Are you going to register it in France?--not very easy & costly to get an imported s/h motorhome onto French plates--easy to register it in UK tho----Urbano at Ostend is a well known m/h dealer well used to selling to Brits--google for their website--

I bought mine in Germany from Mobilpartner I was very satisfied. They are Adria, Challenger & Frankia dealers. The money savings compared to the UK make it well worthwhile. Insurance can be a problem until you get it registered, in Germany you get 3rd party insurance with the export plates, I overcome the problem by using the dealers trade plates. Many dealers seem willing to deliver the vehicle to your home address.

-You dont pay import duty for anything within the EU--if you buy a new motorhome in any EU country to bring back to the UK you buy it VAT free & pay VAT in the UK when you register it--if you buy secondhand you pay the full price & drive it home-no more to pay except UK registration costs--
