Looking to Buy a Motor Home

kevinveseysports · 26-05-2008, 02:32 PM

Hello to you all, any help would be very much appreciated.

We are looking to buy a motor home. The key issue is it must be New or up to one year old.

We are looking for advice and guidance on one key issue.

We need an automatic?

Can anyone guide us to the manufactories who provide such a vehicle. We need to sleep 6.

Thanks

We wish you luck in your search. Automatics for sale are very few are far between. If you are lucky I would suggest go for second hand. We have heard so many horror stories about brand new ones, and most people have to wait for the new ones too.

At least with a used one, the original owner will have found and faults and hopefully rectified them.

This is just our personal opinion xxxx

Good luck

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the very quick information. As some one who has a very succesfull internet business, the key to our success is information. It's a pity the web sites aren't datebase driven so finding manufacturers/Used motor homes with automatics is easier. I sense a growing interest in Autos. Not sure if that's correct but just a thought.

I will certainly check out the Swift Auto and drop an email or call.

Have you thought about buying one from the USA. It will be LHD and Automatic Transmision. Some good bargains going particularly with the £ to $ exchange.
