motorhome depot

I see from previous  posts that one or two members have bought from Motorhome Depot with no problems.  Does anyone know how it works if there is a problem with the van after purchase - is there any comeback against Motorhome Depot or is a buyer left to battle with the previous owner?  And what about trade-ins - does MD take on the purchasers old van?

We have sold and bought through them. MD offer a warranty that the buyer can purchase. There is no come back on the seller and MD do their own superficial checks on the vehicle as well as ensuring a certain life on the MOT, service and habitation certificates before taking it on.  There is not a part exchange as such as they do not hold stock as it is a Franchise company. Mr L when faced with Redundancy some years ago he thought about buying a Franchise as what he does not know about motorhomes is not worth knowing...until I reminded him that he was no salesperson and even worse at making purchase decisions. He quickly agreed, which was about the quickest decision I had seen him make for decades! 

I have to say in terms of the personal service it depends on the personality of the franchise holder who you deal with. Our local dealer is great. We have enquired about a van some distance away and that dealer was very curt.

Some franchisees are traders and do have their own stock as well so may well take part exchanges, depends on the agent, so worth asking.

Thanks Paulmold, I did not know that.  My new knowledge for today!

Just had a quick look on the Motorhome Depot website and found a van being sold by Cornwall Motorhome Centre with this disclaimer...

Thanks Paul and Lancy.  Re the Cornwall dealer - I came across the same thing with another one further north.

I bought the Hampshire from Motor Home depot at Mansfield, it was owned by them , not a brokers van, had a warranty with it, cannot recommend them highly enough, nothing was too much trouble, anything I pointed out was done no quibble,am really pleased with the van and would buy from them again if  changing. left to spend as much time as we wanted in the van, they put on the heating and bought us coffee.

Best dealer we have dealt with over 35 years including buying caravans. which were before motor homes.

So yes a big recommendation.
