What To Look For In Older Motorhomes?

[OldHaggis]

'Ello you lot,

We're looking for an older motorhome like a 80's-90's Talbot or Fiat or even a Ford Transit.

The proper type not the ones that are like a modified van.

So we've seen loads, and looked at a few and I'd like to know what things to look out for with them, were there any things that those typs were prone for back then?

Obviously damp and those kind of things, are there specific places I should be looking for damp in?
Also as far as the chassis goes, I know cars and vans, but are there any prone places in which they rotted most?

Is there an engine to stay away from?

Anymore advice would be great too,
Thanks!

If you have a good engine body and chassis and now damp everything else is fixable.

Great vans these, mine is a 1996. Bought it as a trial into motorhoming and still have it 6 years later. Mine has the original 'graphics' (if you can call them that) but I like what you have done with yours

Thank you, yes they are great MH's, ours was bought as a stop gap and we still have her 3 years later.
The graphics had already been changed when we bought her.
Yours is looking good too.
