Very nice MH - the only thing I would say is that this is built on the old model fiat chassis - new model has digital dash amongst a few other additional things - nothing wrong with the older model just as long as you are aware!

We have put a deposit on the Carthago e line I 50 that 3a's Leisure are selling, just wondering if the previous owner is on here ?
Lovely Moho… Good luck with 3A’s.

Yes I know it’s the older model, beggars can’t be choosers.

Have you had dealings with them ?
We bought a new Swift Kontiki from them in 2018. There were numerous issues with the Moho within the first 3 months - 3A’s were absolutely dreadful. They tried to undertake some initial repairs, such as replacing the damaged bathroom door ( already damaged when we picked up the Moho.), but after waiting 6 weeks whilst they ordered a new door, when we returned to Carmarthen ( from Oxford) for them to fit the new door, it too was damaged - they hadn’t checked it… We then had to wait a further 6 weeks for a further replacement, during which time a multitude of further issues arose with the Moho. 3A’s failed to engage, didn’t return calls, emails or letters. I eventually rejected the Moho but even then they didn’t respond. In the end I had to get Swift involved ( after commencing legal action), and they took the Moho back to the factory for 6 weeks to sort out the multiple issues.

Even then 3A’s didn’t acknowledge anything or make contact. Swift acknowledged 3A’s poor performance as one of their dealers.

Personally I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.

But who knows, they may have changed…

Purchased a Carthago Chic e-line new in 2016 and done 43,000 miles and it is a lovely motorhome. Took nearly 4 years to rectify the problems and looking at the one on 3as website I would not be happy with only 6 months warranty. New units come with 2 years so where is the rest of the warranty ? Only a suggestion but Carthago are expensive bits of kit not only to purchase but also to repair. All the same good luck with it and enjoy your travels as we have done and still do especially in Europe.
