Hi

Have been looking at MHs today.  Totally confused by the choice out there.  Do Like the above mh. Anyone out there got one?  I have to say that having looked around 2 different dealers this was the only one that captivated me!

Cheers

Does it have a bathroom across the back?

if so I too like the look of this model (455/454?????) Good finish on the Bessacar units altough I think they are all made by Swift (?) and the same none Bessacar model is a bit cheaper with 'just' the Swift badge on the front.

As you live in Dudley you may find a few bessacar units at Brownhills motorhomes on the A5 just outside Cannock (new and used) that's where we saw them when we were looking

Thanks both for your advice.

We are off to have another look at the mh later.

Spent two hours at Brownhills yesterday, talk about "kid in a sweet shop".  Far too much choice.

Hi Lunnie, I have decided to stay with the motorhome for now, should have told peeps but been soooo busy.

Mandie, hope you get sorted with a motorhome, are you still looking at a Bessacarr? I have the 425 4 berth with the 'L' shaped lounge at the back. I have never had any trouble with it apart from small problem with a tap but that was minor. Good luck, let us all know what you finally get......

Mandie

We had a bessacarr E445 was lovely build quality was excellent but decided that a huge bathroom at the back was just a wast of space and needed bigger seating arrangement so changed but couldn't fault the bessie at all.  It is made by Swift but is the top of their range.

Hi All

Thanks for your advice, and the interesting chat about next years meets!

We have now gone for the Autosleeper Executive. Double berth above the driving bit and two singles in the back.  Daughter does not plan to sleep in the mh and will only be coming with us next summer, then the real battles will begin!  Son is very excited to be sleeping in mh but I suppose when sister stops holidaying with us he will want to bring a friend and use the tent.  Kids!

Picking mh up 21/8 and going to Aberyskwyth (or however you spell it) the following Sat for a week.

So excited.

Off to look for advice on the toilet chemicals.

Best wishes

Mandie

Hi Mandie,

Pleased to see you have gone for a good quality Van.

We had a Bessacar 7 series which was built like a caravan and in no way up to serious use.

After 2 years and 3 shower trays involving loss of use for months in the summer, we exchanged it for an Autosleeper Exec. Swift couldn't even bother to do a modification and insisted their dealer replaced the inadequate part with another the same.

Autosleepers are not perfect but the design has been refined over many years.

Built like a tank and of lasting value.
