It pays to shop around

· Posted: 10.05.2018 · #1

One of our interior door hinges broke at the weekend and I went on line to source a new one tonight, after a short search I found the one I was looking for on ebay but when I saw the price Rob and sues quote came to mind, a Caravan dealer again

Anyway to make a long story short I bought 4 from Ram Interiors in Oranmore for €3.94 including postage for the 4 of them.

When looking for hardware leave out the Motorhome/camper and caravan, out of your search to start with.

I believe when a tradesman, or similar come to the house to put in a quote for a job, the presence of a motorhome on the drive seems to inflate prices. Same thing as looking for moho related items.

No, not robbery in the past ot was called CV tax. and now it has transferred to Motorhomes and Camper Van sand boats it is applied to anything remotely connected with Leasure vehicles .and yes applies to any work on your car or house if any of the above are seen on your property. ( CV tax in case you did not know is that extra amount added to all things CaraVan )
