When you own an ex ambulance with 280000 miles on the clock driven by dozens at any old way of driving an ex rental van would seem to be pristineWould anyone consider buying a ex rental motorhome. Has anyone done this?
Yep maybe badly driven, but probably otherwise cared for and loved.But on the flip side a one owner low mileage very badly driven motorhome could also be a lemon ?

Agree 100% with you there... However surely there must be plenty of higher mileage 1or2 previous owner vans out there that will have been lovenly looked after and cared for without going down the exrental route!!Yeah thanks for that i just don't fancy a low mileage van that's sat rotting for years that can be as bad I think in some cases

Not sure about your thought process, but there ain’t many low mileage vans sat rotting that I’ve ever seen, in fact I’ve yet so see one.Yeah thanks for that i just don't fancy a low mileage van that's sat rotting for years that can be as bad I think in some cases

Another happy mcrent customerYes, we did. Our's was a Covid van, so had not been used much showing 16000m. We were invited to go around the van and raise any imperfections, which were all put right, no matter how trivial. I've had no issues with the van thus far, [ other than a scare over what we thought was floor delamination. It wasn't.] Really happy with our van at the moment and now we have it how we want it for significantly less than a main stealer offering. We had budgeted and looked at many vans much more expensive, but could not warrant the extra spend for fundamentally the same product, but it's each to their own and certainly if we consider buying again it's a route I would investigate thoroughly before parting with my wonga.

but you can roll it in glitter .. but still a turdAs we used to say in the military, you can’t polish a turd

There was a nearly new Pilote A class appeared on driveway near us 3 years ago. It has had a tarp thrown over the top of it. The weeds around the van are now touching the window catches, it has never moved off the driveway. Now there's a low mileage 2 owner prestige van when it eventually hits the for sale market.!!! I'd rather have our used, and slightly abused ex-rental bus, in the knowledge of knowing what exactly I am getting, rather than a glitzy dealer "polished turd".Yeah thanks for that i just don't fancy a low mileage van that's sat rotting for years that can be as bad I think in some cases

When we initially hired I noted the damages clause was extensive prohibitively expensive, I drove it very conservatively and I held an HGV licence at that time so was used to larger vehicles.I hired a motorhome and drove it to Brittany like Miss Daisy.
It was the largest thing I'd ever driven and was terrified of damaging it and losing my deposit
On the way back I stopped at South Mimms and gave it a thorough clean
