The Cristall Moorea 530 BB is one of the vans on our list, ( the others being the Hobby Excellent 450 UBK and the Fendt Saphir 490 Q ), but I would like to ask where is a good place to have a look at Cristall vans.
There is only one for sale on Autotrader in the whole country at the moment.
Any ideas about dealers please?
Many thanks,
Jim.

They are a Dutch/French/German van. They are very good. By the way, Hobby and Fendt are the same firm, Fendt being the up rate van. Have you looked at:-

Many thanks Mike.
You have also cleared up another query of mine, as I was wondering about the relative qualities of these vans.
Are Cristall similar in quality to Hobby then?
Cheers,
Jim.

Hi Jim
Hobby is aimed at the young family, hence the colours. A lot of van for little money, if you know what I mean. The Ctistall is aimed at the same market, but are better built, my opinion only, but its a known fact that that you have to be somewhat of a hand worker to keep for years. I'm sorry but I'm bias, my brother-in-law has one since 2000, and no end of troubles with it.

Mike

Thanks Mike. I get your drift. Although I have fixed most things in my time, I really don't want to take on a van that requires high maintenance.
Many thanks,
Jim.

Thanks for replying Sean.
We were looking at caravans and just wanted some general info on Cristall vans, but we've since bought a Swift Blakemere that we came across, but again many thanks,
Jim.

Oh ok - nice vans swift. Sorry I missed you earlier. Hope you are enjoying your new buy. With Cristall's parent company going into receivership - perhaps for now anyway - it was a good buy.

Mine is still great and going strong and I still have no regrets at all.

Again hope you enjoy it! Happy camping.
