Is the Motorhome Dealership Model Starting to Fail?
M
29:50Mark StreetGUEST
Well, I'd like to think that it's gonna stabilize a little bit because it can't keep on going up in price because you'll get to a stage where nobody will be able to afford to buy these things.
M
29:59Mark StreetGUEST
Um, Sunlight have done very well over the last couple of years based on good pricing.
M
30:05Mark StreetGUEST
Um, if we look at what we've got at the show today, you can pick up a Sunlight Cliff for as low as 60, £62,000, which I think for a premium German-built product-
M
31:20Mark StreetGUEST
Um, that's because they've decided to use the agency model and strip out the dealer.
M
31:26Mark StreetGUEST
Whilst that sounds like a great development, I have concerns as to how they'll be able to look after their customers, um, from a warranty perspective, also a customer service perspective.

i don't know if i see it in the footage necessarily but in the correspondence i see um You know, a real openness to evolution, you know, and to change.

HE MAKES ALL THINGS NEW- Mark Steet

10:18Mark StreetGUEST
And so I just kinda, I, I would hear about the love of Jesus and how He died for us so that we could be forgiven, and that's a key word with me, is forgiveness, because I grew up in a, in a home that there was not forgiveness.
M
10:37Mark StreetGUEST
And so again, that's where I would, I would see something and I was like, "Okay, you're...
M
10:43Mark StreetGUEST
The people around me are telling me about Jesus, but they're not mentioning anything about forgiveness." And I was like, "Because you don't forgive."
M
11:43Mark StreetGUEST
And when I, when I say I went into this world, I went into it and it shaped me.
M
11:52Mark StreetGUEST
Uh, basically when I was 23, and I had been living in the situation I was, and my mom and dad got a divorce, I was in college and I came to visit my father.
Can You Power a Motorhome with a Portable Power Bank?

M
15:01Mark StreetGUEST
Now, the typical ones you'll find in motorhomes are AC, and the new ones may be the A.
M
15:07Mark StreetGUEST
The difference is, is in modern electrics, there's a certain amount of DC that's injected into the system, and there are certain RCDs that won't work if that DC voltage is present, and that's the AC type.
M
15:19Mark StreetGUEST
So the A type are rated to work with a small amount of DC in the system as well.
