Hi Folks, wave Dave in a far corner of a sogy Lincolnshire here. I have just bought a Duetto after a long serch for a reasonable motorhome to suite our pocket and needs. We have been outdoor people for many years, from tents through to trailer tents and now to a Motorhome. We are too old for sleeping on the floor sober blushes , trailer tents were a pain to dry after a wet holiday and I am alergic to caravans so a Motorhome is our next adventure. After seeing some horible, exspensive, smelling of wet dog and rusty motorhomes we nearly gave up. We were in the Wiltshire area on another marthon hunt and I got two vans mixed up and went to the Portsmouth area before Southamton. We found a 1997 Duetto, high milage, not too rusty and full service history. I know Transits so hopefully the milage shouldnt be an issue. It has been tarted up with new carpets but looks ok so we took the plunge and bought it. Domestic management says ok , it must have been the crockery that tiped the balance. girl-thinking Any way we pick it up a week on Saterday so here goes for a new venture. Any warnings or coments apreciated from you more nolageable people out there.

Hi there,

Welcome from what has been a warm and sunny day in Skegness!! beachball

Great choice of MH (but we are biased) and anything under 100,000 miles for a Transit is "just run in" so I wouldn't worry about mileage if the cam belt has been changed as per makers recommendations! allthumbz

Best regards,
drinksallround
