    I'd been thinking of getting into Munroe Bagging when I eventually return to the U.K. in a couple of years after missing the wilds of my childhood. Your videos on Motorhome are fantastic, and genuine, really helpful in building my ideas for my semi-retirement Thanks for all these ideas, you've pretty much convinced me that a compact campervan would give me the benefits of comfort between hikes and wild camps. Excellently done!

    Thanks for a great summary of UK style motorhomes from small to large.
    Very timely as we are finally looking to buy a motorhome.
    BUT why does the UK seem about a decade behind N.America slider design layouts? Come to think of it, the internal decors of some of the motorhomes you showed weren't that dissimilar to the Commer Autosleeper our family had back in the 1970's.
    So is the lack of layout innovation in the UK due to regulations on dimension or weight, or due to UK campsite width restrictions? Or simply that UK customers are not aware of recent advances, and so are not asking for it?
    My cousin (living in the US) has recently bought a fairly compact Thor Gemini motorhome based on a Ford Transit (w/ V6 turbodiesel engine). It is smaller than some of the motorhomes you showed, and would easily come under a C1 UK licence. BUT with a whole wall slider appears to give two or three times the internal space of anything that you showed. That extra width opens up all sorts of new layout possibilities.
    Do you know if any of these type of designs are in the pipeline for this side of the pond? Thanks.

    • @TheMotorhomeMan
      @TheMotorhomeMan  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Muddy and I do not know why we are behind.The roads in the UK are not suitable for the RV's and yes weight is an issue there to.

    • @gasgas2689
      @gasgas2689 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You can if you want to, buy a US RV here. It will do about 7mpg on a run. Then when you get to a camp site you won't be able to get in through the entrance. You will only be able to use it on the M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 etc etc. Good luck to you! (Also their build quality is appaling, go and look at one!)

    Hi, we have a Bailey 620se Approach, it came with a bike rack which we don't use but can you suggest a luggage box that we could fit to go in it's place. It would be great to have a little extra space. Thanks for all your helpful videos, this is our first motorhome. We have only managed 3 trips so far but are looking forward to exploring the UK ASAP.

    You keep referring to those cupboard-mounted floor level heaters as 'gas and electric'. I thought they were always gas only. Do those you looked at actually run off 230v as well as gas? I've never seen one that does. They are excellent though, much more reliable and cheaper to fix than the combi boilers.

    Wonderful choice of layouts. How much & which makes would you recommend for a 1st time motorhome buyer. Budget I think around £23k to £25k. Looking for a 6 berth.
    Layout preference would be u shape end lounge, with overcab bed.
    Must have at least 4 Seatbelts, reverse camera & separate shower tray ( not a wet room combined wash area)
    Thank you
