I think you might be reading too much in to it too.  The newspaper clip is dated September 2008, and you know what they say...... even a week in politics is a long time!

The old Avondale factory is only about 5 miles south of me and I pass it often  if I am going to Nuneaton.  Absolutely no sign of life.

phewwwwwwwwwwwww we are buying a new caravan tomorrow and based this decision on the fact that the avondale that we wanted to get the factory had closed down! i read this and thought oh godddddddddddddddddddddddddd, and it put my mind in termoil again on the one we wanted to get, we have decided to go for the eldiss crusader instead on the basis that the company are still fully functioning and plenty of them and dealers around etc should we need anything in the furture, it was a really hard time for us to decide as we really like both vans.

im back to thinking we have made the right move with the eldiss yet again now after reading the replies

good news for sure,BUT confidence in the product and warranties in my opinion has gone now as a lot of folk were left in the lurch with there new vans.would i buy one? no i would go for a bailey or swift ect,as said what about the existing warranties.

Michael - As DSB has already commented, the article is over a year old, Sept 2008, and nothing currently appears to be happening at the factory.

agree,from my experience it can take that long to restart a business from a complete shutdown.interesting all the same.
