Hi

Anyone out there got a cristalll caravan, We had a look at them in preston last week and we were very inpressed, we are going up to carnforth today. The size of the single beds and bunkbeds was great.

Its the Samoa 490 EB with the fixed twin beds with the proper mattresses that we are intrested in.

Anyone any experience or no of anyone with one

I am about to purchase a Cristall Sprint 390TK and would be interested to know what problems chainring had with his.

We have only used the caravan once.

The shower leaked into the wardrobe and blew the 240V system.  Impossible to make a long term fix.

Cracked window.

Poor hob quality, only used it once and grommits melted.

Toilet flush failed after only 3 or 4 uses.

Front box lock fell apart

To Chainring,

Where did you purchase your cristall from?

Hi  Wardy,

We are looking at TEC's and Cristall and wondered if you bought one in the end, and if you did which model and any problems that you may have had.

To Knurse,

Sorry can not disclose until our legal dealings have been finalised.  Hopefully it will be over in a few weeks then we will let you know.

Hi justcards

We have not bought our caravan vet as we have to buy a heavier car , we thought our car would be alright but seems not.

We are looking at the bailey pagent bordeaux, still like the look of the cristall's and oh dear all the new models are coming out now .

We hope to get the car soon then the caravan ready for easter 06

Do you have a van?

Hi Wardy,

We are in the same position as you , the more we look the harder it gets to choose.Spent yesterday deciding between a TEC sorted out extras etc and price then looked and liked an Adria but dealer not too helpful. Saw a Hobby but decided not for us, then wondered about a Hymer Nova which may be too heavy. Could not fit in Cristalls so went home tired. Planning to go to The Lawns at Hull on 6/7/8th Sept. hopefully to make a decision.
