What to check before buying a Roller Team motorhome

Buying a motorhome is a big decision, and before choosing a specific model, it's worth looking at far more than just the design or the price.

If you're thinking about a motorhome from Roller Team, aspects like the number of seats, the interior layout, the type of bed, the storage space or how you're going to use it can make the difference between two seemingly similar models.

In this guide we cover the main points worth checking before choosing a Roller Team, so you can compare models based on your actual travel needs.

1. How many people will be travelling in the motorhome

The first thing to be clear about is how many people will normally be using the vehicle. Looking for a Roller Team to travel as a couple is a very different search from looking for a motorhome for a family of four or five.

Approved seats for travelling

Check the number of approved seats fitted with seatbelts.

Sleeping berths

It's also important to check how many people can actually sleep in the vehicle and how the beds are laid out.

The number of travelling seats doesn't always match the number of sleeping berths.

2. What interior layout you need

Layout is one of the factors that most affects how the inside of a motorhome feels to live in.

Within the Roller Team range there are various configurations, so it's worth thinking first about how you're going to use the interior.

Travelling as a couple

A couple may prioritise a fixed bed, a bigger lounge or more storage space.

Travelling as a family

Families may need more sleeping berths, bunks, drop-down beds or larger living spaces.

3. What type of bed you prefer

The bed takes up a significant part of the interior layout of any motorhome.

That's why, before choosing a Roller Team, it's worth comparing the different options.

Island beds

Makes access easier from both sides and feels similar to a conventional bedroom.

Twin beds

A common choice for those who want independence, and they make access easier.

Transverse bed

Makes good use of the space and can leave a large garage underneath.

Drop-down bed

helps increase the number of sleeping berths without permanently taking up space in the lounge.

4. Size and length of the Roller Team

A larger motorhome can offer more living space, but it also means taking driving and parking into account.

Before choosing, think about where you'll normally be using it.

For example:

• Narrow roads

• Cities

• Campsites

• Motorhome service areas

• Long road trips

The biggest vehicle isn't always automatically the most suitable one.

5. Storage space and garage

This point often goes unnoticed when buying, but it can turn out to be one of the most important things on your trips.

Think about what you normally need to carry:

• Bikes

• Tables and chairs

• Sports equipment

• Luggage

• Camping accessories

• Tools

If you carry a lot of gear, the size and accessibility of the garage should carry real weight in your decision.

6. How you're going to use your Roller Team

You might prioritise manoeuvrability, comfort and quick, easy use.

Long trips

Storage, living space and interior comfort become more important.

Year-round use

You should also weigh up insulation, heating and off-grid autonomy.

7. Equipment and autonomy

Besides the layout, it's worth checking what equipment each model includes and what extras you might need later on.

Not everyone needs the same equipment, so you should prioritise what you'll actually use on your trips.

8. Differences between the Roller Team ranges

Roller Team offers different ranges aimed at different types of user.

For example, within its catalogue you can find options such as Livingstone, Kronos or Zefiro, each with different configurations and vehicle types.

9. Seeing the motorhome before you buy

Whenever possible, it's worth physically stepping inside several models before making a decision. A spec sheet can give you the dimensions, but it can't tell you how it will actually feel to be inside.

• Walkway space

• Interior height

• Access to the beds

• Bathroom size

• Lounge comfort

• Cupboard capacity

• Garage access

You can even picture everyday situations like cooking, sleeping or using the bathroom.
