So we have treated ourselves to an RV as sleeping in th Dodge Ram and race trailers was wearing a bit thin. Look forward to going on holiday in it as well and maybe venture over to Europe on "walkabout"
It's a Fleetwood Bounder 36' long and just over 9 tonnes empty, with the race trailer she goes a little over 62' long and makes driving interesting on the back roads. It is a 7.5ltr with gas conversion so she will take 100 gallons of petrol and 260 litres of LPG - that should be good for the Nectar points!!

Awesome. What sort of license do you need to drive that monster with trailer?
Lets see the inside.

That looks superb, but get rid of that brown lol. Is it one of those where the sides come out? Like Maff says, more pics please.

I have taken the old stickers off and am having some more put on next week, nothing flash just some solid lines to tidy it up a bit. The whole RV is in pretty good nick for a 1998 and just needs some TLC which is what I have been doing over the last week or so.
It has only covered 54K so mechanically it's sweet just a few small dents and scrapes here and there but nothing that cant be sorted
It weighs in at just over 9 tonnes empty, not sure what licence you need to drive one but I have a class 1 HGV so didn't bother looking into it
