I'm coming to the conclusion that the best way to buy a used RV is by private purchase, and not from a dealer. The only place I know of to do this is MMM magazine who routinely have 20 or more private classifieds per issue. Is there any where else I should be looking?

Hi Damann,

Do a search on eBay and then do what I do. Contact direct, go and see the vehicle and then do the deal off eBay. If you can pay using a Visa card it saved my bacon on my previous MH purchase.

You can of course search the internet for RV in the UK and suprisingly will get a lot of responses.

Now where is that piece of string, I'll just measure it Razz

In theory it needs to be 30 feet or less, one or two slideouts, permanent island bed, A-class but low profile will do, year 2000 or newer. Diesel or LPG, but preferably not petrol only. Dinette layout would be nice.

It's then a matter of seeing what the prices are for machines in that group.

Something like this perhaps? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4651466521&rd=1&s spagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

OK so you'd have to pay for the LPG conversion but think of the savings buying direct from the States.
The Mirada is on the "approved" list too for what that's worth.

Just a thought..........

Hi DaMann

Just put a search in for American Motorhome/RV etc on any Search Engine and you'll get quite a few.

On the other hand you can always try my website. My RV might not be quite what you are looking for as it is petrol (but can be converted to LPG) and is slightly older than you specify, but hey, you gotta start somewhere.

RVman ...all he needed to do was to click on the WWW link on the bottom of your previous post under your previous ID or, indeed under your new one.
Now if you were to subscribe to this brill site instead of setting up another ID you could post indefinitely as well as put up an advert for your Mirada Wink .......just an observation Cool
