Guarantees
Had my Motorhome for two months now and have a question regarding the Guarantee given by the Dealer I bought it from
I was told that a full service would be given to the van plus a full habitation check would be carried out with a 3 month Guarantee
Now I know that the actual base vehicle, engine etc etc would automatically come with a 6 month mechanical Guarantee meaning that any faults during the first 6 months of ownership will be the responsibility of the Dealer
Does it not follow that the interior is covered by the same 6 month legislation?
Also what degree of damp is considered acceptable? The damp check just carried out is very good apart from readings of 12% over the cab.
Should this be rectified by the Dealer?
The van is an Elddis 105 2015 6k miles Peugeot

I think it varies from dealer to dealer. We bought a much older MH than yours, 12 years old at time of purchase. Our small independent dealer was a delight to work with. We got six months cover on everything including habitation unit. He was happy to sell knowing everything had been fully checked, we were happy to buy and accept the six months warranty on what we had seen and tried out. Four years on, we have had few issues with either base vehicle or habitation, just a faulty Spanish fitted alarm system, and a broken spring which my OH replaced! Given the state of roads we have travelled, we considered this a consumable item!
Would have no hesitation from buying again from this sales person. He scours country looking for quality secondhand MHs, only certain makes and models. He spends time and effort making all ready decent examples look and work very good, gives good back up if required. All the big dealers do is offload anything they get in for trade with minimal effort, minimal spend and then offer poor back up and warranty.

Yep, up to 15% is normally considered acceptable on a damp test reading.
Only your dealer can explain the terms of the warranty he's given, Dicky, but nothing he says can lessen your legal rights.

It’s whatever the contract with your dealer stipulated. That’ll be the contract you agreed to when you bought it.
The legally binding bit is the Sale of Goods Act, or whatever it’s called now. Do some internet research and find the ins and outs of it all.
