    Came across a few uk secondhand motorhome sites with good value used motorhomes. When you check business address its a private house.No reviews if you Google business name.Anyone else look at these sites.

    These scams are well known with fake photos and false business profiles. A Google search of the pictures will tell you a lot. Can you post an example or two of what you are looking at?

    If you google (uk used motorhomes) the sites i am talking about always seem to be first up with really good prices.

    Dont understand why Watchdog UK or other tv programmes have not outed them

    Or why there are no reviews.

    Yes, these are very common. If you reverse image search the motorhome you'll usually see where it originated. If a motorhome is much cheaper than on other sites, it's very likely a scam.

    100% scam.

    It's not like these guys just make mistakes and don't realise how much the motorhomes are worth. They know. They hope people think they don't realise and send them deposits…

    When you google used uk… the first few seem legit. To me the first telltale is on a legit site the photos are all take in the same yard in much the same area. On the fake sites they use a name similar or the same as a legit business and scrape photos from all of over the web. So the background is always different
