Renting a motor home (1 Viewer)

[SpitzTM]

Hi, we live in Oxfordshire and are looking to rent a motor home for the first time. Does anyone have any recommendations for rental businesses in Oxfordshire / Gloucestershire?

I’ve been looking at m5motorhomehire and they have a couple of models that could fit the bill (Sunlight T68 and a Sun Living S65 SL). Does anyone have experiences (good or bad) with either of these models, or the business itself they would be willing to share?

Thanks!

Not sure on the company themselves but have seen abacus motor homes in Andover

A funster on here that I am in contact with has a rental business operating from Royal Wootten Bassett, if you are south Oxfordshire, with Rollerteams I think.
I cannot find his website but I found a link on another (agency) site. I think he has 2 or 3 MHs

Hi. I haven't heard of, or had experience of m5 motorhome hire, or indeed the Sunlight product. However, if it helps you. We hired from a Roller Team coach built MH from "Just Go" who are based at Toddington, their actual premises are less than 3 mins from junction 12 of the M1. All their stock is less than 18months old and well presented. The handover is very thorough with lots of tips for new users.

No matter who you hire from make sure to check the vehicle condition report which you have to sign at the beginning of the hire period, make sure you spend a good 15mins checking both internal and external of the areas of the vehicle and make sure all defects no matter how minor are captured on the form before you sign it. I know this can feel a little awkward with the company rep standing over your shoulder. but you could live to regret it at the end of the hire period if you miss anything. Also make sure you take time reading the small print in the hire agreement. There are so many clauses that could cost you as much as the hire charges.

Having said all that I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience.

I have been in a Sunlight T68, its very similar to the dethleffs we bought so has the shower on one side and toilet on the other side of the van.

The sunliving S65 one is smaller as the bathroom and toilet are in one. I'm not sure if the lounge area would be smaller too. The Sunliving 75 would be a similar length to the T68. Both are likely to be well made but at an entry point level (nothing wrong there though)!!

I know there is one in Clanfield, between Oxford and Swindon. I have no idea if they have a good reputation and have never used them.

Although their rating on Google is 4.9/5, so they're probably pretty good!

Thank you for this suggestion. I did take a look but they don’t have a low profile MH that includes a garage.

Ok, motorhome hire reservation made for April next year, can’t wait!

We went for the Sunlight T68 in the end. It’s 7.4 m long so will be interesting to see how it drives (a Volvo estate is the largest thing either of us have driven up to now).

Thanks again for all help and suggestions.
