Where to buy used RV parts

Tracking down used recreational vehicle (RV) parts in the UK can be a challenge. Although RVs, known as motorhomes in Britain, are more prevalent in America, there are still thousands of motorhomes on the roads of Britain. Finding parts requires effort, but there are many online stores based in both the UK and US selling used RV parts and RV furniture.

Garages and shops

Independent garages and shops There are very few service garages or shops in Britain which specialise in RV parts.
Search your telephone directory and online to try to find caravan parts garages and shops, which are your best bet when looking to find specific used parts for your RV.
You should also try calling regular car garages, mechanics and car parts. Moreover, you can also call accessory stores in your local area to see if they are able to sell you any used RV parts or provide you with more information. Contacting dealers direct Although it is uncommon in the UK, you might be able to contact the makers of your RV and ask them to send you new or used repair parts, so you can perform your own repairs. Visit the website of your RV manufacturer to see if they have an online Web presence in the UK or if they are willing to ship you parts from the United States.

Online shops

Capitalising on the American market RVs are incredibly popular modes of transport and accommodation in the United States.
As a result, there are a great number of websites dedicated to selling used and new RV parts to consumers. Place an order through one of these websites, but be aware that you may suffer from a poor exchange rate to America, and hence have to pay an excess credit or debit card fee, a large post and packaging bill as well.

Auction websites Visit online auction websites, such as Ebay.co.uk, to see if you can track down the used parts you need for your RV.
