How Our Hab Check Uncovered the True DEPRECIATION of Our Motorhome

@@dogzero1 It's the advertisers that pay, not KZbin. and they only become interested if they reach a large audience, so the more that watch the channel, the more they will pay. Subsc,riptions to channels are only a basis for the advertisers to work from. if only, say 1000 are subscribed then the advertisers will think not many watch, even though perhaps 3,500 watched that particular episode, Subscriptions mean regular watchers, and it's that, that grabs the attention of advertisers. .

We had three motorhomes over thirty years , kept them for ten years and then traded them for new ones. On all three we got half the original price when we sold them on after between 50 and 75 thousand miles each. Only had problems with build quality on the last one , an Auto Sleeper Amethyst which went back to AS three times to sort out a lot of build problems. Not sure I would pay £80,000 or over for a new one today with all the build problems that get reported in the press.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hello, thanks for watching 👍👍👍👍

[@andycoles4588]

That's great news that your motorhome hasn't depreciated too much.🙏 The price of new ones has gone crazy. We were lucky we ordered our CV40 when we did. I hope ours has kept its value, too. 🙏 Loved Claire's quote. Referring to Larry Grayson, "Shut that door " 😂😂👏 Thanks, Andy & Claire, for bringing so much joy to everyone with your fantastic sense of humour . It's absolutely brilliant ❤

Regarding depreciation. You guys had the good sense not to buy new. I bought a new van in March this year for for £77,500. Current trade in value is around £55,000! Love the channel 😊

Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear this. Fingers crossed things change or you win the lottery 👍👍🤞🤞

[@drivingthefrontier]

Yes, everything you say after 18:00 seems to ring true as far as our experience goes. I think families will still be looking for multiple sleeping options, 4 and 6 berth but lots of people now only go away with their partner and island beds and single beds at the rear seem to be very popular. Rarer finds - ours is 6.49m and has an island king-sized bed - do keep their value. Ours is now new £75810. It is 3 years old. We paid £55,000 (as ex-demo) for it and they are now around £59,000 on Autotrader via dealers for the same age and mileage. So, I think, similarly, we haven't lost anything if we sold privately but if we part exchanged through a dealer we might only get £45k plus if we are lucky. Everyone's situation will be different but we are glad you weren't disappointed. Keep up the great, natural videos! (we don't get paid by KZbin!!! haha)

On the Fiat Ducato there is a bar under the seats that we use to restrain our 2 dogs using a restraint that is designed to go over the headrest. We’ve gone from 6m Motorhome with drop down bed to 7.5m with a fixed bed that we found too big for what we enjoy doing and now we have an Autotrail 6.3m panel van with rear lounge that suits us perfectly.

Yep if you buy carefully the depreciation is minimal depending on how long you keep and maintain - I’ve the same with my motorbikes some of my mtb’s (sold one earlier this year for 5x what I paid for it 20 years ago then again it was a unicorn) and our current caravan should in theory break even after 5-6 years which is when we’ll be probably looking at a motorhome option and it would have to be A class as long as I can get it reversed onto the drive

It's interesting to hear that you want to move away from a drop down bed to a fixed bed and we have an Elddis Encore 250 with fixed island bed and want to have a rear lounge and a drop down bed. For you, what are the negatives you had found with a drop down bed? For us we didn't appreciate that when we viewed the Moho tge island bed didn't have any bedding on and was pushed back which made it appear there was lots of room. In reality when the bed is fully extended with the bedding on there is little room to walk around the bed. We do love our van, But every van comes with a compromise but would really like an end lounge.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. Yes we agree, every van comes with compromise. We want to be able to have a cuppa tea in bed more easily .. sounds silly really. The other thing is, it won’t drop down lower than our waist so is a bit of a jump up into it, we didn’t really take that into account 👍👍👍👍 have a good evening and thanks for watching

@@Stchristopherofatlantis Our caravan has a fixed bed, but to one side.. so whoever sleeps next to the window, has to climb over the missus, to go to the loo, in the night. An Island bed would be better but we'd still be climbing over each other, as there is never enough room to get by when it's occupied. compromises, compromises.!!

What's the reason for wanting a fixed rear bed ? We are now looking for a drop down bed van and now have us wondering if it's a bad idea. Why would you prefer the fixed?

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Our bed drops down to about waist height (bit higher) and it does make it tricky to jump up and out of it. Sounds silly but we don’t consider that Thanks for watching

[@MarriottSL]

Arrr ok we are looking at one that the bed drops low so you dont need a ladder. Challenger 260 is one of them, then the chausson 640​@@Stchristopherofatlantis

[@michaeloneill6053]

We have the Benimar c282 with the back lounge and two drop down beds. Back bed can come right down. Fixed bed is wasted space in my eyes.

As things are at the moment, I don't think it wise to be swapping vehicles, unless you buy a used caravan as well as keep your Motorhome( happy wife, happy life ;-) ) . Even then maybe hang on to what you've got already. Great to hear yours is keeping it's value though. and it's not cost you anything for repairs etc. Pimp it up and get new decals, it will be like having a new van without all that extra expense. Just my opinion. Back in my younger days we had a little Monza 4 berth. for us and 't kids'. Luvved it to bits but ed to sell it as kids grew up and flew t' nest. Narr am retired wiv got moor time to enjoy it ageean, so went a bought a new 'van. We luv nippin off for trips art nar. we went to Yorkshire Caravans (Bawtry) for ours.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi Chris. We had a look around Yorkshire caravans, great place. Your opinion is greatly welcomed and thank you for helping us 👍👍❤️

[@johntray1462]

oh it was like being out looking with you

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Thanks for looking with us!!

[@michaeldawson6309]

Guys do your homework before buying a Mobilvetta. I was looking to buy one as our first motorhome from Marquis and they do look very nice. However I am glad I didn't as many people have advised poor workmanship and build quality. As such we bought a German made van from Malibu.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Big money!!

[@rocka-cb7kk]

Was that a left hand shoulder check coming of the roundabout?🏍😉😂

Chris Sloanes has reviewed his Kea elsewhere on KZbin.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Thanks 🤩

[@phil342]

Used Motor home prices are falling imo, plus new price increases are a result of higher production costs and inflation, so less value for money. We are on our 3rd MH. Number 1 and 2 lost no money (inflation aside) but the current vehicle is probably losing £7 k per year over the last 3 years, consider if you sell and don’t buy another it’s ok but if you sell and buy, the money to change has increased

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hello. Thanks does watching, this is great info. Hope to see you on the road 👍

[@susankinloch1675]

The hab check cost

[@Martin37vg]

Paid 33K for 6 year old van sold it 7 yaers later after putting another 30 000 miles on it for £36k Only problem is to get equiverlent spec 6 year old van is that I need £80K .

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

😂😂 hi. Yes this is what the Sales guy was telling us. Cracking sale price for you there 👍👍

[@Davidb4259]

Was the damp OK where the lino was torn?

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

They didn’t mention it 😂😂😂

[@muddymarvellous]

Yes but the cost to change is the true cost of Depreciation

[@michaeldawson6309]

Very true. We bought a Malibu van in 2019 new for £56K now there £80K+ I am sure we would get £56K now for ours with 8K on the clock but the cost to swap would be over 20K for something that would look no different :-)

[@startaylor123]

😱A main stealer has anything for 20 - 30% proft in a van... new or indeed used!! Therfore I would predict a much lower price from them to purchase your van without a PX 😢😏 On the other hand selling privately will narrow their insult considerably 👍🍾👍
