Having owned my Rapido 972M for 5 years I gave in to "her in doors" and brought it across the channel to the UK in September. 3 days at the York show was a great success despite the mud. Sadly as we entered Fort William "white van man" going like a bat out of hell came around a bend and removed by offside (near side when at home in France) mirror. Needles to say he did not stop!
A few days later we stopped at that well known UK dealer's to see if they had a mirror, No they replied but we could order one £935 plus vat and fitting. No Thanks said I! On route home we went to the Rapido factory at Mayenne, new mirror 774 Euros (£520) well it is electrically operated, heated and includes the indicator. Fitting by the local dealer cost 24 Euros Yes that's only £17 including vat!
Either the UK wants a big profit or the delivery business is extremely profitable. At those prices it has got to be worth bringing you motorhome to France for repairs and servicing.
