Buy a motorhome from schaffer-mobil

Motorhomes are the epitome of freedom. No other leisure vehicle offers this unbridled feeling, this passion, like the motorhome. Fully equipped, you always have everything you need on the road and can set off on your next vacation at any time. You can also easily get to remote places - and save on hotel costs.

A motorhome is also the ideal companion for enjoying your work-life balance. Today, you can also set up your workspace or home office workplace in your vehicle. What sounds better than working in the great outdoors?

As you can see: There are many good reasons to buy a motorhome. And if you're reading this, you've probably already found your own.

The actual costs depend on many factors such as type, brand, model, layout and equipment. A small panel van without a wet room is a completely different vehicle to a fully integrated motorhome for the whole family. It is therefore not possible to answer this question in advance. However, our specialist advisors will be happy to take the time to discuss the various options with you and find the right motorhome for your budget.

There are basically four different types: Semi-integrated, fully integrated, alcove motorhomes and panel vans (camper vans). All types have their own advantages and disadvantages, so no one type is better than another. Rather, it's about finding exactly the type of motorhome that suits you and your vacation ideas. And our specialist advisors will help you with this.

In general, every buyer has their own priorities when it comes to a motorhome. To help you prepare for the purchase in the best possible way, we have compiled the six most important questions for you:

1. What is your budget?
   Check your financial possibilities in advance and whether financing is an option for you. This is the only way you can realistically sound out the market. Financing motorhomes is often seen in the same way as financing residential property. The largest financing banks in this sector also offer terms of up to 10 or 15 years.
2. Which driving license do you have?
   Depending on your driving license category, you can drive motorhomes up to 3.5 tons (B driving license) or up to 7.5 tons (C1 driving license). Above 7.5 tons, we speak of a truck driving license (C). As soon as there is an “E” after the first letter, this license can also be used to tow larger trailers.
3. What kind of vacation do you have in mind?
   It makes a big difference whether you are looking for off-road adventures alone in rough terrain, whether you simply want to go camping with the family or enjoy your hobby (fishing, sports, etc.).
4. Which type of vehicle do you prefer?
   In most cases, the choice between a semi-integrated, integrated, alcove motorhome or camper van depends on your budget and type of vacation.
5. What equipment do you need?
   Think carefully about the floor plan and associated issues such as sleeping areas, bathrooms and other equipment. The hardware depends on your needs and travel destinations, so we recommend that you let our sales advisors prepare you in the best possible way.
6. Do you want to buy new or used?
   Both options have advantages and disadvantages and you need to weigh up which is more important to you. For a smaller budget, a used vehicle can often be the right choice. New vehicles have more extensive warranties, full customization options and the latest technology, which is a plus, especially in these fast-moving times.

Basically, both purchase options have advantages and disadvantages that need to be weighed up against each other. When buying a new motorhome, in the end it really is your motorhome. You choose the make, model, layout and all other equipment options. The vehicle is configured exactly to your specifications and you don't have to make any compromises. In addition, you often receive a long manufacturer's warranty so that you are optimally covered.

On the other hand, used motorhomes offer exceptionally good value for money. Especially when you buy from a specialist dealer such as schaffer-mobil, new and used motorhomes are virtually indistinguishable in terms of appearance. At schaffer-mobil, you generally also receive a two-year guarantee on used vehicles. If you are a little more flexible in your ideas, then you have the opportunity to land a real top deal here.

Our recommendation is therefore: If you don't want to compromise and have the budget, you should buy new. Everyone else who is a little more flexible and price-sensitive should at least consider buying used.
