Hi Graham,
Sounds like a lot of hassle. I’ve approved the comment so that others who can maybe help will be able to reply. I tend to find dealers are next to useless once a vehicle reaches 10 years of age. They are only interested in selling new or nearly new vehicles. To be honest there are aspects of motorhomes that don’t make sense. They are built on commercial vehicles that are designed to please white van man who does high mileage and scraps the van after 5 years. I’ve seen plenty of rusty Merc Sprinters that are not that old. Motorhomes are expensive vehicles and we expect them to last. It seems crazy to have all those expensive interior fittings bolted onto what is a chassis that’s not really designed to last.
I still like the campervan lifestyle but beginning to question whether there is a better way to lead it.
I wish you all the best.
Gary
