Alas work calls and having toured Europe for the best part of a year we are selling our Winnebago Sightseer RV as we won't be able to go away in her for a couple of years at least and could be longer so no point hanging onto her.

This RV is an ideal size for use in Aires and wildcamping in Europe because the length is similar to a lot of the European motorhomes however the slides mean you get a huge more amount of space with a full size shower and less time worrying about where to dump cassettes.
We lived off grid all through winter due to the ample 460AH batteries onboard and the 500W solar panels and with an onboard inverter essential mains items can be used (hair dryer!).
We also used it around the UK with Britstops and other P4N sites. It never missed a beat in our travels and I was so confident in the reliability that we didn't have breakdown cover for the vast majority of the time. Was MOT'd last week with no issues so a year of MOT available and ready to set off on a new adventure for the new owner. Any inspection of the RV is welcome and if you are new to motorhoming will be prepared to give plenty of help and guidance on getting started.

Minor Extras to make life easier:-
- Remote controlled Docking Lights to help with night manoeuvring, sitting outside or approaching RV in dark.
- House battery to chassis battery charger (when house batteries are fully charged bleeds voltage to the chassis battery to keep it topped up to avoid flat battery).
- Builtin LPG tank (good for >4 weeks in good weather) with take off for gas barbecue and full set of European filling adapters.
- Fully wired to 240V electric with option to run on either generator or hookup.
- External shower point.
- New tyres fitted in 2016 so plenty of life remaining (age and tread).

- Interior LED lighting throughout for low battery drain with additional lighting units over Winnebago standard to increase brightness.

- Weather station with internal/external temps & forecast and clock.
- Trip computer with range left to empty in addition to other standard functions.
- Mains battery charger capable of charging all 4 house batteries concurrently.

- Electric retractable steps.
- Retractable awning for sun/rain shade.
- Water heater powered by LPG, Electric or water bypass from engine whilst driving.
