Part/X for new.

Hi,

If you part /X your existing motorhome for a new one, what is the norm for leaving stuff in/or on the van.

Eg Gas bottle, hook up lead, etc, etc.

If your carrying on motorhoming surely you will need all leads etc.

If you’ve already arranged a P/X then I’d suggest you check what’s been agreed in the contract.

 

I’ve not P/Xed a motorhome. However, if I did, I’d have expected a dealer like any other buyer to expect fixtures and fittings to be included unless expressly specified (eg bike rack, satellite dish), but other items to be removed unless expressly specified. I’d include the EHU lead in the latter category. Personally, I’d consider a connected gas bottle to be a fixture.

 

Ultimately, if you’ve not yet agreed a P/X then everything is negotiable.

Remove all non-fixtures, gas bottles, EHU cable, water hose, etc..

They will have no impact on P/ex offered.

Also gives subsequent buyer room to negotiate with dealer to include with deal

Just done a deal and I left on the Fiamma awning and bike rack and towbar as I was getting a good deal on my new van including these. Things like leaving gas bottles and or battery are depndant on whats being supplied as in the case of the electric lead. I left my old battery on as it was 3years old and the dealer put a good one on our new van. Gas bottles are not usually supplied so I keep them. I took off the headlight protectors and mirror guard as they were not part of the deal. The electric lead is a safety issue I think and I kept my old one for home use and dealers usually put one in for the H&S reasons. Hope this helps. we got a great P/X deal on our olld van so very pleased so far.

I believe a new van has to be supplied with a new hook up lead. Even used vans are often supplied with a new lead (that's how I've got three leads) and my last dealer said he was not allowed to take my old lead as they couldn't guarantee its safety to new buyers.

When we px'd ours for a new van nrecently, the dealer even suggested removing the TV, after we'd agreed the price (probably for the reasons given by flicka

We have done it three time PX ours for new, the accessories we had fitted did not make any difference to the trade in as the dealer would have to warranty any extra items.
