You can buy a delam kit from ebay which will repair 1sq m, for about £25 . This kit is only suitable for doing the repair from inside the caravan, not undernerath. You can watch repairs on youtube, if you leave the carpets in the van all the time, then cutting and sticking down the vinyl after the repair will be much cheaper.
So, £25 for the kit and £100 labour for a Mobile person to do it, will sav you £400.

IMHO the only way to wake up the industry is to use Sale of Goods Act or Consumer Rights Act 2015 to its best advantage. Both are very much on the consumer's side.
We recently rejected a caravan and the rejection has been accepted and a refund is being processed however it took a lot of persistence by myself.

I cannot think of another industry that can consistently turn out shoddy goods, and be able to shrug off complaints and poor reviews with such ease and impunity.

If your new car leaked, the seats collapsed or the electrics didnt work after six months, you wouldnt stand for the dealer telling you 'nuffin to do with me mister....best get onto Mercedes or Ford' or whoever.

Pound for pound, caravans must be the most expensive but habitually shoddy consumer goods you can lay your hands on.

IF someone could make a van and GUARANTEE there would be no body leakage or delam for 10 years, or they pick up the bill come what may, they would clean up. As i am sure the huge sales would more than compensate for additional repair work pro rata they would cop for.

No manufacturer can gaurantee that their products won't go faulty in a given time. They can however guarantee to repair any faults that occur in that given time & they could also guarantee any faults would be repaired within a given short time frame.
