What should you pay attention to when buying a motorhome?

We are happy to help you with our knowledge. Since campers are often quite pricey, there are a number of points that you should pay attention to. In addition to these points, a camper must of course also be able to fully meet your own wishes.

Automatic or manual

First of all, you must of course know who is or will sit behind the wheel of the camper the most. That person or persons can then decide whether they prefer a manual motorhome or an automatic transmission. The machine has grown in popularity in recent years. You can also make it easier to consider the automatic or manual transmission by checking in what areas you will be traveling with the camper. On the flat road it is very nice to have an automatic transmission, but in the mountains a manual motorhome is nicer. For example, if you are too high in revs, an automatic transmission can sometimes switch through, forcing the camper to pull too hard. Fortunately, many machines today have a special mode for mountain rides, so you don't have that problem.

Type and classification

What to pay attention to when purchasing a camper from Camperhuren.nl? Especially pay attention to the species and the layout. We have different types of campers in our offer, which all connect to a different target group. Are you going on vacation with your large family? Then go for one alcove, you have enough space there. Are you going alone with your partner? Look at one semi-integrated motorhome. The type and layout therefore mainly depend on your travel group. If you are often with you family on vacation you will have to consider a small one compact camper with a pull-down bed, or a more spacious model with three fully-fledged beds. Are you going for compact or luxury?

Is everything waterproof?

It is smart to ask for a watertightness certificate before purchasing the motorhome. Very important to pay attention to this, because if they are leaky the camper can rot. If that is the case, the costs can be very high.

At Camperhuren.nl all models are tested for water resistance. This way you can be sure that you will not be faced with nasty surprises after your purchase. You will receive the watertightness certificate with the transfer of the motorhome.

Maintenance history

Before you buy a motorhome, you should make sure that you ask carefully about the maintenance history and whether everything has been kept up to date. For example, how long will it take to replace the timing belt? This piece of maintenance is very pricey so of course you want to know when this is coming.

We are always clear about all the maintenance that has to be done and that has been done. We have all our motorhomes serviced by an authorized Fiat garage. If you purchase a motorhome from us, we will ensure that the structure is fully checked before delivery. A final service is also taken care of before the camper is handed over to you. We can guarantee that you can cover the first 5000 kilometers without any worries.

Weight is important

All campers have a maximum weight limit. You have to keep this weight in mind. The weight of the camper that you want to purchase indicates how much extra luggage you can take with you. So you have to think a little about the weight of the luggage of you and your travel companions before purchasing.
