New to Motorhomes and need some advice

[starterforten]

Hi folks,

I imagine there are scores of these requests, so apologies for adding another one.

I am dipping my feet into learning about the ins and outs of the motorhome world. The sheer amount of info is staggering, as are the makes and models to a novice. In essence I am looking for a van with either fixed single beds, or if not then a fixed double, with bench settees. I shall be in Europe most of the time as my work takes me over there, so ideally a left-hand drive, but from my research it appears that vans in euroland are more for less.

I realise I am being generic here, and you may be frowning and thinking here we go again; but if anyone kn0ws a decent range that might get me at least on a track, I'd be grateful. I have been looking at some of the Autotrail range, that look decent enough, but I have zero experience. I am sure that when it comes to buying, I will probably enlist the help of someone who knows what they're doing, but until then I just want some ideas. Budget is up to 35k or so. Thanks for any help!

You only say that it has to have bench seats and or a fixed bed, and needs to be LHD, so maybe a bit too generic as that will cover quite a few models, but for LHD you need to be looking at sites over the channel really.

Fixed beds are very limiting, you cart around all that space that has only a single use.

Do you want front or rear lounge, where would you like the kitchen?

How many berths?

Give us a bit more details and more helps will be forthcoming.
