Our motorhome
Motorhoming came to my wife and I as a natural progression. When I was a child, my dad drove the family around Europe in a variety of VWs, Dormobiles and Ford Transits for our holidays and, when I was an adult, my family and I camped and caravanned for many years.
As our boys began to decide on their own holiday plans and, with the pleasure of time that semi-retirement brings, we bought a Chausson. When we were ready for the next one, and in consideration of extended winter trips in addition to touring during the other three seasons, our requirements were therefore quite specific.

A GOOD SLEEP
It was MMM’s own and hugely knowledgeable Peter Vaughan who once (probably more than once) asserted that a big part of a successful motorhome is a good drive and a good sleep, and how insightful his words have proved to be for us.
Although there was plenty to like about the Chausson, the preference for a fixed bed (as opposed to dropdowns) soon became clear.
