JeffC Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 just sold an old shape sprinter that i built to sell, and still have my new shape sprinter that ive converted which is spot on for the 3 karts and 3 of us on weekends away we are doing 6 weekends racing on the trot at the mo BUT my youngest lad age 7 has just had his first go in a kart and loves it so if all 4 of us are racing and swmbo comes along we will need a trailer and something bigger and thinking if we bought a good motorhome as well as weekend use we could use it during the week to take off for a few days when the kids r off current race van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stanton Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Do be careful when looking at motorhomes with "garages" ......... because you have to be really careful not to over-load them and they could make your living area stinky with oil and fuel.... not good for resale. Garage's on some models sometimes have large rear overhang not always good if you also want to tow Also consider a motorhome with towbar to pull a suitable self contained trailer for all your karts and kit Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffC Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Race-Tr....0e6874a thats about what i had in mind just not sure I could spend £30,000 on a Renault, tbh im not sure I would spend £30 on a renault Mark I take on board your comments on the garage thing, at the mo my sprinter has all the weight behind the wheels and its fine although it does sit a tad low , only want to fit a cadet in garage and other karts will fit in trailer.

Mark Stanton Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 That's not too far off the mark for a bespoke motorhome/racetruck unit ....... they're b****y expensive ............but do check out its possible to fit a towbar if you also want a trailer - the towbar must be fitted to chassis and often the rear garage section is supported on "extensions" strong enough for motorhome but not always to fit a tow-bar to But also think of the good times ahead with holidays in the camper touring europe with a couple of scooters in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffC Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 QUOTE they're all dodgy characters.... from my experience they all are couldnt fancy a left hooker and defo not a petrol scranner Mark I see what you mean now about the tow bar and the rear extended part good point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Jeff - take a trip to one of the big retailers such as Brownhills even just to have a nosy around the different layouts and styles you might need more "day space" so a fixed bed might not be best option or visa versa ....... make sure you take all the clan to ensure you have one big enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.anson Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Jeff with your skills I'd have thought you would have picked up a s/h 7.5 tonner at the auctions. You can get a half decent one for about 3k. You can convert the interior for living and have A garage at the backwith taillift if your lucky. I've seen some s***e on eBay for silly money so with a decent job you would probably see a decent return. If you've no time you could convert a horsebox. Living area already done. Would just need to get rid of the smell of horse s**t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have an on board generator, to save messing about with a portable, and an awning on the side etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
