Motorhome Layouts...
Discussion
Partly prompted by the "Caravan layouts..." thread, but also when I posted on the Show us your gear thread someone asked what the interior was like and I had no pictures, so to remedy that and give the MH/RV owners chance to show off their units.
Covers on the dinette area and plastic floor covering is to stop the 3 dogs getting mud everywhere
Reminder of what the outside looks like
Lets see what you have

Hybrids,
That looks like a bit of a beast! Can't help but notice left hand drive and automatic - is it petrol?
Must drink like a fish!?

I get around 9mpg all loaded up and towing (around 6500kg), but still making reasonable progress. I can nurse it along and eek out 12mpg. We only do around 3k miles PA so not worth getting LPG.
It's V10 6.8Ltr, IIRC they are just over 300bhp and around 400Lbs ft. torque.

So you'd be nudging £2000 of fuel for your 3000 miles a year. How much is an LPG conversion?
Makes my 28-30mpg I get with the caravan positively frugal!!
I seem to recall around £3500 to £4000 at the time with a decent size tank.
A few things put me off; some V10 owners were having issues, though that may have been down to a non suitable LPG kit.
Even on LPG the equivalency only seemed to work of to 14mpg at best and not the "double your mpg" often banded around.
It's a hell of an upfront cost and a long time to recover. The fuel economy does not bother me, it's just something else that goes on the racing budget or holiday budget.

Yeah, 14mpg isn't exactly a deal breaker is it A few things put me off; some V10 owners were having issues, though that may have been down to a non suitable LPG kit.

I would love to buy an Autocruise Rythum. The layout is this. Bench seats can be used as two singles or make a huge double
If I were buying a van conversion that's what I'd buy, just like a bigger coachbuilt inside.We've a 2013 one in stock that's coming on holiday with me in a few weeks if no one snaps it up first.
