Hi everybody. I'm new in this forum.
We are a retired Australian couple seeking to travel for 6 to 9 months in Europe with an RV. We have rented three times RVs for 2 or 3 weeks each time some years ago and have lived onboard a catamaran for 3 years sailing the Caribbean and crossing the Pacific from the US to Australia. Thus, although we have not a large experience with RVs the nomad life is not strange to us. Anyway I'm sure I'll need to post a lot of questions here.
My first ones relate to basic economics. What will be better for us, rent or buy a second hand RV in Europe? Does anybody know a company that offers good long term rental deals? Is easy to buy and sell RVs in Europe?
Here in Australia Winnebago has a buy back guarantee program for second hand RVs that depending of the model you lose between 10% and 20% of the money in one year but apparently only a handful of people exercise that option because most of them sell the RV at a better price. The market here is pretty good. How is the market in Europe? Are dealers offering a similar buyback guarantee there?
How difficult will be for us to get insurance if we buy a RV in Europe?
Thanks in advance for your help. Please feel free to do any suggestion.
