i agree , little things like sawdust,sealer and the bits of plastic show a lack of care to detail.not good enough for the money involved.

surly its not down to the dealers to clean the rubbish excess sealer etc & get the vans up to a standard we will accept

just that the dealer charges you £500 PDI and it still has all the faults when you get it as it left the factory.time we had a JD power survey as they did with the cars.

It is up to the dealer to prepare the van for delivery, but some of them are prepare to take you money and not do the job properly.

Sorry but I've never found that to be the case,  the charge is often negotiable, and I've never had a van delivered with faults.  Maybe I'm lucky, I wouldn't want to put a hex on my new van!!!!!!!!!!! which so far is fine.

you are lucky,there are lots on here that buy new caravans and find faults of various kinds,be it sawdust, screws protruding or missing,laminate peeling or damaged.dirty finger marks on the roof.my roof is still marked from 2003.just found out my large skylight has only been secured by three sides as the hole is cut too large.just needed a good windy day to remove it onto the motorway.i was at a site and a guy with a twin axel new.had water pouring from the floor big style.he had just picked it up from the dealer.there was a pipe disconnect under the sink.lucky i spotted it he had not a clue there was a problem.less than one hour checking the caravan before delivery could avoid all this disappointment.like this one

Pegasus -- PROBLEMS !!!!!!!!!

Time to name my 'lucky' dealers over the last few vans.....

Robinsons - Chesterfield - Coachman, Broad Lane - Rugby - Eldiss,  Chichester Caravans at Birmingham and Bromsgrove - both Bailey,.  These cover 16 years and all were excellent.  Before that I was unfortunate enough to buy a Swift from a now defunct dealer in Spondon, Derby - no surprise they went out of business years ago.

I've read the Pegagus Problems - so far they don't apply to mine - no doubt time will tell.

Saw our new Pegasus the other day at dealers,it was clean, but everything was wrapped in plastic inside The trip to the dealers see to shake out any loose bits of plastic etc!

I know it will be spotless and all tested on collection, as its not the first we have had from our dealer (Salop Caravans at Cosford).

Got to get the old one out this weekend, empty it and drop it in so they can swap the mover across.Collect on 12th yippee!!!

The trip to the dealers see to shake out any loose bits of plastic etc!

you`ll be lucky , ours has towed 350 miles (mainly to and from the dealers) and still bits of plastic appearing in the top lockers.the ceiling lights are full of it as well.

off to chatsworth tomorrow with it, wonder what will fall off in that 65 mile journey ?
