Returning faulty Caravan

[RogerL]

Zero manufacturers warranty maybe (although I do own an item from a manufacturer who gave a 20 year warranty on their products, I believe that they have dropped it to 10 years now). There may still be a warranty from the dealer.

CRA definitely applies as any item sold, regardless of age, must be fit for purpose, of satisfactory quality etc.

It's unlikely that any dealer would give a warranty on a 22-year old caravan

I was looking at Tilley hats a couple of weeks ago. Very nice, and no doubt top quality, but £75 plus for a hat .
If Tilley made caravans they'd be half a million quid each.

The replacement I was supplied with was £95 rrp. I had free choice throughout the range.

Mine is about 15 year and not wearing out yet.
Mine you no elephants here to eat them as one owner claimed a replacement for.

They are incredibly hard wearing and durable. I reckon mine was used most days.

To me this seams like buyers remorse brought an old used caravan, used it for 6 months and now decide careening is not for them.

Caravanning not for them? She spent the whole of the year before touring around the UK in her older van. She's owned various caravans and given the choice would probably live in it all year round so very presumptuous of you.

If a manufacturer refuses a warranty claim, can the consumer take the manufacturer to court with a hope of winning? I think the area where this has happened is with car manufacturers and then it was nothing to do with a warranty claim i.e emissions.

However in this case it is NOTHING to do with the manufacturer so totally irrelevant and as per Hutch's post under CRA 2015 the supplier has remedied the issue. I would also think that taking into account the cost of a 2002 caravan and the chances of winning in a small claims court being about zero, it could be an expensive exercise?
