We called in yesterday as we needed a length of gas hose and thought we'd have a nose at the motorhomes on offer - as you do.
I was very surprised at the condition of the used motorhomes, broken and damaged items with no attempt to fix or replace. To me they looked ex-hire and hard used but with prices I would expect to pay for a barely used vehicle. The only van we would have considered was a Burstner but at a couple of years older, several thousand miles more on the clock and needing work on the interior we wouldn't swap Buffy!!!! Oh, and it was about ÂŁ10,000 more than our Buffy.
If I was a dealer I would make sure that obvious damage had been repaired and things like door handles and trim was not missing....... with things like that wrong it sends lots of red flags.
