Our nearest neighbour on our current site has a lovely Avondale Argente and we are jealous! however, as Avondale have gone out of business, what does one do about servicing? under the terms of our current insurance, and the warranty, the caravan has to be serviced by an approved dealer. And what about obtaining parts?

i would think as Tentz says because of the avondale factory bust the warranty or any warranties are no longer viable. unless someone has agreed to take them over.

I always get muddled with this.  Warranty is with the manufacturer, but the customer has to deal with the dealer who has some legal obligation?  Phil will know.

Whatever the case, I wouldn't hold out much hope for the warranty now.
