Hi all,

I am looking for some info and hope some of you will be able to help.

I am looking for a 7 berth, but with a fixed double-bed at the rear. The ideal set up would be: double over cab, 2 dinette areas, one seating 4, the other seating two. I know the Burstner 747 has this layout but those I've seen for sale are simple too expensive for me at the moment. So, if there is a cheaper alternative (with similar sleeping arrangements) I'd like to hear about.

Sorry I can't help you Patrick, hope you find what you are looking for.

John.

Thanks John. I appreciate the good wishes.

Some good news on this front. I have managed to discover a possible alternative, it the Chausson Welcome 28GA.

It doesn't have six seats in the back, it has five. But five would do as we have five kids and as long as they each have a seat when we're driving then that should be fine, also it means they could alternate for a place up front with the Captain The good news is these Chausson models have almost the very same layouts and interior as the Burstner 747 - 2 but priced more appropriately to our budget!

After our last trip to France, last July/August, my wife and I promised ourselves that the next camper we get would have a fixed bed in the rear, which this one also has, and enough seats for the kids. We saw many beautiful campers with fixed beds in the past few months but they all, except for the Burstner 747 - 2 has only four seats in the dining area. So, because this Chausson has 5 seats things are looking more promising

We hope to see one later today in the hope of making a deal.

Travelling Man, you could have a look at the Rimor Superbrig 678.  It has 6 seats in the rear (5 with seatbelts).  A large double bed above the cab and bunk beds at the back to the side. 

Might be what you're looking for. 

Hi Bidsagogo, well, we went to see the Chausson Welcome 28GA but it didn't suite, the settee type seat was only big enough for two kids, we hoped it would do three.

Your advice about the Rimor Superbrig is on the mark as, as luck would have it, we saw one of those today, too!  It wasn't the Rimor Superbrig 678, something close to it but it has tonnes of seating in the U-Lounge and double dinette area.

We may well have to give up on trying to find something akin to the Burstner 747 - 2 and settle for a compromise, and the a Rimor Superbrig might well be the way to go.

Thanks.

Well, happy hunting - it feels like it's taken us forever to find what we were looking for.  Funnily enough, what we've ended up getting isn't anything like we'd planned to get.  Just goes to show, it's worth looking at anything and everything.

Mind you, still not picked it up yet so keeping our fingers crossed that it lives up to expectation!
