If you are considering buying a used or new motorhome, whether it is for the first time or you are a second time buyer, it will not come as a surprise to read that there are numerous places that you can purchase one. So, let’s talk about the options open to you in this respect.

Private purchase

If you are thinking of buying a used one then you could purchase one through a private seller. The person selling the motorhome could place an advert in a specialist magazine or local newspaper. You would then need to get in touch with him or her and arrange to meet up with the seller probably at their home. You will no doubt wish to take a good look around the vehicle both inside and outside and may want to have it checked over from a mechanical point of view. You will no doubt take it out for a drive accompanied by the seller.

As a general rule, you should expect to pay less for a motorhome that is sold privately than if you were buying it from a dealer. If you do require finance, then you will need to source this yourself.

Dealership

Many motorhomes, both new and used, are sold through a dealership that may specialise in the sale of such recreational vehicles. So, if you are thinking of buying such a vehicle, you can visit the dealership and talk to a salesperson and look around a number of motorhomes. You will also be able to take one or more vehicles out for a test drive. Some dealerships may be able to help you arrange suitable finance.

Online

As with cars, you can buy both new and second hand motorhomes through the Internet. There are people placing classified advertisements online looking to sell a motorhome as well as dealers who have a website. If you are looking to buy a specific make and model of motorhome, you may be able to quickly find one using your Internet browser’s search facility.

Shows

Another option is to buy a new motorhome at a show. This is a great way of being able to look around a huge range of such vehicles.
