It might be a shock when you add up everything you carry then see what you got left!

Until I started to look into buying a motorhome two years ago I had not really thought about payloads - now i'm painfully aware of it

I am absolutley certain we must have been over when camping (tenting) in the days before the van as we used to have an estate car filled to hilt (including roof box), two of us (not particularly slim) three kids, dog and sometimes bikes on the back as well !!! I wonder how many more on the road haven't considered payload. And what would happen in an accident - are you still insured if driving!

scary stuff eh

The Tracker on the "Scudo" looks good at first glance.

However just ask yourself why did Autotrail drop the Scudo and then put the Tracker onto the back of the Ducato?

Rocket science not required!

Hope you don't mind me jumping on o this site. my husband has just brought home details of a Trgano Tribute. '54 plate. 3,200mls. 2.3diesel. £21,995 (private sale)

I can't recall seeing one before. Does anyone have one? What are they like? Would this be a good buy at this price.

I've looked on the commercial sites and they all seem to be 2 grand more than this asking price.

They are very similer to ours, Does this mean that your hubby is coming round to what a great idea it is.

Seems a fare price but you could always make them an offer. Second hand ones sometime have the advantage of having extras with them like awnings, bike racks etc. which can add up to quite alot.

JenAll,

Although he denies his interest in motorhomes and says he will only do one trip a year, it is one more than he said he would do last year. He seems to talk about it quite a lot though. 

I think it is the money side that he doesn't want to get drawn into...but then that is John. He hates spending money on anything but if I pay, it is alright!

He's a lovely fella really.

Joan why dont you put your post on a new topic, headed ( Any one gotTriango Tribute ) more folk might see it and give you their thoughts. I think it is lost in this thread.

Bet John would want to come more with a bigger van, if you buy one you could charge him a fee for having his hols iit. LOL
