Hello Motorhome Fun community!! My wife and I are traveling to the UK to look at buying our first motorhome. We're originally from the UK but have lived in Cape Town for the past 27yrs. We have booked our trip around a visit to the Birmingham NEC Motorhome show to see what type of vehicle will work for us. I've done plenty of research and have a few ideas. Looking forward to travelling throughout the whole of Europe and the UK.

Hello and welcome. All Motorhome’s are a compromise.

Remember to check the payload.

Thanks Everyone for your warm welcome. We're certainly having a problem with water down here. Flushing loo's with grey water, 3min showers and barren gardens (if you don't have a bore hole). Looking forward to some cooler weather too. 32c here today!!

Hi tacr2man, No, it's for touring the Northern Hemisphere summer months then back to Cape Town leaving the van in the UK. I have family down south in Chichester, so will look for storage options in that area.

@Simon H. Might be worth thinking about LHD if you intend doing a lot in Europe .

Theres a few threads on here of those that have saved quite a bit buying LHD in europe and bringing them into UK for registering :)
