We have 2 very dear friends who are very serious about buying their first motorhome and they have asked me to help them. My only experience of MH's is from the 80's when we had a 73 Mk1 Ford Transit Ci wayfarer (Lift up roof) my knowledge of today's models is very limited, so I would like to ask for your views and tips on the subject.
So they have been to the show last month, visited many dealers and narrowed their choice to 3 makes/models. Last night over dinner they told us they think they have found the one for them. Its a 1 year old Knaus Sun Ti 700 on Fiat chassis. with very, very low mileage. one problem is it's 150 miles away so if going to view we need to be armed with as much info as possible.
A few questions then.
What extras will they need? I assume a EHU lead, Step ?, Leveling ramps. Gas bottles. Anything else?
Should it come with the thermal blinds for the cab windows?
Does having the habitation door on the O/S cause any issues in the UK (club sites?)
Whats your experiences when doing the deal. Is the screen price set in stone or are some dealers open to negotiation.
All help greatly appreciated
