PLEASE NOTE THIS VEHICLE HAS A GVW OF 3850KGS AND AS SUCH YOU NEED TO HAVE CATEGORY C1 ON YOUR DRIVING LICENCE TO LEGALLY DRIVE IT.

New MOT expires 9th April 2025. There were 7 advisories on the MOT and we have carried out 5 of these leaving just 2 very minor advisories. The windscreen has some very light marks on it from the windscreen wipers scratching. We cannot warrant replacing the windscreen on this age of van for such a minor thing (windscreen probably costs £1500+!). Also one brake disc on the inside has minor pitting/scoring certainly nowhere near bad enough to start replacing discs and pads.

There is one other thing we have discovered with the vehicle. Originally when new it had blower fans in front cab and rear habitation area blowing hot/cold air when the vehicle was running (run by the water/radiator system under the bonnet) at some point the front cab heating has been bypassed under the bonnet. Our opinion is that the heater matrix for the front cab is damaged and has been bypassed. The heater matrix is situated behind the dashboard and is normally connected to the engine's cooling system through hoses, it transfers heat from the engine to air, which is directed back into the cabin. In order to replace this part the entire dashboard would need to be removed, and this is a huge task which would need to be carried out by an expert. It is a common issue in older motorhomes like this. You can still use the rear habitation heating when driving and this warms up the inside of the vehicle, and to clear the windscreen on colder days there is a 12v blow heater now mounted on the dash.

Part Exchange
In most instances we would be enthusiastic to take your current camper van or motorhome in part exchange against this vehicle. Or we will also consider your car or van at trade price as we would just normally trade it onto the small network of car/van dealers that we sell to. I'm sorry but we don't deal in the following: Caravans, boats or motorbikes.

Payment
You can RESERVE this vehicle with ONLY a £500 deposit payable by bank transfer. An invoice would be emailed to you along with our company bank info and a welcome email explaining in black and white everything that the vehicle is going to come with. The balance wherever possible would need to be paid by bank transfer on collection/delivery. We don't have finance facilities sorry. Happy to accept a cheque but would need to clear in our account before vehicle is released. We can also accept cash (£8000 max).

MOT Workshops
Once sold most (but not all) RETAIL campers/motorhomes will go through one of the two independent Lincolnshire MOT workshops that we use and have a new 12m MOT carried out and also normally an engine oil service at the same time (unless it has been recently done) along with anything else the vehicle requires mechanically. We use two different MOT workshops depending on the size of the vehicle. WE DO NOT CARRY OUT MOT'S OURSELVES.

Habitation Checks
All retail vehicles will come with a habitation check covering gas/240v/12v and to ensure that all appliances are functioning correctly. Some habitation checks are carried out by Lincs Motorhome & Caravan Services whereas others are checked in-house (depends on vehicle type and how busy LMCS is)

Delivery
On our retail Camper/Motorhome vehicles we can normally offer NATIONWIDE delivery, but certain locations may be excluded from this offer. Sometimes we can offer free delivery, other times we can subsidise the delivery, this will depend on a number of factors including but not limited to: profit margin in vehicle, your location, length of time vehicle has been in stock, if you are buying online or have viewed the vehicle prior. This would be very much on a 'case by case' basis and if you are interested in delivery let us know your postcode and which vehicle you're interested in and we will endeavour to give you the best deal possible.

Collection
You are most welcome to come to us to collect. If you prefer to come by train to collect your new camper/motorhome in Lincolnshire then one of us can come and pick you up from Cleethorpes, Grimsby Town, Market Rasen or Lincoln Train stations. If you come and collect then we can do a full demonstration of your vehicle on handover which we are unable to offer if you opt for the delivery service (We can show you the basics though).

Viewings
Please be aware that all viewings are by PRE ARRANGED APPOINTMENT ONLY. We work from home in the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside and do not have set opening hours unlike traditional high street showrooms. Viewings arranged 6 days a week Monday to Friday 10.00am to 6.00pm and Saturday 10am - 4pm. Please note we are closed on a Sunday/Bank Holiday.

Warranty
For your peace of mind we give a 3 month warranty on all of our RETAIL camper vans/motorhomes (Full details are seen on our website). While every precaution is taken to ensure the vehicle is free of faults upon delivery/collection now and again things can and do go wrong (as these are older vehicles please remember!!!) and we don't have a crystal ball to predict if and when a problem will occur! When issues arise we will assist you to have the problem fixed. We will consider working with a local repairer to yourselves to have any work completed as long as their quotation is sensible (we cannot give you a blank cheque!), or the vehicle may have to come back to us for warranty repairs. There is a of course a limit as to how much testing we can do in our own workshops and sometimes it isn't until customers start to use their vans for days/weeks away that some minor faults can become apparent. There is a simple claims procedure that would need to be followed in the event that you have an issue and this is outlined in our warranty booklet and on our website.
