New (to us) motorhome

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

John,

How did you come by it? Seems a strange that you've bought it almost like a walk in/walk out arrangement.

"tanks" here---
Congratulations on your purchase.
As Bruce has posted replace all the tyres before you venture too far from home.
Also have a UHF CB RADIO fitted.

Is front wheel drive that can be a problem with traction on wet grassed areas but they are the most common vehicles and I will just have to be careful and carry a tow rope. Just found their can food stash but it is all out of date. The cat will love the cans of sardines and tuna.
I can (pun) relate to that 🤔

Happened to spot it at breakfast just after it was listed. A quick phone call to hold it and a trip straight to Adelaide. Grabbed it very quickly. Just in the right place at the right time. The husband died a few years ago and she kept it in storage until she went into care and a family friend handled the sale for her. There were a lot of checks and double checks and worry the make sure it was all legit but all the vibes seemed OK and all the checks came up as they should. Money transfer went as it should, received a receipt from her and the Rego went through OK. Can start breathing again now and I think I got a very nice and well priced motorhome. Do not want to do it again with a third party handling it as I think it has aged me a few years with worry. Cheers John
Ps Front tyres have been replaced and has just had a service
