Thank you Foxbate for your reply. Both our licences were issued prior to 1997. However, we would certainly not consider a large Yank mobile home as, not having driven a camper before, would not want one too big. A smaller two person, double berth with a small shower/WC room is what we are looking for. A small left hand drive is not easy to find in the UK, and are certainly more expensive here. Hence me wondering if they would be cheaper in Spain.

Thank you again. Anne C

Thread: Buying a camper van; Spain v UK?

--------------------------------------

My husband and I have a small apartment in Estepona and a home in the UK. We would like to travel between the two, and get to know Spain better, in a camper van. As most of our driving will be on the continent we would like a left-hand drive. Also, one that is not too big and is in quite good condition. Our maximum budget is £15,000. Could anyone please advise us on the following:-

Are campers cheaper to buy in Spain than the UK?

Does anyone know someone who has a second-hand, left hand drive camper for sale?

Thank you.

Hi, my husband and I, although based in the UK, have a small apartment in Estepona. We have just for the first time ever, returned from driving there and back via France, with our two dogs. We tootled, as we wanted to get to know other areas of Spain. However, we didn't find it very easy to find accommodation, due to the dogs, and the hotel and eating out costs proved to be rather expensive. We would like to do the trip again, and see more of Europe, so have decided to buy a camper van. Because most of our time will be spent in Europe we need a left hand drive.

Our budget is £10 to £15,000 and would like a reasonably decent one, although not a very large one, as we are a little nervous! On looking on UK websites, left hand drive campers are way over our budget. Could anyone please advise me whether or not it would be cheaper to buy one in Spain? Or, does anyone know of anyone already living in Spain who wishes to sell one?

We hope to be back in Estepona in September.

I look forward to your replies. Thank you.
