I was brought up in the era of VW campervans and to be honest was never a fan. But as I get into my middle years I have contemplated investing in a Motor Home. But this is when the drean stops, as I had no idea of the cost of these machines in the 21st century. I should not have been surprised when you see the quality many many manufacturers put into these, what can only be described as moving penthouse. In fact the term motor homes is very apt as these converted vans really do have everything you would have at home and maybe even more.
the modern motor home will come complete with luxurious furniture, quality beds, sound insulation, central heating, flat screen TVs and sometime even a dishwasher. Unlike the yanks who like converted buses, the Brits prefer van sized motor homes, pretty much because of the roads here in the UK and Europe. They are also easier to drive than you may think and certainly easier than towing a caravan, with a quicker set up on transit. What’s more if you fancy a stop off on the way to your destination, just pull over and make yourself a cup of tea, of watch your favourite TV programme or DVD.
When I start to understand that we now live in the 21st century and serious campers want something special within their motor homes, then I start to realise that the price of these vehicles are justifiable, not to mention good residual values. I still want one.
