How Can I Look Round A Motorhome?

You’ve had a fantastic idea: You’ve decided that you’re going to buy a motorhome. Perhaps you’ve got friends who already own one who’ve been regaling you with stories of terrific times spent out on the road enjoying themselves. Maybe you’ve even been on holiday with them and had a little taste of the enjoyably itinerant lifestyle for yourself. It could be that you saw a motorhome in a TV show or film and were attracted to the idea of ownership.

Whichever way it was that the idea came to you, it’s a really good one to have had! But what is the next step?

Finances

Check your finances, of course, and work out whether you are in a position to be able to afford a motorhome. You may have the total funds up front and available, but if not you could bear in mind that you may be able to secure funding in the form of a loan from your bank or another financier. Some of our dealerships offer finance on UK motorhomes, too.

Finding

Once you know money is available to buy a new motorhome, the next step is actually finding one you would like to own. How do you do that? Simple. You can take a look online. You may find one of our pre-owned Auto-Trail motorhomes on social media marketplaces, or perhaps even on online auction sites. That way, you might come across something which is very close to suitable.

You could also use a search engine to find dealerships, and by doing that you’re more likely to find a motorhome which is ideal as you will have a lot more choice. Here at Auto-Trail you will be able to find the UK dealerships which handle our vehicles, and which ones, by using our handy stockist network tool.

Feeling

There’s nothing quite like having a look around a motorhome to work out whether it has the right fixtures and fittings to facilitate how you want to live when you’re out and about, helping you gauge whether it feels right for you. You can easily have a look round when you visit the dealership, but what about those people that isn’t an option for? Are there ways they can get a look? Yes, there are…

Films

On our website, there are 360 videos for each model. If you’re not sure what that means, we’ll explain. 360 videos are also known as surround, immersive or spherical videos where an omnidirectional camera has recorded a view in every direction at the same time.

When you play a 360 video back on a flatscreen digital device such as a computer monitor, a tablet or a mobile phone, you will take control of the viewing direction at any given moment. You will be able to use the cursor or your thumb to alter the direction of view of the image – up and down and from side to side. This gives you an almost ‘real space’ context for the interior of the motorhome, and you will get a much more ‘join the dots’ sense of the interior than you would from a series of photos.

Famous Venue

You can also see our vehicles at the motorhome shows which take place each year at the NEC in Birmingham. These shows represent the opportunity to get up close and personal with many of our motorhomes from manufacturers and dealers. We highly recommend checking it out if you want to experience something truly special.

Here at Auto-Trail we are very proud to have been manufacturing British motorhomes since the 1980s, with our company going from strength to strength. We offer campervans in addition to A-class and coachbuilt motorhomes which have been built with quality, functionality, power and performance in mind. We’re confident you’ll love what you find when you browse our website.
