Thinking of buying a motor home. Went to see a dealer in Devon today just to get an idea.There is only two of us but we have an extensive family and grandchildren. I fancy a 4berth plus as I am a restless sleeper and we will no doubt have the grandchildren with us sometimes. Size of vehicle for driving is not to much of a factor as when retired I did some part time work driving diabled people about in a long wheel based Iveco. However I do ot wish to go down the American sized motor home trail. I have looked at Bessacar, Compact, Autotrail, Swift, Eldis. Wishing to spend up to about £27000.
We also intend to do some extensive European traveling. What about buying in Europe, hear they are cheaper.
Any advice would be Gratefully received
Thanks Cornish Camper

Hello CC and Welcome.

Have you looked at Elite motorhomes website?

If you want more than 4 seat belts (to carry grandkids etc) you may need to be looking at newer motorhomes.

But, some MHF Friends of ours have recently sold there Hymer with 6 belts (by coincidence to Elite).

It is no longer cheaper to buy on the continent due to the exchange rate. They were super cheap when the £-€ was 1.70's, even 1.40's.

But now, with it hovering around €1.05-€1.10 to the £. Not cheaper. When it went as low as almost like for like, gee no chance.

Let us know what you find?

I have decided to change from caravan to motorhome but apart from looking at dealers models, have not got a lot of idea about 'best buy', so would appreciate any advice. I am a widower living in Devon but being 6' 2" need quite a bit of space, so would probably go for a 4 berth. I hope to travel to and within France, Spain and Portugal at some stage. Looking at spend of 25 to 30K. Any advice would be most appreciated.
