Rosehip 19 Feb 5:09pm, 19 Feb 2024 31,263 posts	0 Rosehip We went to the show at the NEC on Friday, anyone else go? Prices of new vans are eye watering! There were some innovative and different ideas that, with a lottery win, would be nice. noted that there are some possible options for those who wanted a garage in a 6m van - but at a cost. Anyway, Puriclean - I've just run some through the water system for the first time. Anyone else use it or similar? How often? I gather it should be every 6 months or so, but following the instructions uses an awful lot of water and I'd rather not do it much unless I have to.

I still can’t justify a cost to change of £50k when the motorhome is perfectly good enough and the only user of it is still me. Yes, for me as a solo traveler the campervan option might be more flexible, but it’s also quite a compromise in terms of space and comfort - and expensive!! The single biggest drawback of the motorhome is its size - otherwise it ticks all the important boxes.
