Hi all. Well, the dream is almost a reality and we're hoping to be in the UK within weeks. But now we need your help and advice (again ).
We have a base in the UK, a home we've owned for many years jointly with my sis and mum. I'm Brit and OH is Canadian, coming across on a settlement visa. The plan is to base ourselves in the UK and explore Europe by motorhome.
And here lies the dilemma. Do we buy a RHD or a LHD? We anticipate spending most of our time in Europe and are leaning toward a LHD.
We're also thinking that we might settle in France within a year or two. And that's affecting our decision.
We're thinking of a LHD Euramobil - one of these:

or an Itineo, like this one:

or even a LHD Hymer like one advertised at Johns Cross at the moment:

Our worry is the issue of eventually registering the motorhome in France. We're read a lot about the difficulties associated with certificates of conformity etc and are therefore leaning toward motorhomes that will be easy to register in France...like French-built ones (Itineo, Rapido, Pilote etc).
Does anyone foresee difficulty with buying any of the above motorhomes and registering in France?
