A Ford motor home??? What is that like?? The wide always says we should get one but I am not that enthusiastic! I do like the idea of a caravan and once over this horrible period of my life I intend to get one!!

How do people find the dsg and launch control???

We had a static caravan that we didn't want no more.. SWMBO wanted a touring caravan (uuuurgh, ... my reaction!!), so came up with a compromise, get a motorhome :| . Anyway after 2 years of waiting for it, she couldn't wait any longer, went and bought one of these the other week... and I am writing this now from it by Devil's bridge in Mid Wales

.

Great idea for a thread.

All great for filling with three mates and heading off to the hills with all your kayaking kit, before anyone notices that the usual starting with small hatches haven't figured in a list that spans a 15 year driving career so far.

Hired for our wedding and an absolute super charged hoot! Post wedding hooned around the Borders by both of us. Magical. One day I will have one as a weekend car. I know a proper roadster does it better, but the personal significance and memories won't be there.
