We went to the NEC in October 2011 and whilst we were there left a deposit on a Burstner motorhome that Timberland had on order. After we got home did a bit of research on Timberland/Kevin Cain and got cold feet looking at his past history. Actually he set alarm bells off when (after the deal was done) he started asking if other exhibitors has been telling us about his liquidation, and his bank pulling out from him, that he nearly chinned his bank manager - nice!
Since then we have been fighting this with a solicitor as Cain is taking us to court. In fact we are in court today where Cain is claiming legal fees in excess of 20k loss of profit on new van and loss of profit on sale of our van. We had cancelled in less than 48 hours. He had never seen our van and claims he sold it at this show. Most dealers would have just left it as one of those things. We didn't want to leave our present motorhome with Timberland which was worth approx 70k until the new van arrived the following year just in case he went into liquidation again as we would have lost everything. We did a company credit check on Kevin Cain and he has lots of dormant and liquidated company's. Well we shall know the outcome layer today, just got my fingers crossed. We did buy another motorhome afterwards, we went to Camper UK, they were excellent. We have purchased from Emm Bee they were good. Brownhills Ok, Travelworld ok. Camper uk definitely the best. Would steer clear of Timberland
Good luck today. I cannot believe he can claim that within 48 hours he racked up £20,000 worth of expenses. How do these people get away with it.
I hope the court see's what a toe wragg he is and finds in your favour. Will keep fingers crossed for you.
