Hi everyone. 'Caveat Emptor'...buyer beware! I must have learnt that phrase over 40 years ago but, until now, it's had little significance to me. However, now that my wife and I are seriously looking into buying a motor home, it has suddenly become a huge consideration.
After what seems like forever, our research and shortlist has produced 2 makes and models; the Chausson 640 and the Bailey 69-4. Given the scarcity of both on the used market, we're probably going to be buying new: And that's were my caution kicks in.
Spending circa £60k makes it about the second most expensive purchase outlay of our lives. So, getting it right is vital and the subject I'd love to hear about from some experienced MH owners.
How do you sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to selecting a dealership? There must be a reliable league table of dealerships somewhere?
Are you tied to that dealership for servicing through the warranty period or can you go elsewhere after the purchase?
As a MH Sprog (newbie), I'd welcome any guidance on the matter of choosing a dealership.
Regards
