For van to convert, I ended up buying a "new/100miles" van. The diff was $2000 vs 100K Miles/3-4years.

This video is cracking and will definitely make people see the initial outlay in a different light. Thanks for showing us around and the pricing

[@mclucky7086]

Thanks again Jason. What a terrific insight into today's market. The price comparisons are so interesting. That auto Adria hit the spot for me but I was impressed with the condition of every van shown. And that mate is a credit to you and your business.

Glad you enjoyed it! The Adria is something different that I like 👍

This is a brilliant video motorhome man, it will save a lot of searching around for anyone looking for a used motorhome, wondering if they are a good buy and maybe if it is worth getting a loan for. You have covered a wide range of models and ages, succinctly without unnecessary waffle and made a very interesting video. And no annoying background music either! I have been buying and using motorhomes a lot for about 30 years and have always thought they are a much better buy than a car.

I'm sure prices will fall over the next year or so. This will be caused by owners who have bought new or nearly new in 2020 and 2021 selling up. Travel restrictions will be lifted this year and the return to work is well underway. Foreign travel will again be the norm for many people. Those new motor home owners will see their expensive vehicles sitting on the drive with less time to use them. Loans and payment plans will put the squeeze on too. The luxury on the drive will go. The vehicles will be sold back to the market in large numbers. A few new motorhome owners will be converted and keep them but most will be sold. There will be excess supply over demand and prices will fall.

[@willewinky]

I sincerely hope prices will fall. I get my pension lump sum in there years and am hoping to buy a motorhome with my money.

[@marcfurniss7673]

I think so too. Sold my VW T5 at a profit after owning for past 2 years. Will look to buy motor home when prices dip and more choice for sale

[@danielr82]

I'm sure they will too... He keeps saying things like "it was 35k, would have been 25k last year, but due to demand it's 33k this year, - you haven't lost a lot of money" But it's only £35k this year because of the demand. in two years it'll be a £23k van and we'll be hearing people talk about the bottom dropping out of the market loosing £12k from the price of a a second hand vehicle in 24 months etc.

[@mac148]

Yep all the new owners will get fed up paying insurance mot etc for it to sit on the drive

[@VooDooMaGicMan81]

Fake environmentalism, and the 'carbon footprint' related bs will follow on from this pandemic. No one other than the rich will be flying abroad around 2030. This is a conspiracy, but not a theory - all the information is available to view yet the general public are hypnotized on local and national affairs. Also inflation will soar, so if you think prices will drop in the next few years you're in for serious disappointment. Parts for my small business are far more expensive already, this isn't 'going back to normal' guys, I promise you.

[@stevepjackson]

Like a lot has said on this one matey, that was very interesting to see. Thanks for taking the time to research all that for us. We bought our first motorhome, a 2005 CI Carioca in March last year just as things were starting to lock down. We thought that was poor timing as we couldn't go out in it but value wise, it was probably the best time for us to buy it 😀

Informative video. Confirms my decision to hold off and wait for the market correction in late 2022 or 2023. I think there'll be enough low mileage examples on the market then that I'll get a decent deal especially as I'll have the cash available to sellers needing to fund their overseas holidays :-)

[@mbd6054]

Good thinking. Buy when everyone else wants to sell.

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

Peter C best of luck but i think you'll be disappointed. Before the scramble for campers they held their prices. I started in the 90s and nothing has changed. 10K will buy you a wreck, 20K a middle of the road average. If you want a decent van its anything from 25 to 60K plus. They always hold their price and the second hand market has always been high priced. Ive often been asked why so expensive new. Buy a new caravan, say 4 berth good make, around 25K. Buy a new car to tow it another 25K. Now build both into a camper, how can it be cheaper than 50K?

Hi my friend. If you decide to go make sure Jason is there, I drove for over an hour to get there on Saturday. I got more conversation from the girl in the shop who told me it is run by the people in the portacabin. My wife and I walked around the vans and the guy in the cabin clearly new we were there but couldn't even be bothered to come out to us and introduce himself. So we just left and are now going to go to AB motorhomes in Nantwich.

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Hi Paul I am really sorry to hear this he should of come out to see you and I can only apologise for this.In his defence we get a lot of people from the camp site wandering around the vans.All the best.

I’d rather spend a bit more for a brand new one than pay inflated price for a second hand one. Also the price you’re quoting- is that what they’re up for or is that what they sell for. The bubble is going to burst soon. I’ve 60k to spend on a van but I won’t buy till it all this nonsense stops.

[@alrightdave6135]

But the best new vans are all sold out and have long waiting lists

Here in the U.S., the prices are beyond ridiculous. Even the used sprinter vans, not yet converted to a camper van, sell for more than double what I paid for my house back in the 1990s. Campervans, used, three times what I paid for my house. New, more than four times what I paid for the house.

those prices are fantastic if you were born a minute ago the phrase "a fool and her money are soon Parted" Also remember LEZ area's creeping in road tax getting very high on older diesels.

[@richardgreenwood3355]

Price is just one of the reasons I switched from motor-caravans to touring caravans. The last motor-caravan I bought was a long while back, but it cost me £11000 for a 10 year-old van that had originally been around £15000. I was the one who took the hit in value when the rust appeared! I decided then that there is just too much value tied up in an 'old' motor vehicle that is destined for mechanical faults or MOT failure! I've been towing for 17 years now. No regrets yet.

[@hybrid6692]

I agree to a point but of course if you don't have a suitable towing vehicle as i don't then the outlay overall is greater

[@mishafrog8786]

Its a sellers market at the present time , but forget buying one until things settle down again . When you consider over £55k for a VW T6 they are very overpriced and the prices will dive in less than two years, my motto is WAIT.

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Nobody knows yet what will happen misha

[@normanmunns4743]

Don't forget that these second hand retail prices he is quoting are what a dealer would sell them for. They would offer you at least £6000 less than what is being quoted. If you tried to sell it yourself you would get about £4000 less then what he has quoted

[@jolyonlacey6930]

very informative video. However when you take inflation into account , the depreciation is actually bigger than the absolute number. eg if the van is 15 years old and cost say £30k new, then £30k 15 years ago was worth a lot more then. you need to apply inflation depreciation of the capital if you say average inflation is 2%over 15 years then the deprecation of the capital is 37% so the actual 'new price' ie what 35k is worth today. is 35x1.37=48k so the 'real' deprecation is say 48-22 =£26k if its worth £22k now

My own tuppence worth is that if the government continue with fazing out diesel vehicles and promoting electric there will be less petrol stations around and those who do sell diesel will be in cities/ large towns to cater for commercial vehicles, also I think the price of diesel will be very high and “ road tax “ for diesel vehicles will be extortionate.

Looking after your van, service, documentation etc helps to keep the value, however; this is not the reason for the higher prices Right Now.

[@barrythomas9571]

I understand what you are saying and that the industry has to make a living, but these are second hand motors, some with quite a few miles on, thats not a good thing, as much as I really enjoy your videos, and will enjoy them in the future, I am amazed at these prices, and there are a lot of comments here echoing the same. What happens if we ever get back to normal?

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

I was shocked to Barry

[@stephennutkin2477]

IF we went back to some sort of normality and people could get abroad without restrictions I wonder how many people who are new to motor/camper vans because of Covid will keep their vans or find that they are a liability due to the fact that they use them less want to return to foreign holidays. If dealers are inundated with vans with less buyers would there be a major price drop within the new and second hand market ?.

Agree there. Some owners will develop the 'squeaky bum' feeling when looking to offload their vehicles.

@@TheMotorhomeMan been on about getting a motorhome for while and said to the wife this is the year (as I new the government were going to play silly buggers) but I had the conversation with the father in law who just traded up his motorhome and lost nothing on it !!? So I'm not entering the motorhome market this year

[@benjobanjo7475]

Ahh this is just sad. Dashed my dreams of owning one. I can't be paying prices like these. I thought there would be much cheaper options.

Very informative, do you see a crash in price once everything opens up again?

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Not for at least a year and half Phillip 👍

[@bertibear1300]

I would wait for the great die off which will happen in autumn.Predicted for those who had the v.Prices will fall autumn 2022

People need to stop worrying about how little money they are going to lose,thats not what its about. To most owners its about the lifestyle bonus,the ability to go where and when you want is just as priceless as the money saved from not using hotels that is always a guess on how good or bad it will be when you check in. The multitude of holidays is more than paid for ininitial price over the years. Anything you get back at resale price is a bonus.

Good comment there Michael 👍

Hi…sounds like you are are Stoke lad ? If so, where are you based as I’m only in Newcastle under Lyme…when me and my wife retire in a few years we will be looking for a nice motor home and you seem like a genuine guy.

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Thank you Alan.Yes I am from Stoke 👍

[@athollmcnicoll256]

I was thinking about buying a small campervan but this news has put that completely out the window as prices are too high for my modest account. Stick with my converted Ford Fiesta and camping gear which has not as such been used due to lockdowns in Scotland.

The scenery is still the same in what ever you drive 👍

[@DA11NOON]

Very good vlog 👌👍

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Thank you 😊 Stan

[@sirbrian9404]

M8 thanks for being so helpful but I do think motor homes are well over priced.

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Very true!

[@808State21]

Have you ever built one? It's time consuming just the planning alone before the build.

[@SCOJO98765]

Just saw pics of the new vw caddy California Surely that’s got to be the smallest camper around !

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Could be Jon
