New to motorhome fun but old to rvoc (1 Viewer)

[R RV]

Oh that specialist motorhome dealer needs avoided. Can you give us a clue as to which area of the country where the work was carried out?

Not at the moment - don’t want to jeopardise anything with the insurers. :-(

but if they start buggering me about I’ll happily put the full factual story for everyone to see. As this is and has been a devastating situation for me Tina and Steve

Totally understandable.

Welcome and sorry for all your losses have been following yours on rvoc we have spent the last 8 weeks looking at new 7.5 ton rvs to be a bit larger than my tag axle but could not quite find the right one with the right spec or quality to match our german one , following your awful fire we have decided to make the best of what we have to maintain the same quality . Good luck with your search whatever you decide.

So sorry to hear what you are going through and glad that NFU are doing the right thing. Hope you get it sorted soon as it must hang over you and colour everything you do.

Only a day to go - at least then we’ll know what happened or where the fire started HOPEFULLY

SO GOOD NEWS

the forensic guy has been and done his investigations and has pretty much confirmed what we already thought.
so this should make the process of ensuring we are properly covered for all/ most of our losses.

next stage is to see what nfu are going to value RRV at and then we need to recover our uninsured losses from the supplier, who was here when the investigation was being done. A bit awkward

but positive - which is what we wanted

Yes the problem with the newer RVs is the quality is rubbish. Really thin walls and cheaply made.
Or you have to go big like RRV then you end up not getting on a lot of sites etc etc - everything’s a compromise
We’ve just been to white arches in Wellingborough- they’ve got nothing in stock - but what it did help with us I think I need to go for a tag axle type as going from a 40’ Rv to a small Motorhome would be too much of a culture shock :-(

Based on where you are coming from, go for the ‘heavy’ chassis models built on the Iveco platform. Gives you far more payload and durability than a lightweight tag axle...
