Vehicle Broker Slept in my Motorhome without Permission
Discussion
Hi Everyone
I'm after some advice please....
My Husband and I engaged the services of a local garage to act as a Broker to sell our Neismann and Bischoff Arto Motorhome. It started at £60k in April this year; in two stages reduced to only £50k. It was new when we purchased it 2.5 yrs ago and was in 'as new' condition when we put it on his forecourt. When it was returned to us today, following no joy with the latest interested party, I inspected it to find that my immaculate mattress was stained, there was broken glass on the hob, the unused oven pan which had been cellophane sealed with the instructions inside when we left it had been opened and used, an unknown saucepan was in the cupboard, bathroom filthy, loose change in the locker plus other personal belongings and bits of crisps everywhere. I called the owner who proffered no explanantion except to say that one of his cleaners had broken the hob glass and he'd replaced it. I'm devastated as not only have we not sold it, but some stranger has slept in my bed and it's put me off using it again.
Any advice will be gratefully received.

Im A Motorhome Salesman for a large dealer, we sale or return vans for customers and would never dream of using one or loaning it out to anybody, the garage is taking the piss big style!
However apart from giving him a b
king I cant really see what you can do about it, you could threaten to report him to the fuzz for twoccing but you cant really prove anything,might give him a fright though!
If you are selling the van its best to stick with proper Motorhome dealers (presuming this place was a car dealer?) two good people I know in the trade are Tom at The Somerset Motorhome Centre and Rob Kirk at 3 counties Motorhomes.
Sadly for such good vans Niesmanns aren't the easiest things to find a home for privately or in the trade.
