I have just bought a new 2026 Elddis Crusader Mistral - in defiance of my 80th birthday!

I have gone over it with a fine tooth comb and I must say that the Hymer link and financial input seems,at last, to have made a qualitative difference.
Everything seems to have been very solidly (no pun intended!) put together. Sealant has been immaculately applied, fittings well finished, exterior very nicely finished too, one piece wallboard instead of taped seams inside and the old models' (stupid) gas locker door has been redesigned and now employs a "pantograph" door- which, initially, takes a bit of getting used to but works well.

I had been reading about Hymer's intervention in QA systems, improvement in customer service policies ...(much needed !!) and delivery dates to dealers.

My first impressions are that it has been effective.
Naive?
I hope not.
Will keep you posted.

Congratulations on your purchase and well done for considering age to just be a number. After a woeful experience with a 2018 Elddis, I swore never again. However would like to hear better news about them. Do keep us posted

It’s good to hear that Hymer input has led to a discernible improvement in visible quality, hopefully it has filtered down into other areas too. The locker door improvement being one. Good luck with the new caravan.

I hope all goes well with your new caravan and that they have improved. But having bought 2 in past years and both had panels crack and leak at 2 years old,we vowed no ever to touch them again and have stayed with trouble free Swifts.
