I've only ever had one caravan, my present Swift, and it's been faultless. Phew!
Statistically, if, say, 90% of caravans are properly made we have a nine in ten chance of getting a good'un. But for those one in ten it's an utter disaster - perhaps £20,000+ of a disaster!
People may have a point when they say caravans, being far lower volume products than cars and more reliant on hand-building, can never be as reliable as cars. Cars only became reliable when they were built by robots, and exotic hand-built cars are now bottom of the reliability league - ask any Aston Martin owner if you are lucky enough to know one.
But given that, say, everyone accepts 10% of caravans will have faults, perhaps serious ones, one thing caravan manufacturers CAN do and SHOULD do is ensure that the unfortunate buyers of these lemons are sorted as a priority. They should do this by holding their franchised dealers to account and ensuring that the dealers are motivated by the threat of losing the franchise BUT ALSO ensuring that dealers are properly paid for warranty work. If this happened dealers would be happy to accept any caravan for warranty work and we would avoid the scenario of someone having to travel to their original dealer - perhaps hundreds of miles away.
Instead of this, we see them trying to sidestep obligations, putting the buyers through hell, and taking an age to get anything done.
It's a scandal.
