    What do you want Practical Caravan to test?

    Parksy, Like the Idea of getting the criteria, I think the reason I would like to see some system of review is because of the awards. I will give an example. I bought a Nice Bailey ranger 620 /6 from a "dealer of the year". Anyway during the prurchase everything was great , handover was good...

    What do you want Practical Caravan to test?

    So Nigel, what do you think ? would you be prepared to put a star rating in dealer surveys , based on sales, after sales, customer service ? I think it will be a case of biting the hand that feeds you maybe? I am not sure you actually have to print any details of why the score is lower than...

    In praise of CC Wardens

    Wiliam, I will second that. Just been to Beechwood & Morton & I can tell you the sites were kept imaculate. Must say that at Beechwood the Wardens do seem stretched, but still remain polite and do a great Job.

    Help please!!

    Steve, Are you a memeber of one of the clubs ? They have free legal advise & I think you should get some. I would have thought they have some sort of duty of care to ensure they are selling the item as described. Not sure about the holiday but I would have thought you could make a claim for the...

    X Trail strange problem

    Yes, and al is well (except for the wiring). Just found out they also took a bag out of the boot and did not put it back , so we have to go over again now and pick it up. Think I will write a letter of complaint to the fitting company.
