Hi there
We are an Aussie couple who are looking to buy a motorhome in the UK so that we can fly in annually for a few months touring, mainly on the continent but also for visiting family and friends in the UK. We have been motorhoming in Australia since 1996 when we bought a 30' Bedford bus conversion which we drove all around Australia for 16 months and then returned to the workforce. More recently we converted a 30' Isuzu bus into a comfortable motorhome. We have also bought a relatively cheap US RV a few years ago which we store in Los Angeles and have made annual trips to the US for the past 3 years. With retirement likely next year we are now planning the UK/European adventure which will start with a short visit to the UK sometime later this year.
We have done a fair bit of research into a UK purchase (left hand drive) and have a general idea of what we want. This forum has provided a wealth of information and through the insurance thread I was put onto an insurance broker who is willing to arrange insurance for a UK registered motorhome being owned by visiting Aussies who have Australian drivers licences. We have been put onto a good storage site in a suitable location by another Aussie couple.
We have looked at a lot of the motorhomes for sale on this forum and also on eBay. One in particular appeals to us and we keep on coming back to this unit after looking a many others. If we get serious about this particular rig which is located in Paignton, Devon we will like to get an independent person to to check it out - any suggestions of suitable persons or organisations?
We are looking forward to our involvement in this forum as a platform for our future UK/European motorhome trips.
