Buying a motor home in Spain
 
Hi, I'm looking to buy a relatively cheap motor home in Spain in the Malaga area (I could travel to Cadiz, Sevilla, etc if required).

Has anyone had any experience with this? What is the best approach? 2nd hand websites, any showrooms in the area, importing from UK, Germany, France, etc.

Any help gratefully appreciated

Try milanuncios website. Seen plenty in the Malaga area, mostly dealers I think.
Warning. There is no such thing as a cheap motorhome especially here in Spain.

www.segundamano.es is another website, I buy one from a forum, try posting a wanted add on various forums, but as the past poster said, they don't come cheap,but you could probably buy a uk plated one cheaper, but if you are living here all the time then its false economy as you would have to rematiculte it.

If you live in Spain, then it must be matriculated to run it legally.. please see the plethora of other threads about illegal UK plated cars etc. in Spain.

Well, if Spanish motorhome rental is anything like UK motorhome rental then it would be far cheaper to stay in a hotel :D

I know there's a place at Casabermeja, just up the A45 from Malaga, don't know anything about them just know they're there cos I go past twice or more times daily!
