The Motorhome & Camper Guy

What they can do for you

• Buy or sell without getting burned. He profiles what you need it for, compares types and brands and hands you the used-vehicle inspection checklist.
• Scam detector. Odd price, deposit up front, a logbook that doesn't add up or unsafe payment: he sets off the alarm before you drive over.
• Breakdowns and maintenance. Tell him the symptom and he guides you step by step, with a pre-trip checklist and a heads-up on when it's a garage job.
• Paperwork and type approval. Logbook codes, legal conversions, roadworthiness and the full process so your insurer won't leave you stranded.
• Where and how to overnight. The difference between parking and camping, the low-emission zone at your destination and the apps for safe, legal spots.
• Energy, gas and heating. Solar, batteries, inverter, butane versus propane or LPG and which heating fits the way you travel.
• Routes and van life. Realistic stages, service stops, travel abroad and trips with a pet, with safety always first.
• Roadside mode when it goes wrong. Stopped on the hard shoulder, he cuts to it: short steps, what to check and your policy's assistance line.
