Elddis Odyssey roof crack

[Tom101]

I have a 2008 Elddis Odyssey caravan which is still under warranty. A crack about two inches long has appeared on the roof section of the one piece rear plastic panel. The crack which looks to me to be a stress fractue, occurs at the nearside corner of the rollover from the roof to the side panel.
I would appreciate the views of any member who has experienced a similar problem.
Thanks
Tom

theres a thread on this on the "other" forum - caravan talk. I checked mine and it was OK - so far?

There are a lot of threads on several caravaning websites regarding stress fractures.many attributed to Bailey caravans,but this fault is down to the panel manufactors who supplied many caravan makers . Your first stop is your dealer who should put in a warrantee claim to Elddis.Bailey's sollution was to replace the defective panel & I would think that would be the Elddis solution also.
You also have protection in the form of the sales protection act if you have any problems getting your claim acknowledged

Its a very serious issue and needs a replacement panel; accept absolutly nothing less.
