Hello! First post, please go easy
Having holidayed in a touring caravan for 25 years plus and spending 3 weeks touring around France and Northern Spain in a hired motorhome we have now decided to take the plunge and buy our own motorhome. Experience of caravanning has taught us that the layout is key and we have decided to look for an Auto Trail Cheyenne or Mohican (or similar) with the large rear washroom as this is exactly the same as our caravan. We have been to a number of dealers to look at what is out there but unless you are in the market to buy a new motorhome or spend at least £35k on a second hand one the sales people just don't seem interested. I'm not being funny but we don't want to spend any more than £18k on our first motorhome but it seems that this is not possible, at least with the dealers that we have visited so far. Can anybody tell us if there are any dealers in the north of England, Midlands etc. who have a decent selection of motorhomes at a reasonable price for us to go and look at. I did like the Auto Trail Talisman but looking at pictures it looks a little narrow inside. We have seen loads of decent looking vans within our budget on eBay and Gum Tree but in order to view we would end up 'criss-crossing' across the country.
Any help or tips gratefully accepted and thanks in advance.
Regards
Billy
