WHAT WE WISH WE KNEW BEFORE BUYING A NEW MOTORHOME - Tips on what to find out before you buy. 

Thanks for the videos. When we called roadside assist they would only tilt tray to nearest dealers. These dealers did not have trained mechanics for our vehicle. We found this by ringing dealers first. We did get sorted and on the road again quickly thanks to a very professional dealer.

We have 24/7Australia Roadside Assistance. Found them to be excellent both times we needed a tilt tray .

Yes most manufacturers do include some sort of roadside assistance package. But Renault only offers 12 months roadside assistance as they classify the motorhome new chassis as a commercial vehicle. It’s worth checking but yes we’d used Renault assist a few times & it was effortless & awesome! There are roadside assist from RACV, racq, NRMA, CMCA - but check the fine print as there are restrictions on length/weight/height & coverage on like carrying pets…

We are in NZ and we purchased a Benimar Tessoro through Traillite NZ. We had a couple of small issues that were rectified straight away. Their after sales service is top rate. We are due for a habitation service soon and there wait time is a couple of weeks. I am surprised that did not look at other MH before you decided to buy a Junkco. Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work. Happy travels.

Thanks for the tips - just looking at a Conquest now.

Have you not joined CMCA ! A must ! 👍🏻ken tame premium insurance etc . Plus a club that gives you endless free and cheap sites plus discounts everywhere!

Just found your channel. This is exactly what my wife and I are looking for as we’re interested in purchasing a motorhome in the near future. Thanks and keep up the great work

You’ve had your fair share of issues. We did with our caravan in another brand. I guess you could ask the questions but I think there might be an issue in getting an honest reply🤔 I would like to change my van but it’s taken us 3 yrs to get it right and I’m fearful of having to start the process all over again🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s murky waters isn’t it?😝

Thankyou you for the suggestions and info

Great info. Cheers Kev.

The ACCC ripped into caravan and rv manufacturers for misleading claims and defect warranties. They accused tgem of telling people with defective on arrival vans of refusing tge refund they are allowed. Never fixing know defects they made. Some had appalling defect avoidance where they didnt fix leaks etc despite common issues for all builds. Jayco was heavily criticised. Buyers should consider this. Also some chassis have poor quality eg fiat which could see major costs to fix failures and defect even after a very short time. Not like a car with 5 or 7 year warranty.

Thanks for the info. Reminded us that we haven’t contacted NRMA to add our second hand motorhome to the membership.

Thanks so much. It does help a lot. Where do you get the starlink modem from?😊

Thought we saw Brian on SOT last night was excited. Hit it was only some Random guy, bummer

Hi Guys! Just to clarify, you are saying Renault offer roadside service under warranty only? Once warranty has run out you're on your own?

All brands are the same in the way of wait times etc. dealers can only do what they can do, no manpower etc

First are you QLDers if so RACQ was about the best for traveling, good road side assist for big unites. As for services most van mobs they have agents and if insured the company will pay accommodation they will some times. The best phone we found Telstra was the best for reception and your modem the best we have been told is a fire stick and run it through your phone, the biggest tip i can give travelers it through away the watch and don't be in a hurry.

Common sense CIL not as good as RACV.
