Motorhome newbie!!

[Ads7]

Morning guys!!

I will soon be looking to purchase my first motorhome. I currently have a Caterham 7 which is my pride and joy but recently I've been looking at motorhomes, but I will have to sell the speed machine Caterham to release the funds.

So I will have about £20,000 to spend on a 6 berth motorhome. I am totally new to motorhomes so I'm unsure what's what. What manufacturers should I look at?? I'm after a 6 berth, relatively modern interior and exterior with reliability. It will be used for the weekend breaks in the UK with extended tours of Europe. Storage is key and possibility of a garage would be great to store bikes and kiddy things.

Insurance?? What could I expect to pay considering I'm 28. Maintenance wise! I'm handy with a spanner so can do most jobs myself as I've owned a few sports cars and classics. Are motorhomes low maintenance if looked after??

As you can tell I'm very new to MH so plenty more questions to come. It will be strange going from a car with 0-60 times in 4.5secs to a big old bus but I've always fancied one and now I've got a small family now so it seems like a good time to buy a home from home on wheels.

Any advice is welcome so thanks in advance.

Adam
