Motorhome dealer Peak Leisure Vehicles enters liquidation
Derbyshire-based dealership, Peak Leisure Vehicles, has gone into liquidation. The early indications are no customers have lost deposits or vehicles.
Andrew Little, from the company overseeing the liquidation process, told MMM magazine: “I can confirm that no customers or members of the public have lost deposits or vehicles as a result of the liquidation. The main casualty is an investor who had been providing significant working capital over recent months.”
Peak Leisure was once an dealer for Laika motorhomes as well as the small converter, Nu Venture.
Those who bought from Peak and have warranty issues can contact the three Laika motorhome dealers in England – Emm-Bee Motorhome in Bury, South Downs Motorhomes in Portsmouth and Camper UK in Lincoln.
Meanwhile, Debbie Hulton, partner at Nu Venture, says: “All customers are more than welcome to call us with any issues they may have regarding their Nu Venture warranty, etc.
“We will personally look after them.”
Frank Finch, the membership services director for the National Caravan Council, said dealers going under is a rare event but buyers should still be careful.
“Unfortunately, there are very few instances where customers can be assured of absolute protection when a retailer goes out of business,” he said. “Peak Leisure Vehicles was not an NCC member but, thankfully, recent instances of dealerships going out of business have been fairly rare. A franchised dealer is typically the agent for the warranty, which is ‘underwritten’ by the manufacturer. Therefore, your manufacturer warranty should still continue even if the selling dealer ceases trading.”
Buyers looking for additional reassurance should consider buying from an NCC Approved Dealer, members of which agree to comply to a code of practice.
NCC Approved Dealers are also vetted for their terms and conditions, including sales invoicing, treating customers fairly and more.
The NCC also has an Independent Dispute Resolution Scheme and all of this provides additional peace of mind for motorhome buyers.
