Buying a motorhome is advantageous if you love to travel and explore places. A motorhome or campervan offers freedom, flexibility, and huge cost savings for travel enthusiasts.

The added freedom and cost-savings are compelling reasons why you should buy a campervan or a motorhome!.

The campervan and motorhome market has grown significantly in recent years as more seek to explore the UK rather than jet off abroad, and it means the number of options on the market is greater than it has ever been. From vehicle manufacturer conversions like the Volkswagen California through to home builds and huge motorhomes that are almost a home on wheels, the choice is extensive. In fact, if you can think of any van, there’s a good chance there will be a campervan version of it available, either officially or aftermarket.

If you want a high-quality conversion that you know you can rely on, you should look out for an official manufacturer-backed conversion, with key stand-out models including the Volkswagen California, Ford Transit Nugget and Mercedes-Benz V-Class Marco Polo. These were all models bought from a main dealer originally. If you’re less fussed about that, there are plenty of very credible conversion companies, while there are also some fantastic DIY home builds too. Many of the larger motorhomes are also based on Fiat’s large Ducato van, along with its sibling Peugeot Expert and Citroen Relay models, too.

A motorhome, as the name suggests, is a type of vehicle that resembles a home on wheels. It is primarily designed to travel with amenities such as sleeping areas, kitchen, living area, storage space and bathrooms. There are different kinds of motorhomes, based on size and construction.

Yes, you can drive most motorhomes and campervans in the UK with a standard car driving licence. But the campervan or motorhome's maximum authorised mass (MAM) should be within 3.5 tonnes. To drive a motorhome or campervan with a MAM of between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes, you need a category C1 licence in the UK.

Yes, it’s perfectly legal to live in a motorhome or campervan in the UK. However, the vehicle should be road-worthy - it should be taxed, insured and registered with the DVLA. Furthermore, it should also have a valid MOT.

There is no hard-set rule or time limit for parking a motorhome or campervan on a street. Any rules that apply to a car or a van will also apply to the motorhomes and campervans. However, considering its size, a vehicle should not cause any obstruction. If you are unsure, it is always best to contact the local council to get more specific information or the enforcement of any parking rules or time limits for motorhomes and campervans.

If you have made significant changes to the van, especially to its exterior (like adding a pop-top roof or living space), the can has to be reclassified as a motor caravan and updated in the V5C. If the changes are to just the interior of the van, a reclassification is not needed.

Campervan prices depend on factors such as the age, size, and features of a van. Entry-level used campervans are priced between £5000 and £15000, while newer used models are priced from £200,000 to £35,000. On the more expensive end, there are campervans priced above £40,000, which have been fully converted with numerous features.

No, tax for a campervan is not cheaper than a normal van. The amount of road tax for a campervan depends on several factors like a normal. These include age, weight, and engine size. The only exemption or deduction is for low emission campervans and historic campervans made before 1983 (exempt from road tax).

You cannot park a campervan or motorhome anywhere. Parking regulations vary for different locations and since motorhomes and campervans are larger than a normal car, one should take extra care when parking as it should not obstruct other road users. Before parking, also make sure to read the signage for restrictions to campervan or motorhome parking, including overnight stay.
