Brownhills are Downhills

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.

I have looked at the 840 SE and admired them but I would need a massive driveway for one of them but they are fantastic. Are you giving up Motorhomes altogether ? such a shame.

Hi sorry to hear that but if you PM me the details, one never knows might be interested in buying the van on a hassle free cash transaction

I am really glad for you & Mandy to have your problem sorted quickly & to your satisfaction (hopefully) While yours was to some extent a special case due to the circumstances Brownhills & other dealers should be able to resolve these issues & give the customer the service you would expect when parting with our hard earned cash all the time regardless of personal circumstances.

While I am willing to pursue my rights as aggressively & for as long as it takes to get any problems sorted I know others who will give up. I only ever want what was agreed to when I buy something, I usually make my own notes to remind me who said what & when, I also try to get them to confirm it in writing or email.

Hi,

We're not going to buy another for a couple of years if we sell this one. I work 2 jobs/6 days a week and its just so much hassle to organise just 1 night away. I end up really stressed trying to organise pet sitters and getting the camper organised & loaded.

We've booked 6 days off 4th Sept to 10th Sept and will probably go away for a couple of days then, if its not sold. We're also going to go away Xmas Eve to the Beach, to watch the waves crash in for Xmas Day, if its not sold. (though thats more to avoid the mass cooking I have to do for my family who bulk order my gravy)

We're not desperate to sell it because we know it'll be worth similar next spring so we're not going to give it away price wise. We don't owe money on it so its not really going to eat or drink much.
 
I was hoping to tell all you good people I had got my Motorhome but 4am Tuesday Morning I was rushed into Hospital with an acute appendicitis, so now my son has taken time off work to look after Mandy and Andy. I talked with Dean from Brownhills and he said he would deliver the motorhome, which I thought was very nice.
Cant drive for another week so I will be able to look out the window at it.
Oh lucky man!!

Thanks but this seems to get sillier and sillier before this I got to the point of dreading friends finding out of the run of bad luck and believe me there is a lot more and as major and worse than we have posted, I take that back my wife illness is the worst by a mile.
Last night Mandy came to visit me in hospital and we looked into each others eyes and just started laughing, I think the other patients thought we are mad ( if only they knew) and it hurts to laugh.:)
 
I also bought a motorhome from Brownhills. It was 6 years old. They gave me all the assurances about full service, MOT and 12 months tax. In my opinion the customer does the pre delivery inspection.

They told me the van had extras that simply did not exist. They wriggled as best they could but eventually I had no option but to take them to court. They did not defend it. I got my cheque for £2500.

If you do buy anything from them be sure to avoid being told you have 12 months bumper to bumper. You will find that anything that does go wrong falls into the "wear and tear" category.

well the 24th is here, the day we have been dreading and longing for. Going to Addenbrookes this morning and should be home by 5pm with a result.
I'm feeling quietly confident that we will be given the all clear and if this is the case Mandy should live at least another two years although she could get ill a lot sooner, it means we will get another year of reasonable good health and can use our MH and live our dream. :eek:
 
Hi Locksmith and Mandy.

We are all anxiously waiting for the latest news, its now 16:00 hrs 1 hour to go – this thread is like a maternity ward, we are all pacing up and down waiting to be told the latest news. I am sure I speak for all on this site when I say you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

The results are far better than they would have ever hoped. There is no return of the tumour what so ever. Mandy must keep the physiotherapy going and build up her left side functions and next appointment 3 months 23rd Nov
I'm so so pleased and our Motorhome arrives tomorrow morning. :)

Thanks everyone, I know some of you have been waiting. :)
 
Great news, now just get a good handover and go forth and enjoy.

Peter
 
Glad to hear that things are looking up for you both, hope you have the holiday that you wanted now. :D
