Very cheap price and an email for info I would be tempted to approach with caution, just my opinion.

As you assume Barry, extras simply make it more attractive to the buyer, more for your dosh so to speak, but there are bargains to be had, this just popped up on a saved search on eBay (I never look elsewhere to much messing about putting details in of what you want) tie down what you want and save the search.

Too long for us, but might do you, narrow as well IIRC.

Definitely the "same old, same old" scammers still at work there, Pudsey (y)

That other van link you've posted up is older than Barry's current one, I think?

Which is why I wondered if I would be better off removing the Camos Dome. Its old but it still works. Chances are the replacement van (Whenever that arrives) may well have a sat dish but if not I could save a chunk of money by installing the new one but I have concerns about removing the dish. Cross that bridge when I come to it.

Stop dreaming and get real Barry. ;)

Are you able to disconnect the wiring, then get up on the roof to remove it and fill in the holes left behind? Velcro is no good to stop your roof leaking.
 
Just so you know. I won't be removing anything. My motorhome man will be. The Camos dome cost in 2008 £1400 so god knows what they cost now but it's questionable now if we would need it. It wont add much to the value though. The footprint is crap in Europe now and most stuff we watch on the laptop or stream now. What I don't know is how Leisure tech secured it. If its stuck down then it could be a big problem to remove it.

As for a replacement van it's narrowed down to two maybe three. Bailey approach 760se, swift 496 esprit highline (luton) or maybe a later lunar roadstar 726. Last time I looked there were very few available and prices were much higher than a year ago. No rush though.

Not got the numbers Barry, but bear in mind Baileys are possibly the widest vans out there and might be a problem for where you park yours.

Swift that I looked at just now seemed expensive, Roadstar looks good value for money though https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lunar-Ro...888470?hash=item366b16c596:g:vkAAAOSwKblfdB9b

Cheers Kev. The Roadstar will likely just about fit on the drive. I dont think the Bailey or the Swift will. They are both about 7" wider. However I know the Bailey and Swift have enough payload to take the rack and scooter but I only think the Roadstar might, could be touch and go. There is an undercover motorhome storage place just round the corner at a farm though so if it dont fit, it can go there.
 
You may wish to add something like donedeal.ie to your list of possible sources. It is likely to broaden your chances of coming across a U shaped lounge and a British make which seem to be high on your list.
Historically importing a secondhand Motorhome from the UK into the Rep of Ireland could be a bit of a faff as they add a tax which rarely seems to equate to the value of the van. I don’t know how things work the other way round and it may take a while for new rules to take effect after the withdrawal.
A lot of the adverts are dealer related, but same as autotrader etc. Autotrader also has an .ie version which might be worth a look.

Personally i would not bother taking anything off it's old now and probably more trouble than it is worth just sell the lot at the price you want or price it high but open to offers

I think you might be right. It was mainly the Dome but it may well be an attractive selling point. I did wonder if the scooter rack might also be given that there are so few vans with a rear lounge with enough payload to safely take a rack and here is one fully kitted out ready to go but I suspect with it being and old van it might be more likely to attract a family buyer on a budget.

The way things are going economy wise and with the B word, I reckon demand for campers across the board might outstrip supply for a wee while yet...?

And that includes older models...
 
Just be realistic on price you will accept it is an old van and there are other vans out there at reasonable money but without all the extras therefore making your van more desirable to people - if it was me and it had 2 refillables i'd probably take 2nd bottle and replace it with exchange and it would not effect description or end value but it is only a saving of £100 or thereabouts for 2nd bottle and the hose 2nd hand value wise
