1st camper purchase

 ·  Posted: 03.02.2022  ·  #1
Hi Folks, thanks for adding me. I'm looking to buy our first camper. I've picked one out which looks like a bargain. It's in Ireland and will come tested, taxed and on Irish plates. Couple of folks have warned us off as the salt on brit roads wrecks them underneath. Any suggestions for someone who'd inspect and give her a once over?

Just as a word of warning,tested and taxed is only approval for road use.
Habitation is a totally different scenario so get it tested for moisture ingress.
Good luck for your future motorhome activities and sure we might get to meet at some point.👍

What's the year, make and model. Often bargains can come with expensive problems that's why they are put on the market at 'bargain' prices.
Please please get any motorhome you may be interested in professionally checked for moisture ingress damage before parting with a cent.
My own carefully maintained since new mh cost me over €2k in surprise repairs to moisture ingress damage a couple of years ago.
