If you are considering buying a used motorhome then unfortunately you may find that you may have to pay more for it than perhaps you would have done say 12 months ago. So, why is this?

Well, one of the reasons is believed to be due to the pandemic that has been caused by COVID-19. This is because an increasing number of people in the last few months decided that, rather than travel abroad on holiday, they would have a break in the UK with some of those holidaymakers deciding to invest in a used motorhome or campervan.

Unfortunately, demand appears to have outstripped supply as far as leisure vehicles were concerned with not enough used motorhomes being available for new customers. This probably led to an increase in the price of used leisure vehicles being bought at auction by used motorhome dealers with the increased price being passed on to the customer.

Therefore, if you are considering buying a used motorhome or campervan, you might like to spend a little more time shopping around to try and find a good deal. There are various places that you can buy a used motorhome such as specialist magazines, visiting motorhome dealers to view leisure vehicles on the forecourt, purchase one privately or via the Internet.

Having said the above, don’t be frightened to try to get the asking price reduced – if you don’t ask you don’t get and, at worst, the seller could say “no”. You never know though – the seller may be agreeable to a price reduction.

Don’t forget that you will need suitable motorhome insurance if you are buying such a vehicle.
