Buy a used camper

Buying a new camper is quite an investment. For that reason, it can be extra interesting to buy a young used model at Camperhuren.nl, which also has a lot less depreciation. We have a wide range of luxury Sunlight and Dethleffs campers in different price ranges, ranging from small and compact to large, practical and comfortable. The 'head' is off and therefore you are a lot cheaper than with a brand new camper. Because the campers are only a few years old and always neatly maintained by an authorized FIAT garage, you are guaranteed to enjoy freedom, nature and independence for years to come. Because that is camping with a camper, following your nose and enjoying without limits.

Type of motorhomes

There are roughly four different types of motorhomes, each with different characteristics that, depending on the use, determine your choice: alcove, semi-integral, integral en bus camper. Click on the link to read a detailed description of each type, including pros and cons. Also consider carefully what layout suits you best, especially what type of bed. Do you want to save space? Then choose a transverse bed? Does the entry height play an important role? Then consider a French bed. Do you like to sleep together in a large bed or do you prefer to sleep separately? A camper with single beds offers both possibilities. Do you want to close off the bedroom from the living area or do you opt for a fold-down bed so that you can transport a bicycle in the garage? Do the (grand)children have to come along or are you going on a trip together? Choices, choices, choices, but we are happy to help you on your way. Take contact us for a no-obligation appointment.

Good to Know

Independent purchase inspection

If you are going to buy a motorhome, you naturally want it to be in good technical condition. At Camperhuren.nl we stand behind our product and we can assure you that our campers are always neatly maintained by an official FIAT garage. Of course it may be the case that you would like to have an independent purchase inspection done, because it is difficult to assess as a layman. We do not find that a problem and we are happy to cooperate.

Moisture measurement

The biggest risk when purchasing a used camper is generally not in the chassis, but in the structure. This concerns the presence of moisture damage. A camper is constructed from multiple components, often with a wooden construction. Roof panels and side walls are attached to each other by means of sealant seams. If a leak occurs here, serious damage can occur due to rotting of the wooden construction. Unfortunately, this moisture damage is not always visible because many campers are finished with decorative plates on the inside. An extensive moisture measurement can help with this. The campers at Camperhuren.nl are subjected to an extensive moisture measurement as standard, so that you are assured of a moisture-free camper. Upon purchase, you will also receive a water-tightness certificate.

Maximum permitted mass

All our campers have a maximum permitted weight of 3.500 kg. The roadworthy weights are between 2.630 kg and 2.950 kg, so there is still a considerable difference. Curb weight typically includes one 75 kg driver, a full 90 liter fuel tank, a 20 liter clean water tank, a 15 kg gas cylinder and a reel. Do you want to take a lot of luggage with you or have extra accessories installed, such as solar panels or a satellite television? Then pay close attention to the maximum permitted weight. When in doubt, you can always have the camper weighed so that you will not be faced with unpleasant surprises afterwards. Compare the weighing results with the specifications on the type plate or on the registration certificate.

Additional costs

Costs that are added anyway are road tax, insurance and fuel costs. In addition, it is advisable to think about the storage of your camper. Do you do this in an indoor shed elsewhere, on your own property or on the public road? In the latter case, check the APV (General local ordinance) of your municipality. Mediation via Camperhuren.nl is also an option. We will rent out your motorhome when you are not on the road yourself. The great thing about mediation is that your camper is stored at Camperhuren.nl, that we take care of the publicity and maintenance and that you can achieve a good return.
