At Stuart Insurances, we try our best to make the campervan owning experience as painless as possible with camper insurance that fits our customers like a glove. Here we attempt to help you have a smooth experience when buying a camper by covering the things that you need to know before making that big purchaser. 

What we aim to assist you in avoiding here is jumping in head-first into investing your hard-earned cash into a new camper before you know what life is like out on the road. Campervanning is something that’s popular with people across Ireland, but you need to know it’s for you before committing to it long-term. 

What Kind of Experience Do You Want?

The first thing that you need to consider before you scour the market is what kind of camping experience are you after? Do you want a plush ‘glamping’ experience or are you happy to semi-rough it while on the road? Are you happy paying top dollar for a state-of-the-art motorhome or do you plan to convert a commercial van? 

Forget About the Comfort of a Car!

New motorhomes come in at around €80,000-€120,000, which is why many turn to used commercial vans that they can convert. The thing is, used vehicles like this don’t offer the same comfort you get in a car, so it’s something you need to be prepared for. 

For a seasoned HGV driver, it’s not a problem, but the average car owner might find it a tad exhausting to drive one all day if they’re not used to it. 

Sleeping in a Vehicle Overnight Can Be Tough 

Unless you’re buying a motorhome with all the mod-cons, you’re essentially spending each night in a converted van. What we’d recommend doing is hiring out a similar camper to the type you’re going to buy and taking it out for a night or two. 

This will either reinforce your desire to go ahead and make your purchase or give you a wake call up to show you that buying one for yourself might not be a great idea.
