Is there a motorhome database?

[Giles123]

Hi all, planning on buying our first motorhome but somewhat phased by the choices out there! Is there a comprehensive online database of motorhomes that you can filter to narrow the choices down e.g. 4 belts, 4 beds, rear lounge under 7m. Been looking at loads of YouTube vids and been to a couple of shows but just when I think we’ve narrowed things down I come across something new (stumbled across the McLouis Fusion 330 yesterday which looks very interesting)
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any leads!

Bed dimensions would be a good inclusion.
They're a nightmare to find out for different makes and models.
Obviously important to know if you can get your leg over or not

Don't know of a database but this may help you when choosing and buying your first m/home...

To cut down the numbers we made several decisions.

We did not want British built
We wanted German built.
And if you are going for a german top, then you go for a german bottom as well, which means Mercedes.
We also decided on a maximum length that started with a '6'
And having rented several different motorhomes of different lengths, with different layouts and beds, we know we wanted fixed rear beds over a massive garage.
Add in your budget and be prepared to travel to the far ends of the UK for the right vehicle

That cut down the list to a few dozen.

I think "Practical Motorhome magazine" used to have back pages dedicated to a long list of MH and seats/ beds / layouts etc .....

Unfortunately the short answer is NO.

But if there were it would be very large if one considers the number of different models that have been produced by 100-150(?) manufacturers over even the last 20 years.

Recently Niessman&Bischoff announced their new Arto, which has 129 Variants.

It would ne an impossible task to create and maintain such a database.

I have never understood why the MH industry, with a small sales base compared with the car market, produces so many models.

auto trader motor homes let you filter your search by many options and a fair selection of vans on there

One thing which is extremely important is the payload. No point having a van which ticks most of your boxes if you don't have sufficient payload. https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/payload.254423/
