its all very well some and just some
motor home owners berating other owners bout hiring out thier vans to strangers
in the ideal world if the cost of motor homes was not so high
we would not have to hire them out to try to recoup
some of cost
we are not all semi retired with five figure pensions
and over 100.000 in the bank gaining interest
some of us still work and earn twenty to thirty thousand pounds a year
and to find the kind of money to purchase one of these motorhomes
we would need to sell our house
or go into more debt
i do come across owners that change thier vans every six months and think nothing of it
but for the rest of us we live in the real world
with falling house prices and high interest rates
that is why there is growing number of self biulds cos for some of us thats all we can afford

You can't beat a good rant,I bet you feel much better after getting that off your chest,your not Victor Meldrew are you
The subject of m/home hire has been discussed on here and I personally have not berated anyone for doing it.I would always advise against it if it is your pride and joy and you want to keep it that way,most hirers don't feel the same and do not treat it with the same care as an owner.
If it is the only way possible to own one then do it if you have to,just be aware of the downsides and devaluation issues.
I can't see anything wrong in people spending their hard earned money on a m/home either,if you've earnt it then enjoy it.If you haven't then don't begrudge other people enjoying their life.

Some good points. Look at the point of view of the hirer. He may not be able to afford a motorhome but may be able to afford the hire rate every now and again. It seems very popular on the continent. When we were in Paris on a 600+ site, it seemed like every other van was hired.
