Hiring wouldn’t allow us to do that. If you are mostly only looking to travel half an hour away I really cant see the point in a full blown motorhome or anything at all really. To me that's well within driving back home distance, nothing special needed. I would possibly just consider a converted LWB VW transporter or perhaps a caravan for the few times you want to go further afield. Far easier for quick trips, though I appreciate that rather depends on the size of your family as to the space you need. Buying a large motorhome for such short trips seems like madness and the rental idea fraught with headaches. Longer trips require more planning so you would be able to reasonably consider hiring.

markm Posted August 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thanks for the input chaps. Really appreciate it. The family (with one older) is 4, although we would normally travel as a 3 and even 2 in a few years. The VW camper van isn’t for me, but I’ve looked (and was shocked by the prices). Current thinking is look out for a ‘nearly new’ one (when and if the prices drop) and just keep it as ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think the prices will fall quite a lot once foreign travel restriction lift and people want to release equity for other things. Recently everyone seems to be motorhome mad. There is even a celebrities go motorhoming series on TV. Wait and pounce once the prices drop 😉 Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
