Its best to rent a motorhome before you buy

Rent a motorhome first if you have never been in a motorhome before or on a holiday in one we do recommend renting one first.  If you’re an experienced motorhomer we would recommend you rent the motorhome you are interested in purchasing  to provide you with the knowledge to make the right decision. Renting gives you an idea of what you like, what you would change, what you dislike.  You can look at the layout, what are essentials for you and what can be compromised. 
 

What type of Motorhome?

If you have any essential items such as equipment for hobbies, childrens pushchairs or require to tow. Its always helpful to have a note of what you really require when looking. 
Layout is key to have a smooth holiday. What is it you require? A fixed bed to save you putting away and pulling out each morning and night? Bunk beds for children? The ability to have separate areas at the front and rear of the motorhome? Please be aware that each motorhome has a different layout to suit different requirements.
