Hi,
I'm new to the forum, but not to the concept of small campers having converted a van some years ago.
I'd like to seek your advice regarding the sense, or otherwise of buying a motorhome for a short period of say 4 to 9 months after the sale of my house while we find somewhere new to live. We are no longer tied to a region, so the idea of touring the UK over the summer looking for a property in which to retire is very appealing. However, without much idea of depreciation and costs I'm not sure how sensible it may financially.
Clearly there are very many factors involved, but just for the sake of example (and please humour my ignorance), If we were looking for a 2-4 berth motorhome with a budget of around £25-£35k with the important caveat of recouping as much of the purchase price at resale as possible, would anyone be able to offer advice on which models of motorhome I should consider? Two of us will be totally reliant on the vehicle as a home for that period so it must be viable in that respect.
I realise the choices and opinions will be wide ranging, all I can ask you, the experts, is to put yourself in our position and offer your very welcome opinions.
Best regards
Rick
