Motorhomes May Be More Expensive But Come On You Get Both Accommodation And A Mode Of Transport

Also called a recreational vehicle, a motorhome is a vehicle that offers living accommodation in addition to transport. They differ from campervans in that they tend to be larger with more luxuries. Motorhomes usually have a small kitchen with grill and hob (can include a microwave in some models), toilets and shower, sleeping berth which can be either fixed or detachable, a side lounge at the rear, a small dining place with table and chairs, the usual cab area for the driver and passenger which can also be swivelled to increase space. Motorhomes date back from the 1920s though earlier reconstructed models are known and have come a long way with more comfort today. Some manufacturers include Autotrail, Rapido, Roller Team, Tribute, Carado, Swift etc.

Maintenance of your Motorhome

Some simple tips can prevent you from getting into a bad mood while you are on the road for your holidays. Buy yourself some fuel cans that you can fill with some 10l of fuel, 15l of water and 10l of oil; you never know when they may come in handy. Do some water and oil check every day when you are travelling to prevent the engine from heating up especially in changing climatic conditions. Do not forget the spare tyres and read a bit or learn how to change one; you might need to change tyres if you are going into changed conditions like in ice covered places. Have a mechanic tool kit ready to fix simple problems but if you do not know what the real problem is, the best thing is to look for a professional mechanic then. Check out the lights and if need be, take your navigation system with you.

Selling tips

If you want to sell your campervan, go for honesty. Clean your vehicle and make it look good so that people will know that it has been taken care of and fix things that have been broken. Fill in the water and oil for maintenance purposes and get the tools and accessories that you want to include in the sale right in place and get all necessary documents ready. For advertisement, you can put up a sign on your vehicle's window with the price in bold and park it in public places like supermarkets where many people will be able to see it. You can also advertise in local papers, on ebay or go to an agency that will take care of the selling business for you.
