Planning To Purchase Custom Motorhomes

By Joyce Taylor


A large number of people own a motorhome and they are used to take vacations or to live in. Stock models can be purchased from dealers but if you are looking for something special you can buy a custom vehicle. If you are planning to purchase custom motorhomes there are some things to think very carefully about before you commit to anything.

When you plan to purchase a custom recreational vehicle there are some important things to consider. You need to work out what size the vehicle should be and also work out what fixtures and fittings you are going to need to make it comfortable. It is also very important to carefully work out your budget so that you know what you are going to be spending on the build.

A bespoke vehicle will begin as a standard model which can then be modified by a team of fully qualified technicians. Many areas of the motorhome can be changed such as the power unit, transmission and the wheels. The exterior bodywork can also be modified and made to your specifications including a unique spray job.

A vehicles interior can also be modified by the specialists and they can manufacture bespoke furniture and fixtures. You are also able to place custom orders for bathrooms, kitchens, appliances and home entertainment systems. You will be able to work alongside the designers and you will have some design input and one of the most important things to keep an eye on is the total weight of the vehicle when it is finished.

There are various specialists that can design and build a vehicle to your specifications. Builders will advertise in specialist magazines and RV dealers in your area may also be able to recommend a firm that you can use. Specialists can also be found by browsing the web and the majority of vehicle builders have informative web sites.

The web pages for the vehicle manufacturers are a useful place to look at all of the options that are available to you and to get some ideas. There will be pictures of different motorhomes that have been built and you can look at customer testimonials. If you need to contact a company you can email them or give them a call to discuss things.

When you have located a firm to build you a vehicle you can visit them and discuss your requirements and work on the design. When the designs are complete you will be given a quote for the build and if you are happy the work can commence. Building a vehicle is a highly skilled job and you should be aware that it may take many weeks or months to complete the build.

When you have made a purchase it is very important to hang on to the payment receipt. New vehicles will usually be covered by a manufacturer warranty and you will need your original receipt to make any claims. If you are happy with your new vehicle you should leave some feedback on the web site for the firm that built it which may help others who plan to buy a motorhome.
