if you are buying a motorhome from a dealer is it rude to get it independently checked?

[katymac]

By something like the Caravan & Motorhome "pre-purchase inspection service"

It feels rude - but possibly a good idea

Fuck rude!

Seriously though you'd be mad to spend thousands on something and not get it checked-and if the dealer thinks you're being rude maybe it's because he has something to hide.

Happy camping!

Well that is unequivical!!

I was leaning that way

Thanks!

Ha! Yes-I was feeling rather bombastic this morning! But I stand by it!

Hope it all goes well

No problem at all - I'm just wobbling at the whole thing atm - panic galore!

It's a pretty major purchase, so you're bound to feel a bit wobbly, but don't, out of politeness, not get the check.

Is it lush?

It's lovely - but needs reupholstering as we are going away for 4 months so need it really nice

It's not perfect but it is pretty good

Have you found one yet? Just seen someone selling an automatic on a Motorhome Facebook group- photos look good, you'd have to join the Motorhome Madness group to view it.
" MOTORHOME FOR SALE....2007 Adria 2.5 AUTOMATIC 38,000mls Renault DCI 2/4 berth. Bought it last week with 6mth warranty but motorhoming is not for me. I will be taking a hit on the price. Genuine sale & cracker of a van. Contact me in Arbroath for further details. Serious offers over £20k."

Aw thanks that is so kind of you - I bought one today

So excited

What did you get?

This one - bit terrified too

It needs reupholstering

Is that Webbs in Newbury?
Nice van. You now have all the fun of filling the cupboards and buying too much new Camping stuff :)

And if you are doing a 4m trip would highly recommend a refillable lpg tank.

Now we will do it with mostly what we have at least kitchen wise

Except we need a dog cage for the cat or somewhere safe for him to travel

DH has a new bike & I am looking for an electric bike
