We're back in the motorhome hunt again as we seek out a van that's as good as our Starburst, but with a fixed bed. Saw three today - all Autocruise again, two Starblazers and a Starseeker. The Starseeker had just come in at the dealer's and had yet to be valeted. It was lovely, but everything that the previous owner had done to 'onprove' it put us off it! Cheap little shelves tacked into the overhead lockers, a TV screwed to the [for us] totally wrong wall, with leads going into the open door of the overhead locker, a four gang socket extension screwed to the underseat locker... the list went on! Basically we'd want to take out and put right [in our eyes] everything the previous owner had done to it, which could well result in no sale.
The last van we saw was a private sale. We'd arranged a time to view, and it was over 50 miles away. Again,the van looked sound, but this time it was full of the owner's stuff! Not just crockery and cutlery, but every locker was stuffed full of clothes and personal belongings. It made it really difficult to assess the thing properly, and we both found it off-putting. Again, not necessarily a dealbreaker, but I can't understand why, if he wanted to sell, he'd not gone all out to make it as presentable as possible. We all want to step into a van and go 'wow'. Don't we?
