The new consumer law is quite clear & the op was always entitled to reject within 28 days of purchase with full refund however he paid. I suggest he buys a German built caravan next time.

Agree 100% with opensauce..should have changed my car instead of my van when i had a Geist that was too heavy for my car ,so well built that i still regret parting with it
Opensauce,
Not sure how to communicate member to member or even if you can.
Lady in another forum could do with your knowledge.

After you putting me right ,puffed out chests doesn't work and I am suitably humbled.
Hope you may advise her ,she sounds desperate and rightly so when you read her post.
Yes, caravans are quite simple in construction. A new buyer is entitled to be furious & rightly entitled to reject & a refund if a new caravan is delivered with faults as described.
However, probably the same caravan could be fixed permanently quite easily by skilled operatives with the will & the time to produce a proper repair. So when it is sold again there is no reason why it should not be ok.

I now know the dealer refunded the finance company and took the van back. I have a feeling it will be up for sale again soon...
It will have to be sold as second hand because if they sell it as new they would be in serious trouble.
He/she can find out as we did. Ring Swift with the Cris no. and ask them has any warranty work been done on the caravan. Thy are quite happy to tell you.
