Hi Hellen,
Dont listen to the opinions of people who have never owned an LMC.I would not advise on the pros and cons of a van i had no experience with.
I owned an LMC for 7 years and in my opinion the Pro's are:
Very solid build superior to British made vans.Can be used all year due to excellent insulation.Used for winter use in the mountains as they have underbed hot tanks,water tank inside etc
The interior spec depends on which model you choose.Upholstery is good.
Came with a 5 year guarantee including water ingress
Superb towing stability.
My van was built in Germany but extras were fitted by my LMC dealer.
In recent years vans have been built for the UK market but they have never done much promotion
I never had problem with my van throughout the time i owned it
Cons:High insurance cost and difficult to obtain i used Saga.
There is a problem with theft they are very desirable to some groups.
To get a model with usual British accessories is expensive.They are basically a mains electric van and 12v interior is extra.Because of the solid build they are heavy and need an appropriate tow vehicle.Because they are used by travellers some sites wont accept them.
Spare parts are expensive and are imported from Germany.
I dont know who the dealers are now.I bought from Continental Caravans who were main LMC dealers but have now moved into motorhomes.
If you think of buying one check your running costs/towcar first
