Hi Funsters
Really wishing we were at stratford with you.
Well we have looked at loads and very few are what they say they are in the adverts.
That goes for dealers too
We know what we want - no longer than 25ft, must be LEZ compliant have a rear lounge or bed, middle lounge and a large fridge/freezer (not the under the counter type)
You would think the LEZ would be the sticking point but no - its the fridge freezer that drastically reduces our choice but I am fed up going shopping every few days.
So far every single one we have looked at is dodgy or has outstanding finance.
Just as an example, if you are looking at this one on ebay both the DVLA and HPI have it as petrol but the dealer states categorically its a diesel. The DVLA told me to speak to Fords who wont release any information as I am not the owner, even though this sort of information is not data protected as its not personal information. For all I know it could be a ringer - there are ringers out there.
Its actually listed twice on ebay, once as a buy it now and once as an auction:-

I am fed up travelling miles and miles just to be disappointed.
Have any of you bought a motorhome with finance on it before - we are thinking of paying the money to a solicitor and getting the solicitor to pay the seller and the finance on receipt of motorhome keys - we cant see any other way of protecting our money. Finance companies say if you pay them and the seller doesnt give you the motorhome then they wont refund. If I pay the seller and they dont pay the finance off, the company can repossess it from us.
So fed up !!!
