Mervyn the Mercedes , a 1982 Pioneer 6 berth , old and slow but reliable !

Bought as Toby the Talbot Camelot wasn't big enough for me the mrs and our 8 month old baby Holly! .

Glad I found this site and other local motorhomers!

Hi Phillip. I had many 307ds at work, ultra reliable but utilitarian, but my supervisor was a big Philomena Begley fan (the last one we had was her tour van) and kept it going for years .

It is utilitarian alright and having 65 hp (at best) and that weight to pull is a challenge in itself , hills take forward planning but sure i'm never in any real hurry and I enjoy the challenge haha
