Looking for motorhome/camper. What a nightmare.

[Morningside]

OK. We are looking for a camper/motorhome but requirements are a pain.

Price upto £15k, £18k really pushing it.
Must have toilet/shower.
No primary over cab sleeping.
Must have proper head height.
Not too old.

Must NOT be longer than 17ft and that is the killer as it will not fit out the front. Larger motorhomes seem cheaper but do not want anything huge or paying for extra parking/storage.

Been looking on eBay etc. but cannot find anything.

Any pointers please.

Thought about it (see older post by me) but we are thinking of doing a lot of weekend breaks and the cost could rise quite quickly.

18 at a push.

I think it is about standard transit size.

Deeds do not allow caravans. (Risking it with a motorhome). Plus although both cars have towbars I really don't like towing.

Yeah, its the length thats the killer.

Is there not another option for storage of said motorhome?

Cannot think of one. Went camping last week and the girlfriend loved the idea of that type of holiday but did not like the cold or the idea of waking up with no tent. Granted it is 7m x 3m.

Update:
Purchased one last night and very pleased. Renault Master Devon conversion 2.8 SWB and only 16ft long. 2 berth with toilet/shower. wind out awning and also has drive-away one as well.

"Y" reg but very, very clean and tidy. Needs a couple of small bits doing but overall very good.

Also surprisingly spacious for such a compact design.

Pictures to follow when picked up on Saturday.
