Coachmans are lovely we made a few trips to Glossop viewing the Coachman Amara last year before saving a few quid on a 1yr old Lunar instead.  The attention to detail is fantastic & Im sure Coachman will be our next van.

I've always had great service from the guys at Glossop (providing you aren't in their office when United are playing!!!).  I think the problems with Glossop tend to be on the used side - as when we almost bought the Amara I asked about them on here and all feedback on new after sales was positive.

So what did you get then?

we bought from glossop caravans, no problems,great service, will be buying there again,

enjoy your van.

Nice vans, Coachman (men?).

Pity you`ve chosen to buy it from Glossop, I`ve been in several times and never felt comfortable there for a variety of reasons.

They also don`t appear to have a very good reputation if you do a search on the various forums.

Hope you enjoy your van though.         

i purchased my van from glossop caravans had no problems, no pressure to buy just good service, every dealer in the country will have some negative views from various people if we all acted on these then nothing would get sold and everyone would be too paranoid to spend anything.

Well that's it, all ordered and signed for, except Michael is ringing me Monday with a 'really good' price on a new mover and if it is anything like the deal I already have that will be the iceing on the cake.

I had previously made my mind up on a New Lunar clubman se and agreed a price over the phone, but when the wife and I went to physically look at the van, Friday just gone, the pair of us were very dissapointed - it just did nothing for us. And I had dragged our existing van the 80 odd miles to the dealer as I was convinced I would be leaving it there as the deposit!

When I got home that day I rang Glossops straight away, and my timing must have been pretty good as the deal just kept getting better (end of period targets, caravan show just round the corner etc). We arrived at Glossops yesterday, Saturday, and there was the display model, heating on, lights on. Good salesman eh.

Anyway the wife and I are delighted and cannot wait to collect it. I just hope the service we have had so far continues.

Any comments good or bad (hopefully no bad ones), would be interesting.

We had done exactly the same and were prepared to order either the SI or the SB but on our second visit to the dealers we realised it did nothing for us either. Far too open plan and it was a job to reach the kitchen cupboards and microwave. The one thing it did have was Alde heating and a towel rail but it felt so bare and uninviting!!!

Then again, every bad dealer/supplier/insurance company in the country will have had some satisfied customers as well. That doesn`t make them "good".

Thanks for your replies, especially johnks.

I have read lots about Glossops but overall they came out well, the last couple of years in particular.

I will let you know how I get on later in Oct. as we have booked a few days on a site a few miles from Glossops that we will go to immediatley after collecting the new van.

We love our Coachman.  They have a lovely finish & feel 'solid'.

We aso bought from Glossop & can't fault them.  Excellent service when buying that has continued with after-sales.

Enjoy your new van!
