Motorhome shared ownership scheme launched
A newcomer to the motorhome industry, Belmont Leisure, is promising motorhome holidays without the full cost of ownership by introducing a shared ownership scheme that it says is “a move away from traditional ownership”
It’s offering a plan whereby customers buy into a three-year scheme, with the option to pay in one upfront fee or a lower fee plus additional monthly payments.
In return, you get five weeks’ holiday a year – two in the summer, two in the spring/autumn and one in the winter – with bookings on a first-come, first-served basis.
Customers will part-own a motorhome, with all cleaning and maintenance costs included in the package.
Belmont Leisure Director, Matt Sims (who currently runs hire specialist, The Motorhome Holiday Company), says: “People want flexibility. We are increasingly living in a ‘sharing economy’ where traditional ownership is less popular. We rent our cars through products like PCP (personal contract purchase) and increasingly rent our homes. Why should motorhome holidays be any different?
“We believe we have a great opportunity to deliver motorhome holidays to a changing marketplace. The demand is there but often the funds to purchase are not. The market is changing and we are excited to be leading the way.”
He also stresses it’s not a typical time-share arrangement: “Time-share has a bad reputation…this is different, this is a holiday share scheme - with a motorhome you get a different holiday experience every time.”
Co-director Glen Maxwell-Heron adds: “I know that owning a motorhome can be a lot of hassle, from personal experience. It takes a lot of time to get ready and money to look after, particularly if you have a young family. Motorhome Holiday Share takes all that away.”
