Can you post up a few more details? At what stage were you advised it was not the caravan you ordered or were you not advised at all? Was a discount offered to encourage you to accept older caravan?

Glad to hear you were refunded in full which is the most important thing.
Hope you can get another caravan soon.

What are you doing now? Are you looking for another caravan? Tbf secondhand is better. The newness has been knocked off it. It's only a box to sleep in at the end of the day. I wouldn't let this put you off. There's always plenty of caravans about. I only paid a grand for mine & I'm out in France for 4mnths in it right now. It's working great. Just get something & get out there caravanning I would.

Yes. I've got the cash but I simply could not bring myself to spend £15k or more on brand new. I got rid of an '85 Monza last yr & then wished I hadn't. I paid a grand for another ABI. Didn't like it so put it back on eBay & got me money back. Ended up in my tent in France for a couple of months last yr wondering how it happened.
Then once prices dropped in Sept I got this 95 Abbey for a grand off eBay & it was a diamond. Bone dry & previous owner had serviced it on a yearly basis for yrs. All I had to give it was 2 new tyres & pump a cartridge of PU sealant into every gap I could find & it's all good.

We're not sure. It's a shame we sold the old one. 17 years old but good as new.
Wouldn't the 6 month old one be as good as new then? You seem a bit fussy about it. No offense :)

We were never told - we discovered it ourselves having found the gas, electric and final appliance check certificates all signed and dated 12/10/17.
We had agreed and signed for a brand new caravan and wouldn't have considered such an offer had it been made.
If the certificates were dated 12/10/2017 that means the caravan still needs to be built? Did you order a 2018 model?
