Hi there

Just a thought hmm

Have you considered speaking to the local dept of transport and employing one of their inspectors to run it over the pits?

I know it'll cost a couple of $100 cry but gives you peace of mind about the roadworthyness biggrin of the vehicle, also they could take some photographs for you of the vehicle not shown by the seller.  

Just a thought, good luck.

Hi there campers.

Just wondering if anyone was in or near or intending to go to the area of Gosford and would be prepared to take a look over a Mazda Motorhome for us?

Weve had quite a  bit of contact with the company selling the bus but are a bit reluctant to go ahead with the sale, sight unseen.

Not that we would know much ourselves as were newbies.

It seems quite a good buy but there are a few things that have us a bit concerned.

Just when we think we may have finally found the one!

Cheers Deb, Grant and Roma.

You could get a pre purchase inspection from the NRMA or there are others who do so as well. With NRMA it would have to go to a Motorserve centre. Gosford is a large place so likely has one nearby. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

Thanks for that.
We thought the mechanical check wouldnt be a prob but were more worried about the camper side of things.
The young guy at the sales place says he cant find the house battery and a few other things weve asked, so without seeing it ourselves were a bit loathe to make an offer. Weve had dealings before with people who give inaccurate advice due to lack of knowledge but are starting to assume the bus is a power only type with no grey tanks etc? .
As newbies were not entirely sure if it would be cost prohibitive to buy it and do some of the work ourselves such as add house battery re wire , solar panels etc, if what he says is indeed correct..

Cheers.

There is a place at Ourimbah quite close to Gosford who converts MHs called Macron Campers. He might be worth a call to ask if he knows of anyone who could take a look for you. Someone who knows what to look for. He seems a nice bloke, good reputation.
