Erm,is what a scam? Are you thinking about buying from them? If so,what might you buy?

Jim’s Buyers Guide on here is very good if you are buying a motorhome

Looks genuine on companies house.
Been around since 2018 according to their details.
They've had a lot of people changes.

UK company showing prices in Euros. AND the prices seem too good to be true?

Lot of the pictures seem to be left hand drive.

The photos of MHs on their website all seem to be taken in different places, which seems odd.

If you are serious about a specific MH call them and arrange to go and see it at their premises.


If you can't visit them I suggest buying something from this site before any further dealings with them.

For those of us that are paid up members there is a list in the Resources section, of all 437 known dealers of Motorhomes in the UK.

The list is maintained by the members of Motorhome Fun

Lets just say that GT-Motorhomes is not on the list.

Welcome to the fun house.

It's a scam ... unfortunately there's a lot of them around.

If you really want to get a LOT of help and advice to avoid scams and have funsters give anything you're interested a good ogle (digitally) on here along with good info to save you making a mistake then it would be wise to become a subscriber and you can access the resources section which includes the Buyer's Guide (not available to non-subscribers despite the link above).

Unaware of a dealer by that name however the Google view above from Karl Grommet does tie back to this company.


edit : oooops just as TheBig1 pointed out above!

Looks like the scammers are camping on a legitimate companies name/number.

There was another one just like this recently.

If its Yorkshire based why are the vans priced up in euros?
Because it's being advertised in Ireland where the OP lives? ( e.g. eBay Ireland?).

Also as a subscriber you can look at the classified where funsters advertise their vans.

Yes it's a scam.

None of the motorhomes have been built for the UK market and none of the images are from the UK either... Trigano don't even sell the Chausson sister brand Challenger in this country.

The site introduction seems to have been put through Microsoft Translator & as others have noted the prices are in Euro's.

NOT to be confused with GT Leisure Parts based in Barnsley.

Move away... rapidly!

Been watching a youtube channel
.
They bought a mini digger from an irish company. Everything checked out . Ie address, registered company , reviews.
It was a scam .
Worth watching to see how they operate and cover their tracks. All photos are genuine diggers that have been up for auction legitimately. Photos cropped and re used on the scam site.

If you look on facebook marketplace, there are many MH's and caravans for sale at silly prices. Often with the same description for different vehicles.
They usually hijack an account which may be a long way from where they say the vans are. And there are usually lots of items for sale under the same user.
