I have a lightly used Coachman VIP 575 2020 vintage. We bought it new and until last year have been very pleased with it. However, on our last trip in September 2023 the electric heating and hot water system stated to trip the internal electric supply. The Alde system works fine on gas, but our maintainer, after speaking with Alde technicians, advises that both electric heating elements are faulty.
This will necessitate the full removal of the 3020 system main unit from the caravan and be shipped to Alde for complete rebuild! Clearly this is going to be a very expensive repair on a unit that started to fail at just over 3 years old.
Further, our fitted fridge has a blockage in the matrix requiring a full replacement at whatever cost that may be.
So my story is one of disappointment in that two of the major facilities in relatively recent caravan have totally failed and require very expensive repairs. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced similar disappointments?
