An alternative to buying privately or through a dealership is to use a motorhome broker, such as MotorhomeDepot. Organisations such as this will sell a motorhome on behalf of a private seller but will provide added peace of mind as they will have done various checks before agreeing to market the vehicle.

The automatic motorhome is mostly class A and is easier to drive thanks to its automatic transmission. These vehicles can be in any class and have a price range between £50,000 and £150,000.

A campervan is typically a van that has been converted so you can sleep in it and cook in it as well as drive in it. A motorhome is a purpose-built home-from-home where comfort has been built in from the beginning. Typically it has a longer wheelbase which means it will be bigger than your average van.

When it comes to choosing a touring campervan, 4 berth is often one of the most popular sizes. This is generally because it opens up opportunities for family travel in a leisure vehicle that's nice and easy to drive, and can still often double up as an everyday mode of transport.
