Hello,
Ive recently managed to convince my wife that owning a motorhome is the next best thing for us as our son's or fledging and no longer interested in mum and dad holidays! Anyway we are looking for some advice on some models worth looking at. We own another vehicle so would only use it for trips,2 berth would be fine but we want to take our 3 dogs with us,Probably just uk holidays,not convinced about the "luton" style and have been told the hymer is the best....is this true or just opinion? we haven't looked at any as yet as i don't want to be talked into a bad choice by some salesperson without a bit of knowledge. buying magazines and looking on the web but peoples advice is often best. Thank you for your help

Hi and welcome
I would suggest you look around many dealers and see what lay-out suits you. You say 3 dogs, how big? Maybe a garage with bed over may suit, that way the dogs could have the garage as a kennel?
We have a Luton, and though we don't sleep in it now, it comes in useful for storing all the bedding etc, as we go away for 3 months at a time , so have to cater for hot/cold nights 6 meter would imo be the maximum length, and check where you would keep it, (that limited out choice) Personally I think fixed beds take up to much space, as when it rains you need space. It does not take long to make beds up, consider how you would use the van when it does rain. When the sun shines you live outside under the awning
Don't discount british vans, just because some say german better ! You will be looking for a fairly old van for that price range, so visiting dealers who supply older vans, Ones with a franchise, tend to only sell 2/3 year old vans Maybe google motorhomes at £25000.00 , rather than just looking (and wishing) for newer ones , which now start at eye watering prices.
Finally , do ask on forums about any you like the look of

Hi samelyott & welcome to the forum. For £25k you should have a choice of some fairly recent motorhomes with Euro 4 spec engines, with various layouts. Hymer are often used as a benchmark maker for which to judge others, but there are others which equal or exceed their quality IMHO. Also Hymer are one of the largest "group" manufacturer's, which include Dethleffs, Burstner, Sunlight, Carado + others. Initially visit as many as possible dealers who are in your area, then one of the Motorhome Shows. This will give you an insight of what is available & give you a better idea of what you THINK you want. Then you can start to compile a list of:- What layout you prefer. What you must have. What you would like to have. What you don't want. Warning there will be some compromises !!!!!!
Consider:- Where you will store the Motorhome, if at home check dimensions of the area available. Will it be your only vehicle. Do you want a PVC (Panel van conversion) Coachbuilt or A Class.
It may be confusing to start, but when you start your search things will fall into place & then consider hiring a Motorhome of a layout you think suits. There is nothing better than actually using a Motorhome to highlight it's shortcoming against your perception & if you find your initial choice meets expectations some hire companies will deduct hire cost if you were to proceed with purchase. Alos be aware that the windscreen price is usually based on trade-ins, so if no trade-in is involved a discount off the price, should be your start point. Good luck with your search

Having looked at one dealers listing in current magazine, I see they have 8 models with the Euro 4 engines, (post 2007) with advertised price around the £25k

For an older van the first question should be what is the basic build quality. all too often the body work is framed with untreated soft wood and thus any hint of damp will inevitably lead to serious and costly rot. For your budget of £C25000 you should be able to buy a rot proof Hymer i.e 2003 A class or a 2005 T class. The only downside will be that you will have to search hard for an integrated oven, but we make do with a small Electric one for when we are on sites.

had a great time at the show and saw some very nice vans. plenty of options to think about before we purchase next month.. there were some we disgarded straight away when we found they didnt have enough travelling seats for there stated bearths. why do they do that ?

:) thought i would update on our search for a motorhome.... due to circumstances beyond out control we were unable to purchase a van 5 months ago....but.......we are now able to, and infact we have :) .the £25000 budget went up a bit . because we had to wait to we then got a lot more picky on what we wanted and the list of must haves with no compramises went up, as did the wish list.

we called into marquis at ipswich just for a look in august and the welcome and help we got off the sales team there made us approach them when we had the money to purchase.
i emailed the salesman we spoke to in september telling him we would soon be in a position to buy and also included a list of must haves and desirables. . got a phone call within two days about a van that was coming into another branch as a part exchange that hit all the must haves and most of the desirables. it hadnt even gone on the site for sale yet.. we paid a refundable £250 to have it shipped to ipswich so we could view it and decide. that also made sure it never went on there website as for sale.

to say we were pleased with it when we saw it would be an understatement. elldis autoquest prestige 180. a lot of extras added by the first buyer made it a more than desirable van. less than 3 years old with only 7500 miles on the clock.

james at marquis ipswich was more than helpful. now we cant wait to collect it :p

"Lowry scores 35, DeRozan has 28, Raptors beat Heat 116-89
TORONTO (AP) — Kyle Lowry scored 35 points, DeMar DeRozan had 28 and the Toronto Raptors beat the Miami Heat 116-89 on Sunday in Game 7 to reach the conference finals for the first time in franchise history.

Bismack Biyombo added 17 points and 16 rebounds for the Raptors. They'll open the Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland against LeBron James and the Cavaliers on Tuesday night. Toronto fans chanted 'We Want Cleveland!' in the seconds.

DeMarre Carroll scored 14 points, and Patrick Patterson had 11 to help the Raptors become the 15th team in NBA history to win two Game 7s in one postseason. Toronto beat Indiana in the first round.

Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic each scored 16 points for the Heat. They were denied the opportunity to renew acquaintances with former teammate James in the conference finals
But after Toronto dominated the Heat in the second half and rode the superior play of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan to a 116-89 romp, the Raptors won the series 4-3 and advanced to its first East Finals. For once, they did not underachieve. They played like a team that had won 56 games in the regular-season. They’ve been in existence since 1995-96 and had been out of the first round just once before this spring. Before Sunday’s rout of the Heat, they had been mostly known through the years for losing big playoff games, often at home.

So Canada loves it, but basketball fans won’t be able to see the Heat try to exact some revenge against James for leaving Miami two years ago as a free agent. Even James admitted during the second-round series against Atlanta that he wanted to play Wade, his old teammate, for the right to get to the Finals."
