Here's Paulie! Malibu?

Today after some shopping in Canterbury we had a little drive to Choose Leisure the motorhome and campervan (RV) dealers.

Over the last few weeks, and maybe months since April, we have lost a lot of faith in Marquis, the motorhome dealers, and Elddis, the manufacturers of Molly the Motorhome.

The full story will come out later when we have finally resolved the damp and the water ingress to parts of the body work and roof.

We talked about it when we were in Spain. maybe once the damp had been fixed under the 10 year SOLID warranty we'd look to get rid of Molly and by a campervan rather than a coachbuilt.

So for the last week or so we have been looking, off and on, on the internet for local dealers with vans for sale.

Should we stay with Elddis and go for a van, or move to a different manufacturer?

We saw a few different styles and sizes of vans at the Norfolk Campervan and Motorhome Show in July. There were some layouts that appealed to us, and of course we have quite a few different vloggers we watch on their YouTube channels.  Some with vans and others with coachbuilt motorhomes.

There were really only two things that would influence the decision:

a) it has to have an automatic gearbox
b) it has to have a fixed bed

Most other things would be open to discussion ay the time.

Today we looked at a few different campervans and decided that we really liked a Cathargo Malibu 6 metre van.  It's white and I would probably have wanted one of the dozen other colours but they are quite rare used. I have seen a few YouTube tests where one was orange and black, and another metallic deep red!

The model we looked at is called "Charming" as it comes with a host of optional extras already loaded. It meets our two main requirements.

I feel a deal coming along!
