Surely that only applies if the manufacturer is also the supplier which is not the case with caravans.

How would you get on if the dealer went bust if you couldn't claim against the manufacturer?
It doesn't make any difference whether it is a caravan or a microwave you can still claim against the manufacturer.

Not what I was told when I use Which Legal Services when i had big issues with our caravan which was finally rejected. Are you saying Which Legal Services don't understand the legislation.
Perhaps you could direct me to the legislation that states you can claim from the manufacturer? If there is no legislation how would you go about enforcing a claim?

You would not be able to claim against the manufacturer as the manufacturer would refer you to another dealership who would then do the work and claim off the manufacturer.
Have you actually taken advice from WLS and used them? I am going by what I was told by their solicitor so maybe I should go back to them and tell them that they are wrong?.

If you contacted the manufacturer then you are dealing with them not a dealer!
If the manufacturer refers you to another dealer they are honouring the manufacturers warranty as you would not have entered into a contract with the other dealership and as such have no rights with them.

Having to cancel and rebook service for year 1 due to snow and ice (purchase month was March), thinking ahead to years 3, 6 and 9, I did ask Swift if I could have another service in July (the month we don't take the van away) and have the critical date moved to July. It was refused.
Bertie.



What is a warranty? It carries no weight in law! The warranty is between Swift and the dealer and not between the consumer and the Swift. If Swift refuses to honour the warranty work, that is not your problem as your contract is between the dealer and yourself and no one else. No where in legislation does it state that in order for the legislation to be effective the unit has to be serviced annually. As long as it is serviced regularly which could be every 2 years and kept in a roadworthy condition there should not be an issue.



My swift handbook specifically spells out the rules as I previously wrote. And the contract is not between my dealer and myself. Since purchase I have never taken the van back to the dealer. When I had water ingress problems at 18 months, my independent (Swift approved) service department and Swift dealt with the repair under warranty.
Bertie.

I am surprised about the 2 tops post.That is different to my experience.
I had a lot of problems with a new Bailey,from Robinson’s of Chesterfield,all pretty much bang to rights warranty.
The dealer said Bailey refused warranty on excess noseweight but the dealer would do the work for about £500.Eventually Trading Standards got involved and said it was the dealers responsibility as they ,not Bailey, had sold it to me. The makers warranty is for the dealer to get reimbursed.
