FAQs

Which motorhome is best for beginners?

Smaller campervans and compact motorhomes are ideal for first-time buyers as they're easier to drive and park. The best choice depends on how you plan to travel and how many people will be using it.

What size motorhome should I buy?

Choose a size based on the number of travellers, the layout you need and where you'll be touring. Larger models offer more living space, while smaller ones are easier to manoeuvre.

What licence do I need to drive a motorhome?

Most motorhomes can be driven on a standard UK Category B licence, although larger vehicles may require additional entitlement. Always check your licence before buying.

What is the difference between a campervan and a coachbuilt motorhome?

Campervans are more compact and easier to drive, while coachbuilt motorhomes provide more living space, storage and larger onboard facilities.

Is it worth buying a used motorhome?

Yes. A quality used motorhome can offer excellent value and often comes with useful extras already fitted. Buying from a reputable dealer also provides added peace of mind.

What is a habitation check?

A habitation check inspects the living area, including the gas, electrical and water systems, appliances and checks for damp, helping keep your motorhome safe and well maintained.

How often should a motorhome be serviced?

Most motorhomes should be serviced annually or in line with the manufacturer's recommendations. Regular servicing helps maintain safety, reliability and long-term value.

Can I use a motorhome all year round?

Yes. Many modern motorhomes are designed for year-round touring with features such as heating, insulation and double glazing for added comfort.

What are the running costs of owning a motorhome?

Typical running costs include servicing, MOTs, insurance, fuel, tyres, habitation checks, campsite fees and storage if required.

What should I check before buying a used motorhome?

Check the service history, habitation records, any signs of damp, whether all appliances are working correctly, and what warranty is included before making your purchase.
