Hello Forum

This is my Hello to the Forum.

I have only recently discovered the Auto-Sleeper Owners Forum and am quite pleased by what I have seen to date. My wife and I have been motorcaravanning since 2001, spending 4-5 months per year touring mainland Europe in our Duetto.

We have had two Duettos, the first on a MK5 Transit (7 years) and the second and current model on a MK7 Transit. We have visited 14 different countries (15 if you count in the UK) and have been to the northernmost, the southernmost and the westernmost points of Europe during our travels. Also been over all the 9000+ ft passes in the Alps.

Every time we think that we are getting to be old hands at this game and know a thing or two, we meet someone on an Aire who has been full-timing for 4 years and has been to Moscow for Easter!

We enjoy visiting historical sites, lounging round, touring through beautiful scenery and generally massing about.

Next March we intend to swap the Duetto for a Warwick Duo in order to get a little more space and the benefit of readily available beds. I just hope that the Peugeot Boxer is as good a base vehicle as the Transit has been.

That's all for now, if anyone wants to ask anything, just ask ........... Michael

From another Mk7 Tranny owner, we thought about downsizing this year to a Warwick but it was too much of a downgrade on size and base vehicle.
Seriously though the Warwick is a good seller in Duo form time will tell if the big one takes off to the same degree, but if you have to buy Italian it would be my second choice ( 1st choice not an A-S van)
