The Memsahib and I had MotorHomes for 20 years and travelled all over Europe from the toe of Italy to the Russian border. We absolutely loved it and strangely our final one was a Merc with a Compass conversion.
Best thing for restful holidays but having done it we now don't really want to go back as the second time around things don't seem to have the same magic. Good luck to you old chap.
