A bit ambitious this as we still don't have a vehicle! But.....
Having done lots of looking around we are firmly behind the idea of a VW T5 now, then trading up to more of a motorhome!! We are looking to buy something already converted/bespoke built from a "dealer" rather than private sale. I know we could get something cheaper but we are also looking towards what happens when we sell on. With caravans we are aware of what holds a price and what doesn't but here we are lost. I know that a "badged" vehicle conversion carries a premium, but that may reflect in the value later.
If we want the best retention of value is there a hierarchy of dealers where the initial build quality will help hold the price?
What conversions should we look out for? and more importantly what should we avoid?
I am happy for private messages about anything you may feel is contentious.
Cheers
