Exploring new Campervans: your ultimate guide to adventure with Wandahome

Whether you’re dreaming of weekends chilling out at the seaside, spontaneous road trips to explore amazing country locations, vibrant city-hopping without hotel expenses, or exploring exciting locations in Europe at your own pace, a new campervan gives you the perfect gateway to adventure on your own terms. When it comes to actually taking the plunge and buying a new campervan to make that dream a reality, Wandahome stands out as a truly trusted name. We provide choice, quality and expertise. 

In this edition of our blog, we’ll explore the many benefits of buying a new campervan and share valuable tips to help you start your journey with confidence. We’ll also introduce you to the best new campervans available through Wandahome.

 

The on the road lifestyle is about far more than just travelling – especially for campervan owners. It’s about being able to trade the schedules of work and everyday domestic life for spontaneity. It’s about swapping hotels for homely comfort, and about exchanging overcrowded resorts for quiet countryside corners or off-grid beauty spots. 

There’s a special kind of freedom that comes with campervanning. You can finish work on a Friday and, within an hour, you’re on your way to the Lake District or the Scottish Highlands, or a campsite in Cornwall. There’s no need for hotel check-ins, no need to make dinner reservations and there’s definitely no need for the hassle of stressful airport queues. The campervan journey itself becomes part of the experience, with every stop along the way offering something new to discover.

 

Owning a campervan also introduces you to a great community. Across the UK and Europe there are countless clubs, rallies, online forums and meet-ups where campervan owners share lifestyle stories, offer vehicle advice and form lasting friendships. Formal organisations such as the Camping & Caravanning Club provide member benefits, site discounts, forums and support. Campervanning is a lifestyle that welcomes everyone - whether you’re travelling solo, a retired couple off exploring or a family with young children looking to make the most of holidays.

 

The used campervan market definitely has its appeal, and here at Wandahome we offer a selection of high-quality used campervans for sale, when you opt for a brand-new model you’re accessing a whole host of advantages.

Firstly, new campervans offer state-of-the-art features and technology. From things like ultra-efficient heating and cooling systems to solar panels and intuitive controls, the campervans of today are carefully designed to offer all the comforts of home while you’re on the move. Interiors are often finished to high specification, including luxurious upholstery, smart storage solutions and high-end kitchen and bathroom fittings. There is a level of comfort and reliability that can transform your compact travel experience.

 

There’s also the benefit of manufacturer warranties. When you buy a new campervan, you're protected from the outset. Most warranties cover both the base vehicle and the habitation area, so you get peace of mind should anything go wrong. This protection can be especially important for those owners new to the lifestyle, as it provides reassurance and support during the process of getting to grips with the vehicle. Buying new often also allows you to choose custom options — from layout and upholstery to add-ons like awnings, bike racks or upgraded appliances. Environmentally, too, newer campervans can have a benefit, being built to the current emissions and fuel-efficiency standards, meaning they’re cleaner and more economical to run.

Buying your first campervan is an exciting milestone, so having a clear understanding of your needs will really benefit you. Think carefully about how you intend to use the vehicle – weekends away, longer seasonal trips, or even full-time vanlife? Your travel goals will influence the importance of certain features and even which campervan brands might suit you best. 

If you plan on travelling through towns and cities or narrow country roads, a more compact model might be preferable. If you’re planning longer journeys around the UK or across Europe, you might want to invest in a larger van which includes added storage, fixed sleeping arrangements and a powerful heating system.

 

Budget is also a crucial factor. As well as the upfront cost, you should factor in insurance, road tax, fuel, campsite fees and any accessories you may want to add. Fortunately, here at Wandahome we offer a range of financing options through Blackhorse, that can help you spread the cost without compromise.
