Scottish dealers

Having now owned 13 motor homes I have unfortunately only purchased 1 in Scotland and that was from Motorhome Scotland who are long gone.

As for Perthshire, I have not heard any good experiences about them and one one occasion argued with me that the van they were trying to sell me was the current model. They had difficulty recognising that because the van would be registered that year did not make it that years model. Burstner had made a few changes and this van was clearly last season.

i have heard lots of very good reports about Knowpark in Livingstone. A family run business, never bought from them but a number of friends rave about them.

I maybe dodged a bullet there then

I would be interested to know how you got your motorhome serviced in Scotland Auchtervanner as in my experience none of the big dealers in Scotland will service or carry out warranty repairs on anything they didn't sell.

I bought my last motorhome from Perthshire and have it serviced there (a 400 mile round trip for me) You really have to be insistent to get them to do any warranty repairs, ever.

Dyce Caravans have a good name for sales.

I havent yet received my motorhome. My plan is to pay for the service either st St. Andrews Motorhomes or Perthshire Motorhomes as the cost saving on the purchase far exceeds the cost for servicing.

The warranty pack i received also states, it is a fiat 5 year vehicle warranty and warranty work can be carried out at any fiat approved dealer, the rest is covered by Swift and warranty work can be carried out at any swift approved workshop.

In all it will be about the same round trip for me to where i bought it from if i was to go back to the dealer i bought from. 

I was kinda looking for specifics in our MH so had limited choices to what van we could get and who had them.

All the Scottish dealers have the reputation for being high priced in comparision to dealers down south. 

Look at getting your habitation service done by members of the approved workshop scheme, who can be mobile engineers. Any approved garage can do your vehicle servicing. Crossburn Caravans in Peebles will do the habitation on motorhomes. 

I bought my motorhome (at the Lincoln show) from a Dealer near Durham NE Camper.  I have nothing but praise for their aftersales.

Being a 'poor pensioner', the idea of having a new van is a thing of the past, but the problem I found was not expensive dealers, but a lack of dealers!

Since my current van is out of warranty, I don't waste money on habitation services, and I have a first class local garage that can service just about anything  on wheels.
