Hi, When collecting a new caravan just how picky should I be, my last van, 5 yrs ago, the loo door fell off on the way home and the dealer repaired the resultant scratches with polish. Should I be checking every screw and catch in detail or not. I have noticed that the loose fit carpets are all curled up at the edges, not sure if they will flatten down or end up driving me mad, should I reject them before I accept the van or not. I have also noted a small gap at the bottom of the loo door, if used as a shower this may leak, I dont intend to use the shower but should I get it sorted aswell. I can see me going to collect the van and ending up giving them a list of jobs to do and leaving without the van, is this the way to do it or take it away and then arrange to bring it back to get the snagging done.

Think doing it with the salesman is a good idea , thanks.

I always admire the people on here that can barter and get lots of stuff with their new van, I have agreed a price for my van but that was before i said that it had a mover on it, so I am going to go back and ask for more, I also am going to ask for the 13 pin adaptor and a combi kit for our awning as its too small for the new van but cant get it altered as its more than a metre. No point in asking for more as I have everything else. I am a bit of a chicken so wish me courage.
