did you read the part where I mentioned James previously giving deposit money back out of his own pocket?...whilst you can't guarantee it won't go under, i'd be sure he'd do his best to make it so customers aren't left out of pocket. He was just an agent that would have lost his own money also due to what others in HQ did, if not for being a decent bloke, he quite easily could have left his customers in the lurch and not been extra $$$ out of pocket.
I don't know the bloke from a steak. Your probably 100% correct and many of em do go in with the right intentions and a great attitude.
As I said - I hope it works out for them and the employees, would be a great boost and good for current owners.
But theres been more than one time people have lost their packet with campers reported on the forum hasn't there?
I'm not a business person at all, but this is just how I envisage how a business would be
If people are leaving minimum deposit say a grand - this is going to strain cash flow on a starting business. If people leave $1000 deposit on a trailer that costs $20k to build that you sell for 50k+, plus bills and you have 10 customers at once and more lining up...
That's lot of coin + wages + insurance+ super+other bills + etc FWIW - I could never own a business, the stress would kill me in a week, I hate owing mates $50... Dunno how my mate Pete goes on with $70,000 to GE
I guess my trust factor is 0 these days, just with any company.. travel, auto.. There is a new story every couple of days about people who have lost the lot and are last in line to get their $ back.. Just the modern awesome world we live in
