Buying Your First Motorhome 2016

Motorhomes can cost anything between £5,000 for an elderly second-hand model to £1.9 million for a new bespoke A-class. Typical British buyers will spend between £30,000 and £50,000, making a motorhome the second largest investment they will ever make.

Therefore, it can be a costly mistake if they make the wrong decision. However, get it right and not only can buyers enjoy years of motorhome fun, but some will even be able to sell their ‘van on for the same or even more than they paid for it.

Now Warners has produced a new guide for 2016 - Buying Your First Motorhome – that is packed with all the essential information and advice a first time motorhome buyer needs to be sure they are making the right decision.
