CREATE A HANDY SHELF

For years, we were lucky enough to run a Goliath of a Concorde motorhome. It wasn’t new (apart from to us), otherwise it would have been well outside our price bracket – we were the second owners.

That beast could comfortably seat a dozen people around the central table, and was a delight to drive, partly thanks to its Mercedes automatic gearbox.

Alas, time flies and we felt the urge to get back within that 3.5 tonne limit, as the regular medicals and sight tests were becoming increasingly worrying. So in 2017, we traded in our Concorde for a diminutive Hymer MLI 540, the shortest model in the range.

We got all the good bits that we enjoyed in the Concorde, including Alde heating, a full cooker, a garage, an automatic gearbox and more.
