Hi We have a 1999 Kia Sedona Auto and find it great for towing.We have a twin axle van 3 dogs and a wheelchair. The only problem we have had is on wet field, rally most weekends so it's not always hardstanding, it not always good at pulling off. Apart from that we love it.

Hi I am saying that a dog shouldn't be taken out until it is fully vaccinated yes, all dogs should be fully vaccinated it is part of being a responsible dog owner.

Hi If you look back at previous postings you will see that Avondale have a problem with panels and according to my dealer this as been going on quite a few years. I have had the same problem my dealer had approx 10 other Avondales waitong to have panels replaced and had lost count of the ones...

Hi have a look in Sainsburys,we bought one last year for 189.99. It is mains and 12 volt, although the assistant told me it didn't work on 12 volt I insisted on having a look and he was suprised. It won't come with a 12 volt cable though, I use the one from my old TV.

Hi I wouldn't advise you to take you puppy out of your garden even if you are carrying it, some animal ailments can be airborne. Even if you let it out in the garden watch out for puddles etc if they lap from a puddle that a rat as urinated in it can pass on disease. It's not worth any risk...

Hi we had the sane problem with our Avondale, they both melted . We have had them repaced by the factory when it went in for major repairs. I don't know how long they will last. We also had a leak, we could hear a hissing noise behind the fire and discovered the water pipes had melted behind...

Hi we've collected our van today, all the jobs we have been done at the factory and not the dealer. We were very shocked when the dealer pointed out that instead of replacing the panels like they were going to do the have plastic welded them. They look good at the moment but he feels sure the...

Hi We had a problem with our rescue greyhound escaping, the other two dogs were fine. We had to put her in a dog crate and she settled fine, and when we had the awning up she would lay in it when the door was open of her own choice. It as been a gradual process and we have got to the stage...

Hi My 2004 Avondale as been returned from the manafacturer today after 7 weeks with a reinforced floor and 2 new panels. It still has quite a few thing to be done at the dealer under warranty. Im lucky my dealer has been brilliant and not quibbled over anything but ther are other on this forum...

Hi a friend of mine as just purchased a 2004 Hobby Caravan, I thought I had heard something about the width of some of these vans being illegal for towing on our roads. Is this right and is it certain models, is it likely that a 2004 model would be one of these?

Hi I posted in Sept about cracked panels in our Avondale Argente and also our floor had gone. The dealer was brilliant and argued over nothing, he as lost faith with Avondale and won't be selling them anymore. However our van went back to Avondale almost 7 weeks ago for a new floor we have not...

Hi just keeping you informed our our progress. Well there isn't any. We couldn't get the caravan back till the first week in January because of prebooked holidays. Avondale have now had our van almost seven week and we have had no contact. I have rung the dealer and he is going to chase them...

Hi I can't understand why these panels are not being repalced under warranty. We are having both front and back panels replaced in our 2004 Argente. You only have to look at this forum to know that Avondale have a problem with panels. We were told by our dealer that this as been happening since...

Hi we used to take our hamster and 3 dogs away with us, unfortunatly the hamster died of old age when we were on holiday in Norfolk one year. He escaped one night and travelled 3 rows down on the rally field. He climbed into the awning annexe where the owners grandchildren were sleeping, and...

Hi sorry that it offends people when the problems with Avondale are brought up but this is a genuine problem. We have a list as long as our arm of the faults with our 14 month old Avondale. Faults include cracked and front panels, we are having to have a complete new floor and many more faults...
