Yup - it is interesting seeing the number of MHs that are being built on Peugeot chasis at the moment because they are cheaper than the equivalent Fiat unit. Fiat however have a network of "Professional" garages that can get a MH up in the air for servicing etc. I don't think that many Peugeot dealers have the same lift facilities...
How different are the Fiat's and Pugs these days?
I seem to recall back in the late nineties when my Dad first bought a MH to live in full time the Ducato and Boxer were pretty much identical

Yeah I was going to say, are they not the same base vehicle anyway. Built in the same factory, but different engine. Don't know if the ECU/diagnostics are compatible.

They were always virtually identical bar sometimes an engine option, all built by Fiat, currently tho the Fiat is the new X8 version which Pug and Citroën and Vauxhall don't get yet so there's a price difference and all are virtually not available anyway which makes it a really "fun " industry to work in!
