Used Campervans

Second hand campervans generally range from 2-seater models to 5-seater vehicles. A typical 2-seater will offer a double bed, and all your cooking equipment. Many 2-seater used campervans are cheap and basic, but very reliable.

5-seater campervans often feature a tent that sits on top of the van, sometimes sleeping everyone there. This type of campervan usually features a kitchenette to the rear of the vehicle.

Whether you opt for basic or you want something that is packed with features, the one thing you want above anything else is for second hand campervans to be reliable.

You need to check the engine of used campervans before you consider a purchase. Look for the tell-tale signs of potential problems: a noisy engine, excessive smoke from the exhaust and so on. Check the oil and find out how many miles the cam belt has done. A few simple checks at this stage can save a lot of trouble and money at a later point.

If damp is the real enemy of a caravan, rust is the true enemy of a campervan. Check the roof, underneath the wheel arches and underneath all edges and around all doors for for signs of rust. Rust can be very expensive to repair.

The chassis is vital too. It is important to probe the chassis and underside of second hand campervans for signs of rust.
