I must be the only MH member to have purchased a van from Wildax Motorhomes (back in July 2006), so here goes. It was our first time into motorhoming, having camped and caravanned in the past with our children. We found Wildax via the internet and decided to take a look. Our first impressions of the location of their workshop (back in Mar 2006) could have put some off, but we decided to take a look. Whilst the business venture was very new, we were impressed with the set up and the guys involved (Duncan and Chris). We were also used to owning second hand cars, so were not unduly concerned about a motorhome being built on a van which was 2 or 3 years old, especially as it would come with a 12 month warranty. So we decided to go ahead and order a van. It was a Citroen Relay HDi 2.2 LWB, 3 years old and with 27,000 on the clock and full Citroen service history, plus 1 year’s MOT.

We collected the van at the end of July 2006. The build of the interior of the motorhome is very good and very comfortable. And the vehicle itself was easy to drive. It was very good value for money. There were a few niggles, all of which were rectified under warranty. And I have to say that the after sales service cannot be faulted. The guys take a pride in the product and look after their customers.

And as for the workshop, well I visited their new workshop a couple of weeks ago. The location is much better, they have a sign outside the premises and the workshop now has a far more professional look about it. But it remains a small business, with the owners still having hands on control. What they do not have is the expensive showroom and customer reception areas (which as far as I am concerned helps them to keep the price of their vans at a very affordable level).

All in all, a good company to do business with. And the proof of the pudding is that the Lab now sees the van as her second home!!!

We took delivery of our Constellation in January 2008, and I have to agree with the Yorkbill’s comments relating to both build quality and the companies attention to the customers needs. We believe our hard earned savings where well spent and we received excellent value for money. The van has performed faultlessly during our trip to the Dordogne this summer and there after on numerous week-ends in the UK.
Friends took delivery of their Constellation in March of this year and have stated that they also believe they received excellent value, and as the sole means of transportation is proving extremely reliable.
I am also informed that Wildax have now built over 100 vans so I guess the company must be doing something right! Laughing

We wish Duncan & Chris continued success in there future development
