    BB, we're interested whether the Smove will look as good in real life and how big are the models. The video was stunning in itself! N&B make motorhomes that are just a bit too big for us which is a shame because our favourite motorhome of all time was our
    Arto.

    there are four models, two at 6.9m and two at 7.4m

    the smaller pair both have transverse beds over a garage, the larger pair have twin singles...

    each pair has an alternate lounge set up, either twin side benches or one bench and a '(saloon) bar' arrangement with a separate third captains chair.....youll know what i mean if youve seen the video.

    incidently, have you seen the new Hymer Dynamic Line range, very interesting....

    We're delighted with our Laika MH!  It's built in Italy and has quality and style written all over it.

    Write your comments here..." Morello's" are built by a couple of ex directors from the " Concorde" stable.They left taking all the gained knowledge/contacts with them.Also next door to the Concorde factory ," Pioneer" have done just the same thing !! Imitation
    & flattery,
    springs to mind !!

    Laika, Delthleffs, N+B, all part of the Hymer group these days.

    much common ground across the ranges (standards, no doubt) but each 'company' seems to able to maintain its identity and brand values....some cracking vans in the portfolio...Happy

    they dont make caravans....whereas some of the major European players do....Hymer, Adria, Knaus, Buerstner etc...Happy

    according to a recent Hymer press release, N+B sit at the top of the Hymer organisation, ahead (even) of Hymer itself....

    ...with Hymer and Laika next in the pecking order, followed by Dethleffs, and then Buerstner in the mid-range.....

    i see youre betting ready again....our 'enforced' stay (i mean that in the nicest way.....) due to little addition, continues as daughter cant drive for another four weeks and SIL has to go back to work today....OH and i are on dog walking and 'general factotum'
    duties for a bit, though trying to sneak away this weekend when SIL has a few more days off, though caming on a Bank Holiday weekend is unheard of for us.....

     I saw an N+B  this last visit to Re, it was wild camping on that piece  of ground adjacent  to the La Couarde sewage works . We couldn't  believe anyone would by a beautiful  vehicle like that then camp downwind of that.

    Write your comments here...after paying 150k for the van probably cant afford site fees anymore...  Some people though put it down as a badge of honour to not spend any money on sites but prefer to enjoy their holidays on car parks, sewage works etc. each to their own.

    there'll be one in every town/village, ranging from a concrete car park to a wonderful scenic spot by a river or even way up in the mountains....thing is, if you don't fancy one, there's another a few km up the road...
