One Place To Find Cheap Motorhomes
Late June this year I purchased a used Motorhome from eBay and now we are a proud owner of a huge Bedford Bus that we are going to be traveling around Australia in. While I was crazy enough to buy a big Motorhome online without seeing the bus, I was lucky in that I used eBay, a place where the customer feels safe to shop. At least the company is so big, and the reputation behind their name is so strong that I feel safe when shopping online with them

- Know what you are looking for. Is the bus going to be big enough for all members of your family?
- Check out the Motor. Ask as many questions as possible about the age of the motor, when it was last serviced and the last repairs done on the motor.
- Ask around the people who do own Motorhomes. See what they paid for their RV, and check out the market, comparing prices.
