The perfect motorhome

Imagine waking up and having breakfast watching a bird making its nest while you listen to the flow of a river in the background. And that same day, having dinner on sandy beaches and falling asleep to the sound of the sea waves. Not so bad, right?

Imagine deciding your destination on the fly, travelling without having to worry about buying plane tickets, booking hotels or finding restaurants.

Advantages of motorhome living: unrivalled freedom, independence and the peace of mind of knowing that YOU DECIDE where to sleep, eat or stop.

And for your experience to be unbeatable, it is essential that you take with you the perfect motorhome for you.

But… How do you know which one you need?

At Magic Caravaning we help you to narrow down your search by showing you the points that, in our opinion, should be taken into account before making your choice.

Because it’s going to be your home on wheels, your holiday home, your nomadic flat. And making a decision like that is important, isn’t it?

LET’S GO THERE!

1.1 What you want it for

For weekend getaways, long expeditions or are you going to roll up your sleeves, leave everything behind and live in it while discovering the world?

Are you more of a city slicker or more of a nature lover?

Answering these questions will guide you on some technical aspects such as which engine is sufficient, fuel consumption, whether it has to be 4×4, type of maintenance or driveability.

1.2 Number of people and other animals

Considering the number of people travelling with you will, of course, determine the size of the motorhome. Because you don’t need the same amount of space when travelling alone as you do when travelling with children, with a small dog, with two mastiffs, with three cats, with elderly people or, why not, with your group of lifelong friends.

Much depends on the type of motorhome you decide on (see below for an explanation of the different types of motorhomes), taking into account the interior layout, the number of beds, the autonomy in terms of supplies and the storage capacity.

1.3 Budget

Obvious point, right? Although…

The range of proposals that may be available to you on the market depends not only on how much you can or will spend, but also on your determination. The more flexible you are in your search, the more options you will have.

Maybe you only have in mind the option of buying a new motorhome and starting your adventure together from scratch. Fantastic option. Check out our catalogue of new motorhomes.

Or you may prefer a second-hand motorhome with lived-in kilometres that is worth the difference in price compared to a new one. Fantastic option. We don’t have any at the moment, check back from time to time to see if any come in.

In any case, are you looking for one that is already fully equipped or do you have room for improvement?

Well, once you have the answers to these questions you will have a little more clarity about what you are looking for. Now read on to find out what options the caravanning market has to offer.

And so as not to overwhelm you with too much information, we have prepared a practical outline for you that is quick to read.

This was the powerful slogan of a laundry soap advertisement, if you remember it is because you were born before 86. Well, this slogan is the same for us when buying our motorhome.
And although this should be the end of the article on how to choose the perfect motorhome for you, we are going to give you a couple of extra points as tips and as a way of thanking you for reading this far.

3.1 When you’ve decided on your perfect motorhome, take the time to find it.

Although the online world offers an extensive catalogue, you have to be patient to process so much information. Be wary of brand websites that do not have the address of at least one physical shop, or those that do not provide you with a telephone number to contact the person in charge, or those that ask you for money in advance to arrange a visit.

3.2 If you can, try it before you buy it. Take it for a couple of rides around the neighbourhood to see how it feels or even rent it for a couple of days. It will be like your first date.

Would you like to rent one? We are located in Lleida, but we can pick you up at the train station or at the airport. Give it to us!

3.3 When buying a second-hand motorhome, always make sure you have it checked by a professional before paying for it to see its real condition. This will save you a lot of trouble.

3.4 Do not use up all your budget on the purchase of the motorhome. Leave a margin for expenses that may arise such as decoration, household goods or other personalised extras.

See you on the road!
