Elddis delays

Hope you will update us with the outcome of any discussions you are able to have with any of their management staff.

We ordered a Minstral in October 2020 for Feb 21 delivery and still waiting dealer has advised a September delivery after checking Elddis online. Agree with all other comments on excuses for the delays and lack of support from customer services with failures to be proactive.

Hopefully you get this on the 14th.. 

Had a similar information given after 3 other deadlines have passed now 24th September , from a October 2020 order date . Original expected delivery date of 1st week of March , then May , June  now September .

I hope things improve. I'm planning to buy a new caravan in the next couple of months.

We’ve had our Elddis Accordo on order since October 2020 for delivery in June 2021. The last we heard from our dealer is the build could start in October/November 2021. The reason given is our Peugeot base has been delayed and other parts are delayed also due to Brexit, Covid and lack of drivers and increase in demand. Just have to be patient. At least we’re on a fixed price and the price has gone up. 

Trying to be positive thinking the summer has gone so looking forward to getting ours next year which we believe is the realistic timescale 

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your advice.
I have no intention of cancelling as it’s the van we want. Generally all makes of caravans have problems. I know of people who wouldn’t buy a Bailey. 
The seasons gone anyway. 
If I ordered  a new van from a different dealer I will go to the back of the queue. 
Anyone ordering a 2022 van today will be lucky to see this side of next August. 
As for my latest update my delivery  has been moved once again to 18th October.

I find it extremely frustrating that Elddis are advertising the 2022 models, good luck with getting them on time. I ordered a Elddis Crusader Aurora the end of August 2020 with a delivery of March/April which has been delayed time and time again. The latest date of 10th Oct 22 (yesterday) which I was told would be the final delay has come and gone and still no van. Constantly having to chase the dealer for updates as well as they are not very forthcoming with keeping me updated 😔

'The latest date of 10th Oct 22 (yesterday)'

Did you mean 10th Oct 22 or 10th Oct 21? 

Our new Swift caravan was delayed after ordering it at the NEC show last February 2020 (just before covid took hold in the uk). We eventually picked it up at the beginning of November 2020 so were quite lucky I suppose. Fortunately the dealership & Swift honoured our original deal and provided us with the latest 2021 model at no extra cost. I would hope that other manufacturers would do the same and retain some sort of customer satisfaction during these difficult times too. The only potential drawback (as happened to us) is that the décor changed which was not as nice as the one we'd ordered IMHO. As mentioned in previous posts if we'd cancelled we'd have gone to the back of the queue again and had to swallow a substantial price increase. No point in stabbing yourself in the foot I'd say.

Deano we have had an Aurora on order from April 2021 told it would be ready on the 11th October after many date changes. I rang the dealer on the 14th Oct told its built but waiting for a locker door. Should be with them in two weeks! I had a trip up to the dealers on Sunday. Two brand new Auroras on the site so I now believe these are going to those who have shouted loudest. I have always been calm and patient every time the dealer rang to say its delayed again. 

Incidentally the finish to both the vans post PDI was shocking. Silicone on all windows was a real mess. Glue staining down the front and side main joints. I certainly wont be accepting mine if its anything like those two. 

Hi everyone my first post as a new member to the Club. Has anyone seen a 2022 Buccaneer in the wild yet? Like lots of other people we are still waiting for ours as delivery dates keep rolling by.
