Hi Everyone,
We are both new to the forum and motorhoming.
We have been toying with the idea of owning a motorhome for several years and need some advice. After recent further surgery and deterioration with my back condition I am no longer able to travel more than a small distance sitting in a car seat and use a mobility scooter full time. Although I have stubbornly refused to use a wheelchair so I crawl around on my hands and knees in the house. I am sure that my GP would be happy to support me if needed.
My automatic car has been adapted for me to use but I am unable to drive it due to my condition. My carer – my wife tends to drive the car for me with me lying on the back seat. I am registered disabled etc.
Can someone please advise us concerning suitable motorhomes. We plan to visit the NEC in Birmingham next month but need to be advised what to look for before we go. We need a 4 berth motorhome with a rear double bed and an overcab bed (for my son and friend) with a suitable garage so I can store my mobility scooter.
I am also wondering if there would be road tax exception as there is on my car, can I have two vehicles with this exception?
Our budget is fairly limited we would like to buy new (VAT free if poss). We did see some new motorhomes costing around £32,000 with VAT last year to give you some idea of budget although we would also look at used or ex demo motorhomes as long as they are not too old and well guaranteed.
Many thanks,
Tigger22
