New to the forum, so please forgive me if this is the wrong place and point me to a better place if it exists.

We are recently retired and have been looking at MH's for ages. There's only ever going to be two of us and some of the must haves include

  • Automatic (or my wife won't drive it)
  • Kitchen » a hob, grill, oven, decent size fridge/freezer (would like a Microwave but not 100% essential)
  • Washroom » Toilet, with separate shower rather than a wet room
  • Storage » relatively decent storage (including in/around the kitchen) both internally and externally
  • Sleeping » Comfortable sleeping for two.
  • Table » A decent sized table that is movable to allow easier getting up and down and general moving around without having to fold it or put it away.
  • Length - Prefer 6M with 6.2M the absolute max or it won't go on the drive (we don't want to put it in to storage).

We've looked at lots of layouts & brands but seem to be narrowing things down to the Roller Team TLine 590.

One reservation on most layouts is the transverse bed (fixed, make-up or drop down) obviously means one of us crawling over the other to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. Hmmm….

Oh, and we also need to take our terrier dog.

With all this said, do you have experience of Roller Team, and if possible the TLine 590? Good, bad, recommend or avoid? We'd probably be looking at a 2020 or 2021 if buying used due to the reduction in payload in more recent models. While I have a licence to drive heavier plated vehicles, I don't want any licence issues if I make it to age 70+.

Thanks if you made it through this far!

    A 2020/21 should have the torque converter gearbox and it was a good one. Earlier models had the automated manual comfortmatic which has a poor reputation.

    To my mind the 6m to 6.2m max size is good. I think you’re on the right track.

    Thanks @Tinwheeler

    Anyone actually own one? If so, what year?
