Bulletguy Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 fred22 - 2018-12-01 4:39 PM Sorry I don't know how to post a link The entries do not appear to have reference numbers Juxt do what I did Put in a general search in e-bay for motorhomes and they come up The country of origine is shown as Italy but when you click on it the advert I get what appears to be an advert for childrens clothes Reference numbers are on every ad Fred and tho admittedly small print, are easy to find. Scroll down to the section just below main photos where the tabs "description" and "postage and payments".....then look directly across to the right side of page where you will see eBay item number:123512717220 Just copy and paste the number/s of what you're looking at.

fred22 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 eBay item number:332917245665 Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing. Finally found a number and the ads behave different to as before in that more info is available. Have you tried making a general search in e-bay and see what you find?

Yes Fred as i regularly use ebay and AutoTrader as i've been looking for another van. Very rarely come across a mh or campervan advertised outside UK but the odd one or two that are give more than enough info to verify it as a genuine sale. Anything a bit 'dodgy' is easy to spot.

It comes in handy now - so what difference will Brexit make? Apart from making it more costly when we need to trade with the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletguy Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Whilst there is undoubtedly some junk on ebay there are some real bargains. During my time away this year my shower hose snapped off where it couples into the mixer tap. No problem as fortunately both ends are the same thread so i just took the shower head off and screwed that end to the mixers. I thought i'd probably be able to source a new one enroute but didn't bother until back home. Searched ebay and found this; https://tinyurl.com/y9x8e35k Given the amazingly cheap price i was sceptical about the "stainless steel" description but thought, 'what the heck', for that price it's worth a go! Arrived three days after ordering and sure enough it's exactly as described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
