I have followed the other posts regarding panel cracks in Avondale and Bailey vans. My parents have an Avondale Osprey which they bought new in April 2004. This has developed cracks at Christmas time in the front panel below the front lights. Unfortunately Avondale's warranty excludes panel cracks after one year and are refusing to honour any remedial work. Interestingly enough there is a 5 year water ingress cover!!! Having spoke to Trading Standards and the CC to ascertain this is not normal they have been advised to pursue the HP company under the Supply of Goods (Implied Terms) Act 1973.
So they now wait, having given a reasonable deadline for the repair to be made. Isn't it a shame that manufacturers don't do the sensible thing but make things get nasty. It was also disappointing to note that the dealer gave the wrong advice as to the remedy. Interestingly enough they acknowledged problems with the Dart and Land Ranger models
