longtemps Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 “ European-built cars imported to the UK from 2021 are set to become around £1,500 more expensive after the government confirmed that these vehicles would be subject to a 10 per cent tariff from 1 January.” I assume the above will apply in some form or other to new MH’s produced within the EU. In the short term this will probably give a boost to dealers with any unsold but delivered stock to sell, whilst in the longer term it should boost home manufacturers. Either way, if your in the market for new I think ASAP would be a good time to buy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 'home manufacturers' can first learn how to build better quality vans that don't leak and fall apart within the first 12-months of ownership then you might have something there.

weldted Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 It’s not just UK built vans that fall to bits, having spent £85000 on a new Burstner in 2019 I am disappointed with the poor standard of build haven’t been able to use it much but refitting bits that break or come loose is a joke.

Unlike Brits Germans won't stand for second best though. I remember being parked up next to a German couple in an older Hymer who told me they'd actually traded down from a newer model Hymer after being disappointed with the build finish. When you spend £85k only to end up with a self build DIY moho....it's time to pack it in or invest in a property instead! I've just been watching YT clips of a guy who bought an old ex-Army DAF truck and fitted it out himself for a fraction of that amount. Lives in it fulltime and used it for serious 'off grid' overland expeditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
