making the right deciision!

[Adria 5]

hi Buying a new motorhome for the 1st time is a daunting task ! information from
SMMT [society of motor manfacturers traders] in caravan club magazine indicates
that sales off motorhomes have risen ,some 6141 new vehicles have been registered in the 1st six months of 2007 with the 2nd hand market also strong .
The worry issue is that first time buyers who a choose a motorhome soon discover there new home dont meet there requirements, as a result they trade in for a differant model sometimes less then a year!!! now I have to stick my hand up and say i made a wrong decision with my first van rush off blood at don amotts making the right choice is inportant you need to tick has many boxs to suit has you can. with so many differant models and types from high top to big american rvs dont be blinded with offers deals take your time. hire one for a week see its your cup off tea
ALSO dont forget to ask other motorhomers on here or on campsites for advise and remember it your van to suit your needs not theres

Great post. I must admit? I made an hasty decision when we bought our Mini RV, the Dethelffs 462. We were desperate at the time. Flew back from Spain New Years Eve to buy a Commuter ready for parking the Newmar on a Campsite. It's a great little camper. But just a little too small and NOT fast enough.





Still looking for another.
