biggrin I bought my first Motorhome a very nice 1994 Ford Transit Duetto.

My wife and I have been out in the Duetto for the past 4 weekends and are really enjoying things. The Duetto is a great starter as it is so easy to handle and use.
I am finding out what we need and what to do and its been a great new experience. I did not get a handbook when I bought it, so its been trial and error when using things.

We are looking forward to seeing the UK as we haven't travelled at all to this point. Looking forward to a good season:drinksallround



Cheers

If you have a look in the Factsheets you should find parts of the Duettos handbooks for that era
If what you need is not there pm me and I will search the manuals I have at home
Don't expect a quick response though as we still have 3 weeks away

Hi Roger

Thank you for your kind offer.

I got a handbook from Autosleeper for a 1996>on Duetto which unveiled some of the mysteries but was surprised when the handbook spoke of the over the over cabin bed?  I cannot see even when looking in a 1996 model online it has an over cabin bed space up!.

We are really enjoying our first Motorhome now called "The Gazelle" We are out this weekend to Cromer area and are planning a one week trip to the Yorkshire Dales in a few weeks time. Getting our priorities right and basing our lives around our leisure time has changed our lives. We bought the van as a starter to see if we would like the idea, wow we took to it like ducks to water and have really started to chill out.  When we arrive at our destination we just love being in and around the van, eating and relaxing with the occasional walk it's been marvellous.

Enjoy your 3 weeks away.

Cheers

Mike
