Buying a motorhome

Tips for buying a motorhome.

Buying a motorhome is a really big investment.  They go from thousands of pounds to hundreds of thousands of pounds. Some motorhomes cost more than houses cost – and look more luxurious as well.  So we are here to offer you tips and advice on buying a motorhome.

I am sure you have loads of questions? 

I know when we were buying ours we had an absolute tonne of them.

  • What type of motorhome or van do you want? 
  • What lay out do you want your van or motorhome to be?
  • What are your must have items vs your nice to have items in the motorhome/van?
  • Are you going to use it for holidays or weekends or live in it fulltime?
  • Are you a family or a couple?
  • How many seatbelts do you need?
  • Is the journey as important as the destination?
  • What driving licence type do you have?
  • What weight should the motorhome/van be.
  • What is a payload? 

The questions are endless.  The questions above are ones that you may or may not have answers to by the time you go to view, but having them in your head will help as you narrow down the choices available to you.
