 vintage) with all the toys and space (34ft) for £12k (equivalent) in Florida. 8)
Over to you guys to put me on the straight and narrow!!!!!
