hi, if i were you i would get my self some mags like mmm, what motor home, ect

they give a good list of dealers and some advice on buying a motor home good luck i hope you find your dream motor home  regards bob.

First m/home we bought was a left hooker can,t see point now unless you always go abroad, went last year in our new van, twas not a problem  , as to buying if you ain,t bothered about travelling, why not pop over to Belgium or Germany or even go on the german ebay for some idea of prices, it must be worth it as one chap brings them in on a regular basis, think he,s in norfolk.Or deal direct , the company who made ours has a web site, and from what I can gather, dealing direct would have saved us £7000 on new, less of course the costs and time going to and from Alicante .

Remember its only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.

Ain,t hindsight wonderful !

Hi Glenn,

Baldwins of Halifax (www.gbmotorhomes.co.uk), I.H Campers (www.ihcampers.co.uk) A1/M62 Knottingley are two close to M62 I can think of.We have looked at Lowdnhams at Huddersfield (Knaus) but ended up at Brownhills at Newark and got a Hobby Motorhome.This may be too  far for you to travel,but these dealers are close to the main Motorway system. Good Luck.

I can highly recommend Spinney's at Holmes Chapel in Cheshire.  Just off the M6.

Hi Anglo

Todds have agood website with plenty of pictures of the vans, it is also indoors so you can visit on rainy days but I think they are now closed on Sundays.

Marquis are fairly near to Todds too about 5-10 miles (from memory) and usually have a good selection.  Their website is more of a national one but they of course have group stock.

I like Emmbee at Bury

We bought our first van from them and would certainly buy from them again.  They seem to have some good deals at the moment.  They were kind enough when we bought with nothing and gave us a hook up, gas bottles and toilet stuff.

Don't forget if you are buying with no part exchange to haggle for a discount for this. 

Good luck and happy hunting 

I wouldn't worry too much about long distance buying we bought in Gloucestershire and would travel further with the right deal(er)

hi glenn

we had a C class euramobil sport 695vb which we sold in november last year. we now have a euramobil 810ebl A class.i can thoroughly recommend them although as you say second hand ones in the uk are fairly rare. we are ex hymer owners and we prefer eura's to hymers as we find them more family friendly. unfortunately coming from the south i cannot recommend any northern dealers, however good luck in your search and do let us know what you end up with and if you need any advice
