Most of them do.

This year the cheapest for us for £13000 was the Caravan club at around £250 but we have full no claims.

Hi Glenn, we just purchased our new van two weeks ago. Fully comp. insurance with full breakdown cover for £325 through Dolmen insurance in the Republic. You have to have a full car policy as well to get this price otherwise I think it is over £500. Hope this helps.

Are you buying fom a dealer? We dealt with Motorhome Ireland in Banbridge.

Hi Glenn, I traded my caravan against my Elddis Autoquest and was going to trade the car as well but thought i would hold onto it in the meantime. This is our first m/home and we are impressed with it. A lot less hassle than a caravan in my opinion, although we have found that there is less room on board for storage etc.

It was a big step for us as well as we were finance free but we really wanted one and who knows what could happen in the future. I take it you have either caravanned or camped in the past?

Have you been to Motorhome Ireland? Call in there and see Gordon. Tell him Paul and Pat sent you. He'll probably run a mile as we hounded him every week while we were waiting for delivery of ours!

Shop around before you decide. There are plenty for sale around the country. Look on the www for prices of the particular model you are after and compare with what Thompsons are asking and try to get as much thrown in with the deal.

If you can afford it , go for it , you will have many great trips out. We have had ours almost three weeks now and been away for two w/ends and one day trip so far. Heading to France in August for two weeks.

Let me know what you decide and If I can be of any assistance give me a shout. All the best.

Hi Glenn, sorry to hear it wasn't to be. No point in buying something if you are not 100% about it. There are loads more vans out there and one has your name on it. Good luck in your search and I hope you find what you are after.

We often stay in Kilbroney Park. The last time was three weeks ago on our way up to Donaghey Motorhomes In Letterkenny to buy our 4'th Motorhome.

Give them a try phone no.074/9129235 www.irishmotorhomes.com   ask for Michael they have a lot of second hand Motorhomes in stock i'm sure you will find something to suit you..

This Motorhome is RH but my last ones were LH drive which i found very easy to drive.after driving for a few hours it gets easy.

I have tried some down here would not recommend them very bad aftersale service even on new Motorhomes.

Donaghey MH seem to be the best in the Country for aftersales service and are very friendly also.

We met some people from Down they have their MH insured with Dolmen ,we have ours insured with them also.Phone 0035318672121

You may want to try Stewart Kerr & Co.in Randalstown. They also do motorhome insurance. Maybe a wee bit dearer than Dolmens but wouldn't do any harm to give them a call.

Caravanguard are now insuring in N Ireland, competitive, and european breakdown may be included. Saga also will match or better current quotation. Certainly shop aroung and read small print as my quotes varied widely.
