Hello
Last week we collected our new to us 2005 Ci Cipro Garage Motorhome
As we drove it home the passenger side electric window & mirror stopped working as well as one of the rear indicator.
On the next day I also noticed that the main roof skylight was cracked & a corner missing.
So we contacted the dealer who agreed for us to take it to our local Motorhome repairer to get a quote & hopefully fix all the faults/issues (under the 3 months warranty).
They were happy with the quote provided to repair the window/mirror & indicator but didn’t accept the £900 quote to replace the heki 700x500 skylight.
The garage alighted that the high quote was due to the fact that there’s al lot labouring involved to remove the current one as it’s sealed & then found the entire roof it’s been painted with something they even weren’t sure of what it is exactly (see photos)
The garage has made me worry so much as they stated that it looks like something that is used to repair cracked shower tray & baths and if that’s the case it could be there to mask something underneath
Plus they also alighted (I didn’t notice this ) the fact the rear panel it’s swallowed in one area. Not sure what caused this either.
THEIR ADVICE WAS, SINCE I ONLY HAD IT FOR A WWEK TO TAKE IT BACK AND ASKED FOR A FULL REFUND .
Now we knew buying a 18 year Motorhome wouldn’t come in pristine conditions and it would have its own little problems etc but as this is our first van we didn’t really know either what to look out for. That’s why we decided to buy from a dealer rather then private.
Just need some advice from you more expert Motorhome owners.
ALL IN ALL WHAT WOULD YOU DO ?

- Does anyone know what the material used on the roof and why could it be applied ?
- the back panel, what caused this ?
ALL IN ALL WHAT WOULD YOU DO ?
