Been thinking of get a camper van or motor home recently. Any one on here with a few pointers as to the best options..van or motor home. Was planning to rent one for a week but not sure where to go. Is there a list of parking spots? Anyone know if there is big swinging scene amoung campers?

Would be way cheaper to buy a caravan but they have a bad image due to a well known Irish community

How did the scam work out of interest?

Buyers were taken in by a slick sales pitch, paid some or all of the money up front (very trusting and unwise) and goods never arrived; it was more complex than that, and the supplier was based in England or Wales as best I can remember. Joe exposed the scam because several Irish residents had been conned by what purported to be a reputable supplier but it was a few years ago.

Camper vans are easier. Just get one with a shower.

Be aware that motor homes being larger may require a class C driver license ie: over 3.5 tonnes.

C1 covers to 7.5 ton very unusual for camper to weigh more than that. Problem is c1 is considered commercial and stricter medical and it’s every 5 years

13.3 % starting point of €125 but if you get all the details from the dealer and it can be seen that there’s only two seats and belts

You can appeal what the revenue charge

Technically you wouldn't have to pay vrt if you buy from another EU member country but try telling that to the Irish government, for years they ripped people off when bringing cars in from the UK when they themselves were EU members.. Paying vrt on a vehicle brought in from another eu country is completely illegal and before brexit the government were fined every year for this very reason but they made that much money from vrt that they could pay the fine over 20 times so they continued to break the law.. Imagine a government behaving like that

Still a hell of a lot cheaper if you try to buy one here
