I needed a few bits for the behemoth, it happens to have been built in
the same town that Just Go/Rollerteam motorhomes come from.

I found the UK dealer and after first telling me they couldn't source
the parts, eventually they found them and gave me a quote. For each
part, they quoted £xx, +20% VAT. Then the totalled it all together,
added £140 postage, 5% import charge. Then, added VAT on top again.

Also, they said it wouldn't be sent until Jan 2022.

I pointed out that they'd charged VAT twice but they just said "no we
havent". Huh?

I managed to find an Italian supplier, lower prices, they don't add VAT,
slightly better posting price (still 90 quid!), and I only have to pay
UK VAT + customs when it arrives.

Hope the parts fit...

<Snip huge expense>

'Kinell. Just Go are still bringing new vehicles over every Spring. If it can
wait I'd see if someone there fancies earning a few quid...
