Hi Daz

I bought an Abbey cardinal 315 from YCOB in Mar 2004, this was based on an Aventura 315.

After only 2 months the front end started to show cracking around the front locker opening, which was repaired by YCOB. Over the summer of 2004 the cracks re-appeared together with several more above the front windows. To cut a long story short I have now had the whole of the front end replaced (under warrenty) in March 05 after leaving the van with YCOB since 29th Oct 2004. This final repair looks OK but I am keeping a close eye on it. Other than this the van tows well and the interior is of a good quality and everything works OK, as we should expect in this day and age.

Regarding cracks on GRP front panel, please see my postings in the technical section, under "Cracks in GRP front panel on Abbey 'van"
