Yes, I've been with RH for 3 years now - they don't try to bump up the price each year like some do and as you say, give excellent cover for the price :cheers:

Hopefully you'll have it on the road just in time for the snow :embarassed:

Cheers,
Robin.

Finally I can get an RH quote in October as I am buying a house with garage and off-road parking (Dormi and several landy sized). I look forward to the £120 range instead of £200 plus for current on street parking....

I feel garage envy coming up... :embarassed: Wish I had a nice garage where the dormi could fit in. It saves a lot of maitenance to the chassis and body if it can be dry stored instead of in the wet on the drive. I found that out with my last series 2a. It deteriorated quite rapidly.

Only if the garage is dry. I'm looking at getting a car port as there's not enough space to put a decent garage at the side of the house. That way the rain is kept off & wind can dry stuff out.

Welcome Michiel, glad to see that you purchased the Dormobile :gold: No point going all that way to look and coming back empty handed :wink:

I must be really fortunate because I built the garage on my house with a three metre high ceiling, I can park the dormobile in it with the roof up :whistle: It really is useful as I can sneak in the garage at night and work on it.

How much clear space above the open roof? And what tyres/springs?

I have standard rebuilt springs front and rear with Michelin XZL 7.50x16 tyres fitted. With the roof open then is only an inch or two spare and I have to park in the correct spot to miss the lights.

Garage is just high enough, door isn't......yet ;). Actually all being well and I am in the legal slog at the moment it technically has two garages and the first is plenty high enough for the time being. The second is a 3 car workshop with pit! So if I build a car port as well I could have 5 landys under cover. Fingers crossed it all progresses smoothly as I am having to get a second survey and it's all been delayed....

So we can expect the fleet to expand too?!?

Good luck. Second survey doesn't sound promising?
