Mrs SW & myself talked recently of getting a small motorhome to travel around this country.ChilwellWhite wrote:Just watched Million Pound Motor Home, wow how the other half live. Well worth a watch on catch up. There’s some worth £1:5 million with every mod con.
It was really due to covid and the doubt of when we can travel abroad to the many places on our bucket list.
Hence have been looking online and they are not cheap, you are talking upwards of £50k new for a basic model then when you start adding camp fees and various amounts of maintenance its a lot of money.
Sure we would possibly get 10 years+ use but you are still talking £6k+ per year and that is a lot of hotel rooms.
Think we would still consider if Covid means we will never fly again but we just don't know, we have a few long haul plans still to do so unless the lottery comes in its doubtful.
We have neighbours who have one and its basically been sat on their drive due to the current climate so just dead money, they love it normally and go Spain in it for 3 months each year plus a few shorter UK breaks, its their retirement life and can't knock it.
