after many months of looking we ars still struggling to find the right 6 berth van, we are looking at twin axle 6 berths, other than Hobby, what other make of van should we stay clear of, so that prople dont think that we own a fair ride etc.
we have seen a Elddis and abi that we like, are these makes ok?????
If anyone knows of a 6 berth twin axle upto around £5500 please let us know, none of our local dealers have any in, and not found the right one yet.
revised: on second thought's be careful with this ebayer..his record is far from exemplary!

Hi,
We're on our third Elddis. All of them have been different layouts but there is one common thread running through all of them. For us, they have been excellent quality and utterly reliable.
We really cannot fault the brand. Others may speak differently.
thanks grub, the one at under £3000 has been on ebay about 4 times and has not sold, the munster look ok, but no toilet and also looks a little like a fair van to me,
We have a Swift Conquerer, she's 1990 model which now would be old, everything still works like it should. Bunk beds at rear, not fixed, side dinette/single bed, and the front is a king size. Very roomy and an open feeling, if you know what i mean. Only problems we've had is damp at front, caught in time, from the awning rail & front rail, both resealed now. And the skylight had been letting in water, in process of replacing & sealing. Any van you get may suffer damp if not resealed when needed. But for a 1990 model, you could say that's not bad.....I'm not in no rush for a new van.
You are unlikely to keep a Roma for long, or be welcomed on civilised sites. Basically if any make is normally towed by White Van Man or me little lorry, run away!
Hi, Can't really tell you which ones not to buy otherwise some people will be offended. I particulrly like the look of Swift Conquerors and Elddis Crusader Siroccos but not sure what berth they go up to. We currently have a Coachman Laser and love the high build quality....I think other Coachman models do a 6 berth....Floyd.
