Knowing where to buy used motorhomes

In the same way you would buy a car or a house, buying a used motorhome is a huge commitment.  It is best to try out as many as you can from all makes and models to give you a good understanding a feel for the vehicles available.

Main dealers are good places to start, although they may be expensive, they will let you have a good look around without pressuring you too much.  This may be your first thought when looking for used motorhomes these aren't the only places to look.

Private Sales

Like buying a secondhand car, you will always get a better deal buying private, but you do not get the same security as you would get from a dealer.  when buying from a private seller you will need to give the motorhome a thorough inspection, preferably from a specialist.

Buy from a dealer

Although it some instances it can be a little more expensive, there are many benefits from buying used motorhomes from dealers.  A dealer has a duty to inform you of any defects that they know of.  You should also look for dealers who offer a pre delivery inspection or PDI.  Motorhome Sales offer PDI as standard.

Another advantage is that even on used motorhomes you will be offered something in the way of a warranty. At Motorhome sales all of our used motorhomes for sale over £9995 receive an AutoDealer six month mechanical breakdown warranty. This is administered by MB & G Insurance Services Ltd, who are specialists in supplying our used motorhomes warranties.
