Just read on another forum that Eternitii caravans have gone into administration, what a shame for these innovative caravans, hope the company can be rescued somehow.

The owner only sold his steel business to concentrate on caravans last year. That's a real shame if true. We had a good look inside them at the Manchester show in January and i thought their price was competitive when compared to other luxury models. Hope they sort themselves out and continue.

Blimey - that's a shame if true.

Only ever seen one on the road.

Lucky escape maybe? Went to the show with intention of buying one but got cold feet.

Hopefully the administrators can keep them running.

I wonder if another manufacturer might take them on.

Yes, their website confirms it. & "The Company is not in a financial position to fulfil outstanding customer orders or refund customer deposits". I suppose its fair to say that buyers were taking as much of a risk as the company owners.

Great shame for all hurt by it and the failure of one trying to innovate.
Though I don't find it a surprise as small scale operations in caravanning build do so often fail, despite all that may be good about the product.
We felt it was not priced at sufficient a premium to cover its complexity and the small scale of the operation , relative to mainstream products.
Hope somebody buys into it for all concerned and future customers, but suspect it will not return to the market at the pricing seen so far.

Although they were not to my taste it is a great shame ... we need more choice in the marketplace and they provided something different.

Apparently they had a full order book but financial constraints and initial quality problems haven't helped.
