Photos of vans

[Topmast]

Why is it that folk take such stupid photos of their vans when advertising them . I have been trawling all the s/h selling sights recently and getting a picture of a front wheel ,a steering wheel, an exhaust pipe ,often no photo of hob,bed or layout.Sometimes one picture and a discription saying just it’s a Motorhome.Some of the dealers are as bad as the private people.

Some of the dealers think it’s 1970s. I must say Southdowns put near 100 photos on of every van.

Pity they dont sell them at 1970 prices.

The ones I don’t understand are when they take about 12 photos of the outside and none of the inside

It's the dealers that seem to do that. I think they reckon they look so pretty on the forecourt that's all they need. They don't seem to realise that the people looking will actually live in it, if only for a few days at a time.

When we got our last van we went round a show and were in & out of mosts vans in seconds because one look inside told us they weren't right for us.

Most are built for c/site use 2 weeks a year,not like our proper vans 24/7.

What I want if seriously looking at a MH is

Layout diagram - does not have to be dimensioned, because if I know the overall length I can scale off the rest of it.

Full manufacturer's specification

List of extras

Plated weights.

When it was last weighed and a (truthful) list of persons, fuel and water on board at the time.

Copy of V5C

Pics are next to useless - they could have been taken before the accident.
