Over the years that we have been looking at motorhomes we have become aware of a love/hate relationship with owners towards Brownhills. Given that we are now in the really serious looking stage we decided to have a ride up there to see for ourselves. On their website they had a range of vans that ticked various boxes for us so the 100mile journey seemed worth it.
We checked the website over the weekend prior to departure and all of the vans were still in stock plus a couple of others. On Sunday morning we set off on the 2 hour drive. We also planned our route back via some other dealers.
On arrival we were initially impressed at the facilities and layout but couldn't find any of the vehicles we wanted to look at. I asked if we had missed anywhere and was told that they were all up in Lincoln!! We hadn't taken any notice of the Lincoln dates as we had no plans to visit.
Given the regular updating of their website surely a strap line about limited stock over this weekend would have been useful. If we'd only been looking at a couple of vehicles I would have rung; with several it seemed to have purpose.
The receptionist tried to help us but the sales team just weren't interested. That's £50K they won't be getting!
