Chaff 3,621 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Japs make the best 4x4s except for the one I owned lol Got a lexus 400h that's doing quite nicely at the moment it is a reliable cheapish to run that was cheap because of a few electrical problems one being the tailgate not opening which I managed to sort. As much as I used to moan about driving landys where I worked they sure gave my rebuilt knee a good bit of physio lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,440 Posted December 21 Author Report Share Posted December 21 Well the misses didn’t like the hymer to big and left hooker so never bothered, but still been keeping an eye on things over the last year mind changing from one thing to another have looked at everything from a Winnie baygo to a c15 Roma home but hard finding the right size with all the features you require then I spotted this thing, la strada ,never heard of them but done some research and seems a top end German outfit, still going today and with a uk owners club which helps, the van has a drop down double bed in the roof nice cooker fridge etc decent bathroom with shower air con blown air heating full solar seats four and sleeps four all in a sprinter base, needs a few bits of bodywork sorting but recon I can double or even treble my money come summer after chucking a couple more quid at it because I bought it for silly cheap money 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
