Hi Sharon Welcome to the forum its lovely to have you on here, we have a few people on here with demountables so you are not alone. You've got your motorhome just at the right time for the start of the camping season the best advice I can give is find a nice campsite and try it out, you will soon know what you need and what you have got, We are having a meet at Woverley see HERE you would be made most welcome if you wanted to come. Hope you have lots of great trips in your new "toy". Graham |

Hi Sharon
Welcome to the most useful and friendly forum for Romahome owners.
We have only been owners for a few months but thanks to the forum we (Hilary and I) feel like old timers.
The best tip I can suggest is to HAVE FUN and don't be afraid to ask for help.
Malcolm

Hi, welcome Sharon.
I've had a c15 romahome since last year and am totally in love with it! Stumbling across this site is the best thing I ever did!
You will find everyone here so helpful and friendly......and mad as hatters ;D (no offence anyone, I do include myself!!!) and if you have a problem there always seems to be someone who has overcome it or can advise you
Enjoy yours!

Pauline hadn't ever driven anything other than a small car but she prefers to drive our Dimension now, she feels safer in it. Graham |

hi, it has a cooker, lights carpet curtains, 2 single beds that can turn to a double, over cab bed, lots of storage a sink but no fridge but we have a small fridge that can plug in the 12v adapters that we have, we dont think it has a water tank but we can manage with water bottles

just thought I would give you a quick update, we have been out in the van about 4 times now and we love it, we have had the back door sorted so the wind doesnt blow through, Our little baby fridge fits in just nice, we have bought a EHU cable and since I sorted the tyre pressures out, it drives much better. The hills dont seem to be a problem and after camping in a small tent this is luxery!!

I used to camp years ago, so I know where you're coming from. Luxury for me too. I gave my tent away the last time of using b/c of back probs and constant stooping - and lying on the floor to sleep on an air bed, cooking on a wobbly table - I could go on... Isn't it lovely to have a comfy bed, a fridge, a cooker and EHU on board? Legs down and kettle on! |
