Damage to my Motorhome in Storage

[Popeye]

I was paying just over £1000 per year down at Bosham, and they had to move my van to allow others in or out. It was extremely secure from a theft point of view but mine sustained damage in the form of the occasional small dent and scratch, and that is why I bought a house with enough room to store half a dozen Motor homes.

I kept reading on here how you guys were winterising and modifying and beautifying your MoHo's that I just had to have it at home.

Now it's here it gets ignored just as much as it did when it was there.

I'm intrigued why do manufactures not have just one standard for both right and LH headlights if what you say is correct. Your version sounds a bit suspect to me.........

No - it is correct. The beam extension along the kerb is an aid to the driver. The MoT is concerned with ensuring the lights don't dazzle oncoming traffic and do provide adequate illumination for the driver.

Our Moho has stick on deflectors and received an advisory. Lens protection covers are something totally different and as has been said at that price I too would be upset.
So if someone un bolts a mirror or a cycle rack would the site owners still not be bothered I wonder and if so I then wonder why you keep it there at such a high cost? Don't they have CCTV?

if it was a fail point you wouldn't get an advisory.
Isn't something borderline which may be a fail next year.

I get an annual advisory telling me I have type approved seatbelts in the RV.

Some later vans do have none biased headlamps.
As said, the kick up is to project light along the kerb to aid driving.
Obviously driving on the right would see the beam extending into oncoming traffic and not the kerb.
Beam converters/deflectors are actually beam blockers

There is a fella at Summercourt storing M/H, Caravans, Boats etc, he charges £1 a day, so £364 per annum, can't believe some of the prices you fellas are quoting.
Doesn't effect me, ours is at home, can't even see from the road

€170 per year ... never any problems

Our insurance was quite a lot cheaper when we said it was stored at a casoa registered site their stats must indicate quite a bit lower rate of theft than on a driveway.

Were the pieces scattered afar or just on the ground below the headlight?

Yes the pieces were on the ground a couple of vans up from where ours was parked.

No consolation but I doubt it is a personal attack rather a random moron passing through.

had ours in a cassoa gold site when it was broken into and stripped, the site didn't want to know wouldn't even phone the police

I am very pleased that I don't have to use a commercial storage site!

May be the protector broke when they were trying to fit them on their van? Just a thought..........
