    WATER INGRESS IN 12 MONTH OLD CARAVAN

    I think the point is we all heavily invest in an activity we all enjoy. To have damp issues on new caravans in unacceptable. I have an issue on a 7month old Elddis. I am prepared to take civil action and gamble what I would lose selling the unit. Modern techniques and materials should...

    2012 Elddis Shamal - Leaking

    Thanks Prof. Again I agree. So one assumes the warranty conditions on the Elddis website are meant for dealers not end users (those that buy the product). As you state the contract is between the buyer of the new caravan and the selling dealer. Maybe we need to ask dealers for their terms and...

    2012 Elddis Shamal - Leaking

    I agree, it is important how it is put right. A month waiting to then be told what's wrong is not a good start. Good communication is key. Lets hope my next post is complementing Elddis on the repair and customer care (I do hope so). Rather than warning others to avoid. Sales of Goods Act...

    Has anyone else had problems? Having just spent in excess of £20K on a brand new Elddis Shamal for my husbands retirement we were absolutely shocked to find in November water literaly dripping onto the front seat. We have water marks on the roof, mould in the cupboards and stains on upolstery...

    Built In Stabiliser (Alko / Winterhoff) and Stabiliser Bar (Used together?)

    Hello again, Hubby reckons towing with built in stabiliser and his trusty bulldog bar is much better than just built in stabiliser. However, I have been told not to use both, and typically being a man he wont listen Can both be used at same time ? Thanks Em

    Hi, We have a 2009 Crusader Superstorm. Dont suppose you could post a picture. Not quite sure what you mean my crease. We certainly have lines that can be seen from the outside. We have the larger fridge on the O/S. The door is on the opposite side. Thanks

    We have a2009 Elddis Superstorm and goodness knows how but my son has broken the flexible cover that is part of one of the two grey waste outlets on the side of the cvan. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement. Happy to buy two new outlets so they match if need be. Thanks Emma

    Mikey Ours is a 2009 Crusader also. The deaer has come back and confirmed it was the wrong colour window and I can hopefully expect the new one first week in December. Would anyone know if I get 12months warranty from the date that one was fitted or is it 12months from original purchase date...

    How big a caravan 'nerd are *you* ? -;)

    Well spotted Creature. Whilst sitting in the Cinema with my father watching a 007 film I think it was the one with Robert Carlisle. The baddies had just blown up a huge gas pipeline. In one of the quieter moments my good old dad says "look at the tree trunks they are all straight, cut with a...

When picking up yesterday my husband noticed it was much darker than the two outer windows. The dealer has...

    Elddis Crusader Super Storm

    There is a slight lip which overhangs the actual door/flap. Sorry for the poor explanation but point this out to the dealer and specifically ask him.
