Hi

We are thinking of trading our current caravan for a 2002 Elddis Crusader Superstorm. We are impressed by its features and finish but have read a few 'dodgy' reviews about towing and more worryingly reports of structure problems. Has anyone anything good or bad to say about the Superstorm which might help us?

Also, having never towed a twin axle before, will this be much different than a single axle?

Thanks

Like Diane, I cant comment on the van structure etc but we looked at them when trading up from a single axle to a twin, and they look lovely!  Hubby does the towing and he raves about the twin axle.  He maintains that it is far more stable, and easy to manoevure.  We do have a twin motor mover though for the awkward spaces and couldnt do without it.  Good luck with the search,

I've never actually owned an Elddiss, but they seem to have a good reputation for being solidly built (bound to get dodgy ones in every manufacturer though "Friday Built").

We have a twin axle but its sited.  If we decided to start towing I'd invest in a motor mover, apparently they're worth their weight in gold.

Thanks for this.

Anyone ever had a Superstorm?

We have an Elddis Crusader Sirocco twin axle.  It is a lovely van and tows great.  We have the Winterhoff stabiliser which when we first started towing felt stange.  We have always had an Alko.  Then we lowered it on the plate and found a better ride height.  It now tows like a dream.  The alarm on the van is great operating on the keyfob.  It charges itself whilst on tow and is ready to use as soon as you need it on.  The awning light comes on when you set or unset the alarm.  It is easier than the keypad versions.  The only probs we have with the van is when we took delivery of it the blacked out back window has a large scratch across it (outside).  14 months later we are still waiting for the window to be replaced by the dealer. Elddis had sent them one but on fitting it, Wanderholme found this to be scratched as well.  We are still awaiting the fitting of window no.2!

Everything else with the van is lovely though and is very comfortable. We would recommend this van.

Hi Valencia

We have an Elddis Avante and would love a Superstorm, except the car we had when we bought it would not have pulled it. Since buying we have joined the Elddis Owners Club, and found them to be some of the nicest people we've ever met. I know that some of them have Superstorms, and I'm sure they'd be happy to give you some advise. Go to www.elddisownersclub.co.uk and click on Guestbook. And if you decide to join, we'll hopefully see you on a rally sometime!
