Good morning everybody, we currently have a Fendt 750 le vogue and a Touareg tow car. The caravan is currently occupied by two Ukrainian lady refugees! Given the cost of fuel/insurance for both, (I have recently bought a disel polo runaround, 60 instead of 30mpg) I thing we would like to sell those on and try motorhoming, we have avoided in the past as always parked the van, france or wherever then gone in the car exploring, went looking at used motorhomes yesterday trying to see the best layout (only two of us, me 75 plus two dogs) what looked like the nicest combination was a 2007 Burstner Elegance I 690G, whilst we always like the fixed bed (island in the Fendt) the 'price' of having it up two steps giving the garage underneath seems too hard to ignore(we have recently bought a pair of ebikes, the thought of them exposed to tealeaves on the rear gives me the shudders) the shower in this was exceptionally spacious, the double floor is a bonus, the only thing that looked a bit wrong in the layout was kitchen worktop space, cooker with adjacent sink, no worktop. Having had a google there appears to be two different engine sizes, 2.3, in the one we looked at plus a 2.8, does anyone know why the difference? Unlike cars there is no given mpg figures, what is anyones experience? Any advice at all much appreciated.
Rgds
Mike.
