People often arrive at the idea of buying a motorhome gradually. It might start with a few weekends away, talking to friends and family who have a motorhome, a hire experience that worked better than expected, or simply the feeling that travelling at your own pace is starting to matter more. By the time you are ready to buy, you are probably not just choosing a vehicle – you are choosing who you trust to help you do it properly.
And that is where we step in. At Derby Motorhomes, we often attract motorhome buyers who want to take their time and get things right – after all, buying a motorhome is typically a large purchase.
When you buy a motorhome or campervan from Derby Motorhomes, the emphasis is not on quick decisions or ticking boxes, but on understanding what you’re looking at and why it might suit you. Some customers arrive with a shortlist. Others arrive with questions. Both are treated the same.
If you want to browse the types of motorhomes and campervans available before speaking to anyone, some of our current vehicles can be viewed online at https://www.derbymotorhomes.com, where our stock is updated regularly and laid out clearly.
Why choose Derby Motorhomes?
At Derby Motorhomes, we are a long-established UK motorhome dealer offering new and used vehicles, clear guidance, access to finance options and after-sales support. We aim to provide a process that feels measured, transparent and properly supported from start to finish.
We put our customers at the heart of everything we do. As a long-established, family-run dealership based in Derby, we offer what we believe is honest guidance, clear information and a supportive buying experience built on trust rather than pressure.
We offer a carefully selected range of new and used motorhomes to suit different lifestyles, budgets and levels of experience. Whether you are buying your first motorhome or campervan, or upgrading to something new, we take the time to understand what you’re looking for, offering practical advice, vehicle walkthroughs, test drives, part-exchange options and access to motorhome finance where appropriate.
Trusted expertise
There is a noticeable difference between general product knowledge and experience that comes from seeing how motorhomes are actually used. At Derby Motorhomes, our conversations tend to focus on practical realities rather than brochure features.
You may want to know what a layout feels like after a few days on the road, how storage works in practice, or whether a particular model is likely to suit the kind of trips you have in mind. Those discussions are based on everyday familiarity with motorhomes, not sales scripts.
This approach is especially helpful for first-time buyers, who may not yet know which details will matter most once they start travelling. Talking things through early often helps narrow choices and avoid buying something that looks right but then doesn’t quite fit your needs.

New & used motorhome selection
Having both new and used motorhomes available in one place gives you more flexibility. At Derby Motorhomes we stock a varied selection, which makes it easier to compare different options without feeling pushed in one direction.
Used motorhomes are often chosen by buyers looking for value or higher specifications within a set budget. Buying used through an established dealer also offers reassurance, as vehicles are checked and presented openly.
New motorhomes appeal to those who want the latest designs, finishes and manufacturer support, and seeing both side by side can help clarify what feels right for you.
Finance & after-sales support
For many people, finance forms part of the purchase. We can introduce you, either directly or through a specialist credit broker, to a range of finance providers who may be able to help fund your purchase.
All finance is subject to status and terms and conditions, and we cannot guarantee that finance will be available in every case.
Ownership questions often appear after collection rather than before. That is where after-sales support becomes important. Whether it is guidance around warranties, early ownership queries or simply getting familiar with how everything works, having support available can make the experience far more relaxed.
This ongoing approach is one of the reasons many customers return to Derby Motorhomes when it is time to change or upgrade.
