 we have just taken delivery last sat of our new (to us) van.

 its a 2007 abbey vogue series 1 470,now its all ok,no problems,everythings working in her,but connected it up at home here,water electric etc,filled water heater and checked all was well.

 come to get air out of system,and this is where the fun starts!!! turned cold tap on in kitchen,air spluttered out then water,no problem,but lo and behold,water sprayed everywhere from tap,turned it off and on inspection found that the little end of the tap was missing,the one that directs the water down,it screws into the end of the tap,washer was there ,but no diffuser!!!! wet my bl****y trousers thro!!!!!.

 checked the tap in bedroom,same thing,end missing,now thats a flippin joke!!!,i can only assume that when it was on the dealers forecourt for sale,some lowlife had been in it and nicked em when lookin round the van,people do such things!!!

 called the dealer yesterday and explained problem,he was shocked,will locate them and send them to us in the post asap,its not something that they check on pre-delivery inspection,they have done the main stuff and give us a certificate and stamped the service book,so cannot fault them there.

 if you want a good deal and service can certainly reccommend em tho.white arches at rushden,they looked after us well.[:D][:D][:D][:o)][:o)][:o)]

Its a common thing for certain people to nick things out of vans when veiwing.We were looking at a van and saw a few things left in it when we went back for a second look the water pump that was in the wardrope had gone.

went to look at caravans at a well known dealer
and looked at a bassicar caravan, there was so many little bits missing my wife commented on the caravans poor quality the salesmans reply was the bits had not fallen off or broken they had been stolen or pulled off in attemts to steal them and that they would be replaced when the caravan was purchaced also thats the reason they were all now locked up untill you ask to view

We looked at a few caravans on dealers forecourts before we bought ours privately. The one place we went into had something missing from every caravan. Very few had the clocks still in and loads had the LED lamps missing. One was even missing a complete kitchen tap. At the prices the dealers are charging though it's hardly surprising. We looked at the identical caravan to the one we bought at a dealer and it was almost twice what we paid for ours. And it had bits missing!
