We own a Unicorn 3 Vigo that we got in December. Read the review of a Unicorn 3 Valencia with interest in the January edition. Whilst it is clear that the magazine must not offend the manufactures too much or there will be a loss of advertising revenue, it was a bit pathetic how unchallenging that review was. Our Vigo is a nice, comfortable and well built 'van with a very good level of equipment but it has design faults. It has the same front end as the Valencia. It review showed photos of the van sat in a field but I would doubt if the reviewer spent more than half an hour in it. Water was not connected up or the awkwardness of the tap in the kitchen would have been mentioned. There was no discussion of the redesign of the front nearside nor of the moving of the external gas point. The reviewers (for PRACTICAL caravan) can't have put up an awning, at least not a porch awning since that won't fit without blocking the front window. No mention was made of the delay in production of all the single axle Unicorn 3s with doors at the front end of the van due to essential redesigning work or that the model tested was not what would be in the showrooms later.
I used to buy and read the magazine regularly, but this review has been so superficial and obsequious to Bailey and so useless to potential buyers, that I never will buy another copy.
