Any Motorhome Experts?

I'm in the market for a purpose built Motorhome.

I found what you need.

This is the best piss-take yet Finn.

[Finn]

Do you need a driver?

Mate, half the fun is driving one of these beasts. OUTTA MY WAY!!! Definite road superiority.

I will need a butler though.

Anybody here know a thing or two?

If you're handy with tools, buy a body and kit it out yourself. Much cheaper option and you get what you want. It's not that hard. Go visit the Gypsy people when they're in town and look around their buses, especially buses with about the same size as yourself. You'll know what works and what doesn't.

The longer the better but at 11m you might run into problems at motor camps because the bus is too long. Try to get a bus which by default has a flat floor, ideally 2.4m wide and 2m floor/ceiling height. 4x4 would be hanfy but is only on the tiny 7m buses.

When gutting the bus, never throw anything electronic away. It might turn out to be the $10k gearbox control unit located underneath a random seat and tow truck fees for buses are $1k ... oh and manual gearbox override won't work without that controller unit too

Good luck.

Tiffin Motorhomes, my friend.

No, this time I'm serious Lou.

Dear God!
Of course you realise that MV will repossess the bike?
Image and all that.

Tiffin Motorhomes, my friend.

Nice. I just saw one with a home theatre in it for $650,000US. I'll offer them $200,000NZ and see if they bite. I'll just tell them the exchange rate is $3.50, it's not like they'll know. They also said free delivery.

As someone else said, you're limited by the size of some of the motorcamps although I would only use them if necessary. It's amasing how quickly you'll use the space in an 11 metre bus and width is the real killer. Those extending sides are the trick.

Actually, the Italians make better motorhomes than the yanks. It's just all the electrics and gas that make them mobile time bombs.

My Father in Tauranga buys late model buses and converts them into Top Quality Motor homes. No short cuts. All the fruit. Beautiful finish. Can build to your specs. Will be starting on a new bus shortly.
