Has anyone else experienced problems with their Fleetwood Caravan?

I have had the floor injected, damp treatment to the front, kitchen and back and also I have had to replace the oven.

I've still not really finished as the cushions need repairing and also the carpet could do with replacing.

Maybe I just got a bad one or is this systematic of a caravan which is 10 years old or a just because its a Fleetwood one? Starting to wish I had bought a new one on finance now and avoided all these issues.

unusual mate as fleetwoods are well built, what year is your colchester as if it is new shape post 99 there was build issues as that was during the adria takeover

mine is 97 and is mint

Mine is a 1999 Fleetwood, dont get me wrong now that everything is virtually done I'm loving it again.

I've finished off with a new oven anyway after not being able to find a door for the original which had smashed, but funnily enough I hardly use it, I bought a pizza oven from Maplin for £15 and I just plug it in and it cooks anything.

I got the floor repaired, but its slightly spongy again but thats due to be fixed by the original repairer.

If I had bought new I dont think my car would have been able to cope with the heavier weights for a 5 berth, plus it has a large kitchen which you dont see much these days in the newer caravans.

Happy caravanning.
