Go the Isuzu . The 6.5 GM has issues with electronic injection pump and various electrical things like lift pump. The vacuum pump
Fails often! It controls the wastegate only . . Ive had mine for 6 years . Sorted most the issues out with external PMD for better elect cooling , proper wastegate ! Better lift pump . Larger fuel
Filter, 3 bar map sensor ! ., The actual living area with fold up
Bed, rear shower & toilet is fine . Two water heating systems . 240v elect and LPG . Diesel heater under lounge ! Oh 5k diesel generator too ! Plenty of under floor storage .

A friend of mine hired a motor home in New Zealand and said it was a hassle to pack everything away just to go down the street for some milk or do a bit of sightseeing. That's the main reason why I bought a caravan.

Buzz its a matter of being organised ! These motorhomes have 200l plus fridge freezer . The security of simply driving away if theres any issues from unwanted aggression etc . The only thing hooked up is the 240v power cord . Due to self levellers / stablisers setting up again is not an issue !! We generally move every 5 days . Though we have stopped at some places for over 3 weeks ( 80 mile beach WA ) could have camped longer !! Plus they are larger than most caravans ! Why the MR licence !!

My motorhome will be towing an 8x5 trailer with my motorbike and a few tools in it. The motorhome will get me fron A to B and living in.The bike will get me everywhere else.
