Well, axshully Parksy, it's not intentional.
I do have a profound distrust of the caravan 'trade' I consider most dealers to be little more than thieves who callously sell tat to unsuspecting families, for whom the purchase price represents a significant sum.
I remember, over 20 years ago, talking with the owner of a large dealership in the Midlands (Shakespeare country, but no names)
This was the original founder of the firm - then an elderly man who was semi retired from the business that was being run by his sons.
We had a discussion about UK vans (they also sold Adria) and he freely admitted that (in his own words) "They all leak"
That, presumably, was why every single secondhand van in his display (99% of them UK vans) had their doors wide open. The charitable thing would have been to assume that they were facilitating viewing of the stock - but the musty smells emanating from most of them made one think that the real reason they were open was to try and dissipate the stink of damp
The point is - he knew they were damp, even freely admitting it to me, yet they still happily sold them to young families who could not afford to be saddled with them!
Yet, the image presented by that company was (and, I think, still is) that of an entirely reputable dealership who were extremely anxious to see their customers become friends of the family
Forget all the smarmy courtesy and bogus goodwill - these people are sharks who would rip off your arms and legs to make a sale.
Not that I believe the sellers of German vans are any more ethical - the entire 'industry' is founded on deceit and falsehood - it's just that German vans really *are* less prone to damp, and represent a better bet for families without endless wads of cash to keep throwing at their servile hand-rubbing local dealers.
So, if I seem a trifle irate - it's not aimed at the buyers - but at those who make and sell these cullender's on wheels.
