We had the same problem with them as well. We tried to contact them about a problem with our Cabanon Jupiter but received no responce after countless phone calls and e-mails. Frustrated, sent them the same e-mail for a week asking for a responce. Finally got a reply quite bluntly saying to contact our local dealer. They wont be winning any awards for customer service.

Cabanon UK are absolutely atrocious; I would vote with your feet.

Forest Camping, for example, were extremely helpful and deal directly with Cabanon France because CGI are so useless.

I wonder why Cabanon and Trigano are so rubbish with customer service, whereas Raclet, Sunncamp, Pennine/Conway etc. seem to take their responsibilities seriously?

We found that Don Valley in Doncaster are very helpful, they also deal direct with France, we enquired about the middle extension for our Saturn, the price put us off we thought over £400 for an extra 1 and a half metres was a little to much to bear.  The extra space would have been nice but we can manage as there is only 4 of us and a dog!

Off to France next Tuesday for our 1st overseas trip, can't wait.

We go to Don Valley quite a lot,yes they are very good and helpful.All these extra's are not cheap.Have you shopped around for a better price,I know they can vary from dealer to dealer.
