TheEscapist Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hello everyone Sadly, after many months of design, and thanks to those who have helped on the forum, but the Carthago Liner for Two is for sale at Chelston Motorhomes. Contact Wayne Kavanagh, MD, if you are interested in buying a very top end fully-equipped 7.8m rear lounge home - aircon with auto climate, generator, 4 x solar panels and much more. Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinM50 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If you've spent "many months" designing the perfect motorhome, why are you selling it so soon after delivery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 This is explained in Paul’s posting of 10 June 2019 3:27 PM in this other forum thread https://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Chelston-Motorhomes/51632/121/#M609204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billggski Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 You could buy it on credit... only £227,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billggski Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 .......and for that you get one year's warranty! Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Chelston Motorhomes normal policy when selling used motorhomes is to provide 1 year base-vehicle and habitation warranties, 6 months road-tax and (where appropriate) a 1 year MOT-test duration. This is irrespective of the make/model/type/age of the motorhome or its cost. A 2019 Carthago won’t need an MOT certificate, and its Iveco (in this instance) base-vehicle and Carthago habitation and watertightness warranties should still be operative.

Solwaybuggier Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 It is shown as "Sold" already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Am I missing something, but I can’t find any reference to this motorhome on the Chelston Motorhomes website? There is an advert for a CARTHAGO LINER FOR TWO I 53 Sold for £167,855 OTR but that was the Fiat Ducato-based motorhome that Paul had initially (and Chelston took back) not the IVECO-BASED Carthago Liner for Two that Paul subsequently acquired and is referring to in the first posting on this thread.

No, I think it’s my mistake - I forgot there were 2 Liner for 2s involved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monique.hubrechtsgm Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I contacted Carthago about this. Paul is a typical blind folded customer who is advised by blind folded Chelston dealer. Just about pound sterling. Very sad reading typical UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monique.hubrechtsgm Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 aandy Read Paul comments. And they sell them anyway to customers who like the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandy Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 monique.hubrechts@gm - 2019-06-15 6:14 PM aandy Read Paul comments. And they sell them anyway to customers who like the options. To be fair to Chelston, all they did was sell Paul a motorhome with the extras that he had specified. When it became apparent that Paul's specification rendered the vehicle unsuitable, they refunded his money in full. In my view that is to their credit, and identifies them as a dealer with whom I would be very happy to do business. However, what prompted my question to you was your assertion that what you described as a sad story was "typical UK", which suggested to me that perhaps you, too, had had unsatisfactory dealings with UK businesses.
