You'll hear horror stories about all the makes of UK caravans, and in truth quality control in caravans lags way behind that of car manufacturers.
My advice is to have a good look around the showrooms to find your ideal caravan, but talk to the salesmen to find out how seriously they take pre-delivery inspections. Some dealers seem to hardly check caravans at all and wait for customers to come back with warranty claims, while others will take much trouble to show you right round your caravan and then give you as much time as you need to check it yourself for obvious faults.
Also, it may be worth looking for manufacturers who no longer use wood in the wall, ceiling and floor construction, instead using non-rotting alternatives.
I've only bought one caravan, which I still have, and it's been great. The one issue I had was dealt with very swiftly by, er, Swift. I suspect most people have no trouble.
But if you look at second-hand caravans, they seem to go on forever, which says something.
