Hi Jetty

We had a carioca 656 purchased from Geoff Cox motorhomes in Derby wasnt that fussed on it very tight for space and we had 2 kids at the time what year is the van. Also found the interior quality not great and didnt keep it that long.

Try looking for a van with twin dinette, u lounge in the back. :up:

Carico motorhome

 ·  Posted: 03.03.2014  ·  #7
The motorhome is an 05. There is also a C1 Riviera 171 - 04. Dont know anything about them either. Trying to take our time and give good look around. The Dethleffs we have is a great bus, but its very long and i am nervous driving it. it has a u lounge. As da hubbie works weekends, i go away good bit with the 3 girls so bus a bit smaller would suit. I continue with the hunt.

If ye have any info on the C1 Riviera 171 - year 04, please let me know. Its great that ye men will do a bit of research for us women for a change!!!!

Thanks for your info on the Carico, will check out a few on wednesday when we off work and let ye know the outcome.

If the only reason you are changing is because it's a bit big and getting nervous take your time,

There's a lot of rubbish on the market aswell, better the devil you know and all that,

If you are new to driving the MH I'd say give it more time and plan your trips well in advance,

May be consider getting a driving lesson from an instructor in the MH and you may find a few tips very handy,

Hope this helps :up:
