Since the start of Covid in 2020, the demand for motorhomes and campervans has soared. Some people choose to buy a van and convert it themselves, while others buy bespoke motorhomes. They are so popular because the cost of a campervan holiday is relatively inexpensive compared to flying and many people enjoying the camping lifestyle and being surrounded by nature. Lots of people travel in motorhomes around the UK, especially Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It is also common to travel around Europe in motorhomes. As the cost of living in Slough, High Wycombe and Maidenhead has risen in recent years and luxury travel has become unaffordable for many in London, campervans provide a cheap alternative that the family will still enjoy.
Campervans are also popular due to their different sizes. Some couples choose to buy a small VW Transporter that will only fit 2 people, whereas larger families can buy bespoke 6 both motorhomes that will fit multiple children and pets.
Common vans that get converted include Ford Transits, Volkswagen Crafters, Mercedes sprinters, Peugeot Boxers, Citroen Relays and, of course, the iconic Volkswagen Transporter. Conversion prices start at around £10,000 if you want to pay a company, or you can convert it yourself on a much smaller budget.
Common bespoke motorhomes include Dethleffs, Chausson, Hymer, Adria, Elddis and Burstner. While these are often much more expensive than converting a van, the build quality is much higher, with some having fixed beds, toilets, walk-in showers and garages.
One of the most common problems with motorhomes and campervans can be damp affecting the walls of the vehicle. If the vehicle isn’t properly aired out or is left parked up for a prolonged period of time, damp can spread and this can be expensive to rectify properly.
