Well it does seem so, but it's a bit different than normal as the seller as put a postcode up where presumably you can view it.
It does seem cheap though although it is twenty years old, could be damp or something.

Well it is a genuine postcode, if you are interested in it, it's got to be worth asking.

Ha ha ha …. Yet another scammer ! Look again tomorrow and most of those for sale today will amazingly have moved somewhere else in the country.
Interesting that these are always “Classified” ads with no bidding and that you can’t give feedback.
Got that strange feeling that I looked at the 58 Autocruise Starburst when we were looking last year - and that was from a dealer.

No MHs parked on that road looking on street view but then it may be in storage IF a genuine seller.

If your considering why it MIGHT be genuine your half way to being scammed.

There’s bloody hundreds of MH scams on EBay. Pages and pages of them. And yes it’s a scam. They hijack an innocent eBay’s user name etc. you could spend all day reporting them and within a few hours there’s more back on.

Not encouraging anyone to do anything, anything over 5 grand is of no interest to me, but sometimes if you are after something you have to look at everything, you never know you might just drop on a bargain, but not till you have seen it.
I actually bought our first one unseen off eBay and did three thousand miles around Europe in it within 6 months of buying it.

I took 18,000 pound notes to a bloke in the East End for our first one.

Lots and lots of considerations beforehand (and I mean LOTS of checks)

Couldn’t agree more! I’ve bought and sold too many cars and campervans, MH’s over the years and many privately from eBay, Autotrader etc. I check as much as possible. HPI, check postcode, Google maps, google the persons name etc. etc. never puts me off, but eBay is always one to be careful on, again not enough to put me off, but a lot easier for the scammers to operate compared to Autotrader. Never part with any money before seeing the vehicle and conducting the above checks.

You can just make out the number plate:
Looks like RH04 XWG
Easy to find out if that is right.

Still not convinced this is a scam, ok he has a lot of motors for sale, at least 4 motorhomes but he has the same postcode on every one, surely a message can't hurt if you was interested.
