Havnt had this with a van but did with a car, bought back in the day a ford Orion from a ford dealer, got it home, and then two days later looked out the window at night and the street lamp was shining on it, and there under the light it looked like a patchwork quilt!

was it red by any chance ???

Pah! These manufacturers should knowe the law better.

Sale of Goods legislation gives you SIX YEARS to report a fault IF IT IS A FAULT CAUSED DURING MANUFACTURE. Which your is.

3 years or other warranties/guarantees are fine too, but they do not replace your statutory rights.

Sounds like you need to advise them to get a good lawyerm then get along to the CAB pdq.

Hi Murano red is the worst colour to match up its metrmeric ??? i think thats the way you spell it, basically it will look perfect during the day but under a street light anything thats been painted will stand out, i used to by damaged cars and do them up anything that was red used to get a full spray job.

our pegasus had the same issue . didnt notice it until a month after collection when the sun shone on it.
bailey admitted they get damaged in the factory and re-worked to saleable standard.
surely saleable standard means you cant see the different paint / filler underneath / sandpaper scratch marks ???
got a new side put on without too many arguments

Can you believe that  Bailey again so we go from cracking front and rear panels to bogged caravans........jesus it will be cut and shut next

Bev + Jon would you have another Bailey ???

it's far easier to repair cars than caravans, can you imagine chucking a caravan into the oven to bake the paint  

as for getting a damaged new van no.... when you pay 17k for a new van you expect it to be perfect any different is not on. If you wanted a van that was not perfect yo'd buy second hand and take a chance.
