Congrats on getting a cheyenne. They are lovely, but I am biased. We have the 840 SE Cheyenne & love it. Sadly its now up for sale and we will miss it, but being parked on the drive 95% of the time is a total waste. My 2 jobs dictate I work 6 days a week & preparing for 1 night away is just too time consuming to be worth it.
 
downhill's

hi im really sorry to hear about your wife however the brownhills sarge is not uncommon. we bought a brandnew bessacar495 wich left us £34,000 lighter 2500miles back and forth from home to brownhills and 9 months our lives wasted. Each time we went out we came back on a aa truck and left stranded for 7 hours. yes we know the story well. We took advice from trading standards office and eventually got a full refund and life long ban from all brownhill sites (don't know how we will survive with out our season pitch onn brownhills overnight parking)
however it sounds like time is really precious try forgetting about brownhills
and try and fing a good self employed or small garage where they do motorhome repairs. I know you shouldn't have to and maybe it will make your blood boil when your paying the bill.
But belive me its a small price to pay just to have them out of your lives.
Hope you have better days ahead

I understand where your coming from but we will give Browhhills the chance they have asked for and overtime we will probably chat on here of what happens the bits and pieces we buy etc. and I'm sure there may be times as with any garage that things are not quite right but never the series of faults and problems that we had this time, I truly believe that nobody would have intensionally let a van out in the state of ours as it would come back so quick to bite and more so with one of the purchaser having a terminal illness there are people like the press just waiting and wanting to exploit peoples miss fortunes to give somebody else a good kicking and fatten their wallets along the way. I'm absolute and sure that somehow our van slipped through the net totally, I could see looking in the eyes of the three people who have done their very best to make amends that these are very sympathetic human beings with feelings like the rest of us.

changing the subject totally, watch out in tonights sky there is about to be one of the greatest meteor showers of recent times.

Look out

I've read this thread as it's gone along with tears in my eyes - so pleased that it's worked out for you.

Then realised that as I'm only about 15 miles south of Bury I might well see you on the road when you take the Cheyenne for a drive prior to the big trip to Scotland. I'll certainly be on the look out.

Will also look out for the meteor showers tonight - just love them. Always wish on shooting stars, so many thanks for letting me know. :)
 
I would like to add my thanks for the support of all including Brownhills.
Mandy said by buying a motorhome we suddenly seem to have lot's more friends. I pointed out to Mandy the motorhome had little to do with it and that people care about her and how she is.
Mandy sends her love to you all.

You are both so Kind, I have noticed you all the way through our plight and have been grateful to you and so many others for your true kindness.
I have found Wildcamping full of good first hand information about motorhomes, I always thought it would be different, we had a caravan for many years but purely as somewhere to lay our heads after a days climbing.
I think Motorcamping is a way of life and I hope I will be able to do this for many years with my wife.
I do hope people are not fed up with this thread, I'm on here quite a lot as I feel I owe it to people to answer their comments or just acknowledge their good wishes although one or two people have made some rude comments because we chose to stay with Brownhills.

Anyway John - Ruth with the Good Scottish surname meaning Home, if we should ever visit your lovely Island we will be sure to visit you.
 
I to wish to thank the moderators for helping me when I felt totally alone by allowing things to continue. I have tried to remain strong for Mandy since her prognosis 10 months ago and I must admit I didn't think I was going to get through this, so close to a breakdown. I found on here there are many people willing to support you if the cause is just.
I'm very pleased with the way Brownhills seniors turned things around and so quick once they realised, I now feel the right thing would have been done eventually but the support of you good people and this and other forums pushed my plight to the top at lightening speed.
I think I may have said this before but Mandy said to me by buying a motorhome we suddenly seem to have lot's more friends. I said to Mandy the motorhome had little to do with it and that people care about her and how she is.
Mandy sends her love to you all.

I feel I need to step back and recharge my own battery's for a while.

Thanks Terry, been meaning to get back to you but as you can imagine it has been hectic. Mandy has been having some strange changes and headaches, we also had a mess up with Mandy's Hospital appointments that I just noticed,they had the scan after we see the specialist instead of the other way around so the scan is now Wednesday, the specialist will now have some results to discuss on the 24th. so fingers crossed for the 24th. Thanks again Terry. :)

Mandy's feeling very tired and I think the 6 hour round trip to the Malvern show will be to much, as soon as we get our van we will get to these shows and Rallies. Thanks for the invitation
