Has anyone seen these new vans in the flesh either at NEC or in their showroom? If so what are your views ?

We had a good look over these at the NEC and while externally stunning vans to look at the interiors were very disappointing. The build quality and attention to detail was dire. Units appeared knocked up with what appeared to be cheap conti board. OK, you could argue that the amount of people going through the vans is going to trash then to a degree but none of the other vans vere in the state these were in with poorly fitting cupboards, peeling veneers, terrible sealant finish around the sink areas. Couple this with some dubious designs such as a cooker stuffed in a space next to the door means it will be many years before I look at these again... assuming they are still making caravans in several years time.

Although they are a good idea and will appeal to some I think the experience of those (few) that bought from Dunster House when they first brought out the Stealth would put me off being an early adopter.

Thanks for the views given. I am trying to decide wether to make the trek to Widnes to view these vans which I must say look interesting,however the analogy with the Stealth vans is of concern.Pete

We went to the show to look at the Eterniti vans as we were certain we would be buying one. Definitely won't be after looking at them .
So disappointed with the finish like previous posters have said. The electric canopy idea sounded brilliant but when you put the sides on there were gaping holes in the corners!!! We were told to put plasters over the holes or towels!!!!!!!! No thank you.

We are now looking at the Eddis Tempest, different league by miles.

saw them at the NEC , loved the idea but as already said the build quality is dire.too much of an unknown quantity to risk buying one even if the quality was good , gives the impression of a here today gone tomorrow product so a compromised warranty and after sales would be a massive minus point.

I agree with the other posts, also had a good look at the nec. Personally they need to bring the price down and the weights . I would wait and see we're they are in two to three years and how they stand up.

Like everyone else I was very disappointed with them, the interiors do not match the promise of the outside I'm afaid. The layouts are not practical at all. They will need to redesign I think.

If you look at the youtube vid it states they are prototypes built in the USA. The interiors look very American as well so probably not to UK/European tastes.
