Hello everyone ,
I think its great to have long warranties , 5 years plus etc , this gives you the certainty that the product it good and reliable OR does it .Maybe 50% of contributors on most forums are complaining about reliability of all sorts of different products . Mainly caravan manufacturers, caravan accessories , caravan fitments . Lets just take one that has a good name but reading between the lines a poor reliability record , Powrtouch , always praised for its rapid response when something breaks , but should it really break . Its brilliant that they usually respond quickly and have a 5 year warranty but by gum do you need it ( according to contributors that is ) just the same with ( to name a few ) Bailey,Swift,Explorer , Alko,Status,Calor etc etc etc . I would much prefer a 5 year warranty that I never used thereby proving good reliability .I ask , when are the Japanesse going to start building caravans and associated equipment ? .To me its like the majority of the British manufacturers require a long warranty just to keep there seldomly used items in running order , not taking into account their poor design , poor manufacturing and poor materials . Its a good job that the majority of British industries don't get it wrong like the caravanning industry . Okay gripe over , Powrtouch was an example only . ----- STEVE .
