Camper-van/Motorhome

[XTC]

I'm planning on travelling round Europe for 3months+ and was going to do it in a motorhome. Has anyone done something similar? Am looking for some advice. Was thinking of hiring, but the prices are ridiculous, then looking at buying, but also quite high. I've got a budget of about 10K, but doesn't seem to get you very much. I'm guessing it would be cheaper to buy it or hire it mainland Europe?Tips, advice, anecdotes all appreciated!

You would spend less on cheap hotels.....I di it by car some time ago and stayed in guesthouses etc and spent a lot less...meant I had more for beer!!!!!

Well I'm planning on doing this from dec-april, basing myself in ski resorts as I'll be hopefully boarding the whole time. Thing is there are NO cheap hotels/motels in ski resorts, well France/Switzerland/Austria. I'm guessing Eastern Europe will be dirt cheap.

I'm doing the same soon, middled aged gap year thing.

Having thought about all the options I'm going for the 2 tent option and a diesel esate (A6). Small tent for quick overnighter, large tent for longer stays.

Then stop at a few good hotels with a spa etc to revitalise.

Trouble with motor home is packing your home up to nip into town, unless you have a moped on the back.

Yeah don't think I could handle a tent for 3 months with my missus. Besides I'll be in high altitude ski resorts in winter, -25 and tents don't mix!
