What should I look out for when buying a camper van or motorhome?
A. We recommend that you find out the following as basic precautions. Is the person selling the motorhome / camper van the legal owner? Obtain proof. Like any other vehicles, campers and motorhomes require an MOT and road tax. Check on the status of these and also have a mechanic check the roadworthyness of the vehicle. Make sure the motorhome or camper van for sale is not too large for you to be comfortable driving. Have gas fittings and electrics checked by a qualified engineer / electrician.
