After many many months we have finally decided on a rig . We are looking at a 2010 Esperance motorhome. Phew at last you say, so do we.
My question is, where do we take it to be serviced? It has around 66,ooo kms on it and while I've heard it doesn't technically need one until 80,000 being an Iveco, we would like to do it before we take off into the big blue yonder.
Hubby is still working and we have plenty of time up our sleeves and would like everything checked over before we go. Any ideas??
Thanks
Rin & Steve

Welcome to the gang Rin and Steve, enjoy here and out in the playground.
No question is stupid, if you know the answer you wouldn't ask.
Now, I don't have a motorhome but if it were me, I would check with a local dealer. Maybe ask who you are buying it off.
Keep Safe on the roads.

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask
Dougwe has given good advice regarding the chassis servicing. If there is no local iveco dealer then seek out a mechanic that services trucks regularly. A local freight company could advise you on that.
With respect to servicing the accommodation section of the vehicle I would be inclined to find a specialist dealer who sells and services motorhomes. Not everyone will understaand the systems built in to such a vehicle. Especially caravan dealers.
