American-RVs

Have you seen the price of American RVs?

If

you’d like a motorhome as luxurious as a hotel suite, it’s now possible

to buy an American RV, with a high level of kit, for about the same

price as a European ‘van. We compare two excellent pre-owned Coachmen

Miradas from a pair of top RV dealers: Signature Motorhomes in

Westcroft, Wolverhampton and Travelworld in Telford, Shropshire.
