Hello and welcome plenty of help and advice here! And fun too!

. Sit in lots of Motorhomes, either at a show or a dealership. This will help you work out the lay out that works for you. Look at fixed bed vs over cab bed vs drop down bed, rear u shaped lounge, where the kitchen area works for you. Storage varies from van to van--- garage, lockers, cupboards etc..
Once you've got your list of what you want--- and what you don't want--- you can narrow it down to makes and models.

Try out as many layouts as you fancy until you decide what is best for you, make up and lie on the bed, sit on the toilet, stick your head into the washbasin etc until you have decided what layout you prefer.
View as many vans as you can at dealers and shows BUT only in your chosen layout otherwise you will get distracted by others and you will be back to square one, without actually having been anywhere
Enjoy the hunt it is part of the fun.

Welcome! Best place to buy a LHD vehicle is in Europe. Quite a few on here have bought in Germany and Belgium for example. Do a search on importing to find the threads describing the process. Significant savings possible.

Hello and welcome. If you get the opportunity I can recommend the Düsseldorf motorhome show as you will see a much wider range of vans. As @DBK says above there are savings from buying in Europe.

Hi and from us in Spain. Once you're up and running come and visit us here in Totana.

As @Jenben said you will get a good deal from buying in Europe. They have just done it!
