When my partner was alive we did go and look at some Winnebago's as he loved them ... but as you say they are so big it really was not a practical solution ... we had an Auto-Sleeper Executive which had lots of storage ... I must say I miss that in my Duetto ... but he is easy to drive and very good on fuel ... only thing is with him is he is on a Ford Transit base and they suffer from the rust worm ... he may not be pretty but he suits Max dog and I
Look forward to pictures of the motorhome you eventually choose
Hi Kirsten ... like Old Soldier# said ... take your time ... and have a test drive ... make the seller show you everything working that included both gas and mains ... and all the tanks filled and how to drain them ... look at it's last...
Hi Kirsten ... like Old Soldier# said ... take your time ... and have a test drive ... make the seller show you everything working that included both gas and mains ... and all the tanks filled and how to drain them ... look at it's last habitation check, was a damp check included?
Make sure it has a full service history, and do an HPI check even if it is from a dealer ... remember you are the buyer and hold out for a good warranty ... if it's a private sale, unless you are very good at mechanics get your garage mechanic to give it a look over ... if you go yourself, buy a damp meter ... for a few quid they can save you a lot of heart ache ...
But saying all this ... mainly enjoy looking and choosing your van ...
Hi Kirstenhartvig. Best bit of advice I can give is.......Take your time, have a good look round the dealers to see what is available, don't buy spontaneously unless you are really sure and most of all beware of damp problems, sadly loads of vans...
Hi Kirstenhartvig. Best bit of advice I can give is.......Take your time, have a good look round the dealers to see what is available, don't buy spontaneously unless you are really sure and most of all beware of damp problems, sadly loads of vans these days are found to have damp problems, get your chosen van checked out by an independent engineer and ensure you get a warrenty if buying from a dealership. Hope that helps.

We are about to purchase a used motorhome to live and travel in. We had a VW Westfalia a few years ago and had such fun with it. Now we have an 11 year old daughter and 2 dogs too, so we need something (much!) bigger.
Apart from learning and sharing road and camping news, we would be really grateful for purchase tips.
Looking forward to getting to know this new world!
