ok people, i have been on here for a few weeks now and thanks for putting up with a bloke who hasnt even got a mh yet,but hopefully its all about to change! This week coming i am to get my exchange and completion date on the house,and this will be within the next ten days (they want to be in by december) so fingers crossed........I will be looking for a mh immediately,in fact i am looking now but i would only be able to pay a deposit as funds wont be available till completion! I am looking for a 4 berth as this will be my main residence (in spain) over the winter. I would like a fixed bed,with a storage(small garage i think there called) for some tools etc. I passed my test late 70s so driveable weight shouldnt be a problem..I have been looking on ebay and have seen some nice ones but most i see are being sold by motorhomedepot,these as i have been told are in administration and im a bit hesitant to go thru this company,they may well be great but im just a bit apprehensive ! I think i would prefer to buy privately but im still open to that,,the main thing i have to consider is price,i only have a budget up to approx £16,000 but may be able to stretch a bit more for the right mh...I have read on the site about the usual things to watch out for,damp,etc, but a big thing for me is being able to trust the seller ! I think i would get a better deal privately this close to christmas,with the cash etc but any help and advice is needed,and if anyone knows of a mh that would be a good deal for me,i would love to hear from you .... and thanks for bearing with me when i have posted,i wont feel so much of a fraud when i have bought and have a mh of my own.........ian....
