That's as maybe - but Coachman are responsible for the dealers they appoint and sending vans out with faults to the dealers in the first place is not a good move.

Not strictly true. Coachman have to, by law sell their product to any business who applies for an account and meets credit criteria etc.

It is the purchasers responsibility to select where they shop, the manufacturers are not allowed to restrict supply to dealers.

At this point I think that I should say some good things about my Coachman VIP

Basically it is a very high spec high end caravan - aimed at the mature end of the market - most owners will be 55+ and usually just 2 people.

Whilst almost 25 ft long it is not for a family - 50% of it's length is a bedroom and bathroom - the rest is a luxury living space for 2 people

I am now on my second short trip in it and am beginning to really enjoy the van - and so I should for the price.

To bring the discussion back to my first post - is it worth the high price and why should there be so many little issues with it.

I accept that many people don't want a new van - my discussion is for people who do want one or have bought one.

A box to sleep in at the end of the day is still that matter how much or little it has cost the owner.

Maybe that is how you view your £300 caravan. I presume you are also happy to live in a run down old flat, after all its just a place to sleep in.

Personally these days I like my creature comforts. As an example, at home my central heating is active 365 days a year, and will always keep the house at a pleasant temperature. Now I have the same in my caravan. Its great to wake up on a cold morning to a warm caravan, with the water heater ready to provide enough hot water for a decent shower.
