Viewing some potential Motor homes.

What a day! We left at nine o'clock and it took one and a half hours to drive up to Freedom motor homes just north of Gloucester, there to view some big American RV's.
At least the car had a good test to check out any problems after its repair and thankfully it went great guns so thumbs up to A&S Auto repairs, your mechanics may not be the cleanest on the block but they know their stuff.

Andy the proprietor showed us around some of the units in his stock.
Below are the units we viewed that seemed to fit what we are looking for these were.........


2006 Thor Hurricane- 30F
2007 Holiday Rambler Arista
2008 Fourwinds Windsport 31D
2006 Coachmen Mirada

Only the 2008 Windsport ticked most of the box's that we were after, like double glazed windows, fully winterized with loads of storage and a Petrol / LPG conversion with long range LPG tanks.
The layout was fairly close to what we were looking for but the main downside was that the toilet and shower area was not isolated and Kay felt very unhappy with this as it lacked a great deal of privacy.


We're going to visit other dealers this month as well to view their stocks first and if nothing fits what we're looking for we could always make an offer that if the price was lower on the Windsport then we could afford to have this section redesigned.


We stopped off for a really tasty meal just a few yards down the road at the Oakwood restaurant in Twigworth. The food and great and it was very good value as they offer a two meals for ten pounds and the service provided was first class.
The weather was nice and sunny as we traveled through the forest of Dean full of autumn colour so we decided to stop off for a coffee break at the picturesque town of Ross on Wye. We spent a couple of hours walking around the old town and strolling by the river, just wish I'd remembered to pack the camera.

So now we're back home safe and sound and planning our next trip.
