I was on a Caravan Club site in 2019 and two of the old fuckers had shuffled on while in their 'vans. Chaos.

You are charged for every county you pass you. Its a fortune to haul a body back.DodgeRover wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 6:11 pm A friend was once telling me he had to do quite a few long distance recoveries a year when people pass on holiday.

Re: I seem to of done something stupid yet again
When I worked down the Continental Ferry Port in the Seventies it was a common practice to ship body-bags lying along the floor of brand-new Estoril caravans that were part of the freight manifest. Usually they were consigned by one of the motoring organisations and referred to on the manifest as "AA Cadaver".
More than once, the poor fucker's twisted P6 was on a low-loader in the next lane and his newly-widowed missus chaperoned in one of the quieter lounges on board.
I wonder if any of those caravan buyers were ever aware of the previous use of their new tourer......

Bit disrespectful putting them on the floor of a foreign caravan!

I agree, it should have been a bailey or elddis. Something British anyway.

Re: I seem to of done something stupid yet again
Returning a body from Europe in a new caravan tends to involve one made there, unfortunately.

Re: I seem to of done something stupid yet again
I have decided against buying the hearse in New Jersey mainly because the seller is getting pushy. It has failed to sell at least twice starting at 2500 and he has a buy it now of 3500 but when it came to price he said he wanted 4k. I wouldn't pay more than 2500 if I could get a decent deal on shipping. This quote from last nights email was the final nail in the coffin for the sale as how can you deal with someone who addresses one as "man" and thinks I am "reaching out to him"
Listen man you are the only person to reach out to me about this and I really do not want to part with her. But times are not the best right now and could really use the extra cash too make some things workout. For the state of the vehicle and the price this deal is unmatched. At $2700 I will be just breaking even beside the cleaning products I bought that that’s whatever. Really need her gone and you’ve shown the most interest. You are $2500 I’m at $2700 what’s an extra $200. Car is phenomenal I don’t want to sell her but I promised myself I would if I need to and I really do. Please let me know. Thank you have a great night man
Then tonight I get this.
I have someone else trying to get it for $2500 as well. Trying most for $2700 but wanted to still give you first dibs since you messaged first and it would be cooler for the car to end up in UK then just a different town. Are you still interested or should I let you be and work with the other guy? Really just need it gone at this point
Twat !
