When will people realise that owning a motorhome is not economically viable. You are at the mercy of the sharks companies who specialise in the leisure Industry. They pick us fat cats clean and take great pleasure by giving bad service. I did not necessarily include Peter Joe in that even though his employees at Peterborough said he was a complete and utter wanker. Whilst it is true that their are a lot of sharks in the leisure industry, as well as companies who are not interested in after-sales service (which is not necessarily the same thing as being a shark), I don't believe that one can unequivocally state that ' owning a motorhome is not economically viable', as it all depends on how one uses the vehicle in question. For the last 25 years, the only vehicles I have owned have been MHs. Nevertheless, allowing for the increased costs of MH owning (and running) as opposed to those of a decent car (less the amount saved in not having to pay for air/train/coach fares to destinations, the cost of accommodation once there, and the ability immediately to pick up sticks and move to somewhere new for any reason at all), I have no doubt that owing a MH has actually saved me an immense amount of money - as if all the benefits could be quantified in monetary terms - even after allowing for club memberships and camping fees. However, I would not dream of suggesting that owning a MH is economically beneficial for all owners of them because, as I said previously, it all depends on how one uses them. You must bear in mind Knackers that I used the phrase 'uneconomically viable' just so you would all go "ooh, that 747 sounds intelligent".
My next important sounding statement is this ...... Never eats Prawns if there is a Z in the month.
Arent I wonderful, just like that Steven Hawking but with a Geordie accent.

But you ARE wonderful because Tuggles led us all to believe that you were on your deathbed but here you are, spry as a spring chicken, swapping witty repartee like a young un. PS: I do hope that you're not like Stevie Hawking 'cos it must be difficult driving your MH whilst perched in a wheelchair.

Hi all how else can you go on holiday with all your crap surrounding you?
Or with all the things you have to take like tv, dogs, beer,gizmos, kids,more beer,wife (to open beer) possibly in that order, and you can always sell the van after you have done with it till itchy feet start again.
Does not have to be too expensive I have just had delivered a set of continental vanco winters 225/75/16 off fleabay £217 a guy has 100 or so of them taken off a fleet of new 4x4 sprinters although being an auction you could obviously end up paying more or less than I did, he did want £300 buy it now but chanced a last minute bid.
Sorry bout the boring 1st post and I will not be achieving any awards cos I'm always to busy working, thrashing wife/kids and fitting fecking tyres to look on here to often.
I also need to get out motorhoming more.....

Evening Seth, good first post. I bought 2 new Continental vanco 2 tyres off Ebay for £140 delivered which I was pleased with. Got the MOT next week so will have to get them fitted before it goes for it. Sounds like you got a good deal with yours.

747 isn't really ill. He's just making out he's got a 'chest' cos he's too lazy to take the dogs for a walk. His poor long-suffering wife has to do it, and then cook his meals (and mine too, the last couple of evenings, thank you Ann) clean the van etc. Jumbo just sits around or drifts around basically doing SFA. He did carry some water today, but it was only a small glass. He's a nice enough chap but he clearly believes in taking life easy.
Now I'm going to lock my door in case he chucks a farty pug in here with me.

Welcome Seth! I thought you were dead! I am assuming your Seth from Emmerdale but I could be wrong. Tuttys is quite right about your Avatar. If your going to post on here you need a good Avatar. If I have to do one for you it wont be pleasant! DO IT MAN! If its boring or shite I will change it or if you piss me off I will change it also! Apart from that it is fun on here!
