This company are based in Ayr and used to be part of Border cars before they went burst leaving a lot of locals out of pocket and workers pension contributions weren’t paid, they say they’re a new company and now called the MH company all though all signs still say BC MH’s.

I thought when they reopened I’d give them the Benefit of the doubt when looking for a new van, one salesman was okay but the other who had worked there for years knew nothing about their vans and tried to tell me what van I wanted. I seen a new van I liked just over £60k and asked them about a few extras and what their best price was only to be told the boss was off and they’d phone me the next day, that was January and I’m still waiting.
As for their service department I’ve no idea what they’re like, if you’re looking for base vehicle service I can recommend JF Black in Dumfries he’s done my 4 vans and is a Motorhomer himself.

Thanks for that - reading it it looks like they provide only after sales care?. We will have a look around next week

Thank you for that - JF Black sounds just the ticket (y)

Since 2019, a bit before lockdown!
Number 53 says Edwards Motors and Elite in Banbury.
There is an Edwards Motor Homes at Kempsey near Worcester which is trading and also Elite near Banbury so it is possible that these have somehow got combined in the spreadsheet when they are actually separate companies.

141. Robsons of Wolsingham.

Just driven past it and this is their entire motorhome stock. They've moved from a dealer to a campsite and repair specialist from what I can see.

They only had 3 vans pre-lockdown so it's not as if they've sold a load of gear.

Yes they still sell used motorhomes and caravans and are still an official Pilote service centre
At the moment they are struggling to buy in used motorhomes for resale but have a fair few newish caravans for sale on their website

On our return trip today Neil I read the signage on the side of the Pilote in the pic and the van appears to be their holiday rental van.....

.......which means that Robsons have zero motorhome stock.

Wow!
