I was hoping that rather than just seeing the inside of a few MH's which I could do at any dealer, that, as the title indicated there would be a bit more about the auction side of it.... ie do these have reserves? what sort of commission charged? Is VAT payable? What sort of prices do they make in comparison to retail prices?

I would say best to hire one before you buy one. And definitely if it's your first one buy from a dealer with a good warranty 👍

What is the saving you get at auctions and is there any warranty with what you buy.

@TheMotorhomeMan 4 жыл бұрын

You do not get any warranty when the hammer goes down it is your's,it is going to be cheaper than buying from a dealer like me.

@matty6848 4 жыл бұрын

That concerning what if you spend a lot of money & the thing is a knacker? Think I’d rather spend more and have a warranty for peace of mind.

Cherry wood always seems quality, but can be a bit dark with the wrong interior. With covid there will be a few more vans at auctions, could be a buyers market. Any van i would buy would need 6 foot bench seats.

As someone who has a tourer caravan I’d love a motorhome but there just so expensive. Maybe in the future once I’m retired & have no mortgage!

@TheMotorhomeMan 4 жыл бұрын

Hope you do Matt

@matty6848 4 жыл бұрын

The Motorhome Man hopefully I will get my hands on one in the future. Tourer caravans are great dont get me wrong but it’s all the hitching up, towing and set up when you get to site. With a motorhome it’s more or less ready to go. I might just have to start off with a older motorhome & hopefully once my mortgage is paid I can get a bigger & better one. But really would love the pure convenience or a motorhome. I’ve had a look in some & it’s amazing how spacious & roomy they are👍

The Motorhome Man haha it’s a cult, 😂obviously starting with the splitty then the bay window, as the price of them became out of reach for the every day working man we switched to T4 at first old work vans, gave them some love, old battered ultra high mileage beauties, put all our money into getting a camper we could use every day, down to the coast catch some waves, then the T5 which saw us get a bit posher before the T5.1 and T6 saw us original T4 owners now a little older with shall we say more disposable funds, we then made them “posh” but still remember the good old days and we re-live our youth. 👍

@darrenwhyman4539 4 жыл бұрын

Used to, but now to many cowboys, knocking them out, not insulating or using safe rock n roll beds, etc, there are no minimum standards, we can’t match their prices as they are not doing a good job, look good on the surface but no insulation means condensation which wrecks that van from the inside out, a personal hate of mine. But the vw camper world is massive, you convert an old work van to a camper slap nice wheels and paint job on it and they sell like hot cakes 😀
