Used Motorhomes for Sale

Motorhome buying guide

There is a lot of difference between a good motorhome and a bad one, and the thing you should look at first is the quality. This can often be the decider between how much you’ll pay, and providing your budget can stretch, it’s worth paying for a good conversion that feels well done and built to last. Also make sure it’s got all the facilities you need and don’t splash out on a van with features you’re unlikely to ever use. Key bits to look out for include the kitchen, toilet, seating and whether you want elements like a pop-up roof, along with any technology you want – some of the latest vans use a smart metre-like touchscreen to control the van’s functions, for example.

Crucially, you need to think about how many people need sleeping space, as this is a quick way of deciding if a van is fit for purpose or not. After this, you should do all the key checks you should do on any vehicle – looking at the mechanicals, look out for any signs of bodywork damage and check any equipment on the vehicle works as it should. Due to the number of things that could go wrong with a campervan, it’s worth having it mechanically inspected before buying, especially for the safety side of things.
