Thank you for your advice. I’m new to this and have already bought two motorhomes secondhand that were not suitable, when we actually used them. A lot to study before parting with money
Our first one was not quite right - the layout of the bed and bathroom did not work… so we stick to the research research research now. What got me into doing more of this. Yes lots to consider with such an expense.
I think it would be perfect if you could hire a motorhome for 24 or 48 hours and so people can decide if it is right for them as some people are disabled
There are companies you can hire from - yes they are newer but helps you assess the functionality. There are also converters of coach built for specific disability needs too.
I think buyers will start ti find what few more older vans with main dealers as some.of the dealers will be struggling to trade out of stuff as the trade buyers are full and bit buying or bidding low so spme dealers will ne retailing older vans to get deals on newer ones done. Worth noting that most dealersnuse insurance backed warranties which won't cover damp on coachbuilts of that age so worth looking for a dealer who warranties the van themselves and will cover water ingress
Thank you - good points and appreciated. Our experience of buying our new one was a low-ball part-ex offer at one of the largest dealers against a new one and even a suggestion that we sell privately. We did not deal with them this time as got a better deal and part-ex elsewhere - but the offers on part-ex varied around circa £8-9k.. another dealer was wanting to trade out the part-ex and again low, so they offered a ‘cash top up’ to get a deal across the line - its very competitive and variable out there. Yes the water ingress is a very good point too - hence me saying about taking care with warranties.

Don’t buy ford and definitely don’t buy British 🦧
Like anything consider what you are buying and research. It’s not as simple as ‘not British’.
One vehicle isn’t proof of anything.
I’ve run fords as a construction company for over 40 years , serviced properly they last and last .
