...The one That i personally know about ,but as compared to the few Uk built LVs that seem to have problems out of the Thousands sold Each Year,against those in the UK built elsewhere,have Hymer soreted all the cracked locker doors on their Novas ?

BB, you really do look at all things German Made through rose tinted spectacles, Burstner have had many water ingress problems, look on some of the German Brand forums for a jolt back to earth. Even your beloved Carthago  (overpriced and over here, to misquote a well known wartime saying) is not without faults,   Eldiss may not be perfect, but they do produce vans at a price that most people can afford,in the UK,  and considering how many they sell, most customers are happy with their purchases.      Of all the ops problems, only one stems from Eldiss, all the others are bought in appliances some of which probably also grace your van ?

Ray, please read what i type before coming back with this type of post....

i suggested 7 makes of van to the OP....2 german, 2 french and 3 uk vans...

neither of the two german brands were Burstner or 'my beloved' Carthago.

whats the point in recommending a van that is likely to be in a different budget.....how about a Concorde or a Morello.....

my suggestions were realistic ones, in the area of a replacement Elddis....

given the choice, id take a two/three year Hymer over a new Elddis for the same money....

with all the appliances the same, why arent (say) AutoSleepers the same price as an Elddis.....rather than 50% more... and as for overpriced, you bet...almost £75k for the Burford....

...has anyone actually stuck their neck out and suggested the OP should just forget his reservations and go straight back in for another Elddis?

How much is the Merc base vehicle compared to the standard Sevel base on most

Write your comments here...Has the OP said he did not like the Elddis? only that a more reliable one? but that seems by his post because of the Bought in equipment that give the same problems what ever LV is purchased

do you really need me to help you with the maths?

 i would imagine that the AS differential of around £5k (like for like) would reflect (roughly) the relative prices of the two base vehicle choices

Crispy pancake, I'd go for another Elddis. They are great value for money and good vans. What you need is a good, local dealer.

As has been pointed out in other posts, your problems were not specifically Elddis. Whatever van you buy it's the luck of the draw. Just over a year ago myself and two friends all got new vans. The couple who bought an Autosleeper are about to sell it as they've had so many issues with it. The friends who bought an Auto Trail had also had their fair share of problems. We bought an Elddis and have had two non-Elddis related issues that were quickly sorted by the dealer. Ours has just sailed past it's first habitation with no issues. Get a good local dealer and choose the van you want. In all the years we have owned caravans and motorhomes I still believe the industry is a joke in general and a good van is pure good luck. I just love camping so much I just keep going back for more
