Hi All, Have just retired from Army after 42.5 yrs - have the BT50 ready to go - just waiting on various imported parts for the x-country van to be released from Customs and nailed together by MDC.

Hi All, could you please tell me what is the one thing you feel is most important to have when you travel? Motor homes seem to come with very small fridges, would you buy a larger one if you could fit it in by getting rid of something else? Your advice will be very much appreciated. Warm regards, Ruth
