July 2007 – April 2009
1989 Talbot Pilote R470 Motorhome
Our first motorhome, bought from Darryl and Karen for £5,000 with absolutely no idea what we were doing. Lots of local trips with friends, Drayton Manor theme park, lovely campsite, firm favourite. Fantastic.
Honest review
We loved this van.
We loved this van. It was absolutely gorgeous, proper old-school character, but it was quite old and it did smell of damp. For a first motorhome bought at £5,000 with zero experience, it did everything we needed: lots of local trips with friends, Drayton Manor theme park, lovely campsite, firm favourite, and it got us hooked.
The honest verdict: it was old. You lived with the quirks. Whether we'd buy another one, no, because we moved on quickly and never looked back. But we don't regret it for a second.
