Elddis delays

Remember the days when caravans didn’t have fridges and cool boxes didn't exist? We managed.

Don`t forget the Gas Lights!

Well finally contacted Elddis by phone. Good news and bad news. Good news is Elddis have given us a Vin number for our van.

The bad news it’s been knocked back even further to 30th September. 
I give up. No caravanning this season.

You must be a very patient customer. I would have cancelled order and gone elsewhere months ago. 

Really don’t want to add to anyone’s woes but, we had seven caravans during our long touring time, quite happy with all of them and very happy with most.. except the Elddis we bought from new. Nothing but problems, one after the other. We sold it after 9 months and would never have another Elddis. I know that various other makes of vans can also have problems but these were dreadful. If I had been waiting this long I would make ‘time of the essence’ then I would cancel, get my deposit back and buy a good available second hand van. We have all lost last years holidays I wouldn’t want to waste this season as well, time is precious and life too short.

I'd cancel the order. Whilst the length of time you are now being quoted is not unusual for some caravans it is longer than you reasonably expected and could still move. You will not be able to enjoy a summer in your new van so why pay for the expense of one.

I'm with the others, cancel and walk away.

Elddis are playing folk for suckers and, knowing there's someone out there to buy it, can you imagine how they might be throwing the vans together?

I agree with your post  as we had the same when we had our one and never again elddis i would also cancel

We bought an Elddis Affinity 550 in 2016. This was to be our retirement caravan so we checked and double checked all the information to ensure we were making a safe purchase. The 10 year damp ingress warranty did it for us as we wanted peace of mind when spending our hard-earned cash.

That caravan cased us major problems with damp and poor quality of design and workmanship! These were fixed under warranty but the stress it all caused us was excessive. We put up with this for 2 years before trading it in at a substantial loss.

We now have a German caravan which is in a different league.  We would never again buy an Elddis no matter what assurances they offered.  I would agree with the above comments - cancel and walk away.

But if, as suggested by some on here, you cancel and walk away and go elsewhere you will be right at the back of the queue again and probably be waiting even longer, unless you go for a second hand caravan.
