Hi All, looking forward to purchasing our first motorhome in the coming months...once it all becomes possible again.
Almost brand new to all this, we did rent a motorhome for a week last October for a trial adventure around south Wales, and loved every minute of it. Now we are starting to search in earnest for a unit to contunue the fun.
We have been starting to search Autotrader and eBay for possible purchases, but not yet seen much to plan a viewing on, even if we were allowed. If anyone knows of a suitable unit for sale, or any top search tips to find other sources, that would be really welcome, otherwise, we will continue the current route and hopefully something will appear, and maybe we will be allowed to go and see it too...
Having read a few of the great threads on here, we have thought long and hard about layout being our primary consideration, and with that in mind our preference is for something with twin single fixed beds at the rear, a separate loo and shower and a drop down bed at the front. We would typically travel as 3 people, but occasionally could be 4 or even 5. The options for a posible 5th travelling seat as well as the single beds does seem to severley limit the potential options, so for us that would just be a nice to have.
We are realy looking forward to explore more of the UK, but also Europe once that is possible, and of course once we have found a motrohome...As a reasonably competent DIYer, and with the support we've seen on this forum, should be able to tackle adding any of the basics needed the off-grid camping we' like to try too.
Very much look forward to finding our first motorhome, and being able to share some of our future travels and stories.
