After buying a Motorhome from eBay and then having tell my hubby afterwards, we have to decide to do we keep Our Bedford Comair Motorhome or do we sell her and Buy a New Motorhome?
New Motorhome
Our Motorhome was not new – not by a long shot! Actually the guy that sold our Motorhome was very clever – he took photos of the Motorhome from afar, and from years back so the Motorhome was not in the condition of what was in the photos or the listing on eBay. But I knew in my heart that buying the Motorhome was what our family needed! David is extremely handy (and he can make anything look good!!) as he is a boat builder and has been building Caravans for years.
Why Buy A Motorhome Without Seeing It?
So why did I buy a Motorhome without seeing it? It was a decision that I made, and I will never regret it! I so would do it all over again. I wanted to save our family – our five boys were growing apart and we were so busy with life that we did not have time for living. I knew that if we brought a New Motorhome that David would not be happy because it would not be made the way he would like! So I brought our Motorhome from eBay, sight unseen and location unknown. Once we got here brought back from NSW to QLD David and I had a long chat and decided to keep Rose and turn her into a New Motorhome.
Here is our second night Vlog of us sleeping in our Motorhome
Too Excited To Sleep!
After our First Night in our Motorhome I was very tired! I was too excited to actually sleep 🙂 So our second night was good – I actually got to sleep. Did you see our New Motorhome – See My House? If you missed seeing our vlog of our first night in our Motorhome, here is the link.
New Motorhome or Used Motorhome?
Would you buy a New Motorhome or a Used Motorhome? I think that our Motorhome has so much character and history. It was a school bus – Bus 44, taking on passengers to and from school. It had a sign in one of the cupboards, that we are keeping, and it was already set up as a Motorhome. Buying a Bus and converting it over would have been easier for David but would also have taken longer. We are keen to get on the road, and travel – so for us buying a Used Motorhome and renovating it till it looks like a New Motorhome was a better option.
Here you will see the “Before and After Renovations” of our Bedford Comair Motorhome. From my eyes she looks like a New Motorhome – even has a new front door!
*If you do use the Ebay link to go shopping we do get a small commission – which will help give us coffee to keep on travelling and blogging – thanks heaps!
