Hi all,

Its me again, by now you must think that I am the biggest whinger but just to let you know how I am getting on with my new roof. I was`washing the van prior to my summer holiday and went up to wash it. It looks liked a ploughed field. The complete roof is full of ripples and bubbles. There are places where I can push the bubbles down about an inch. I am at my wits end about this vehicle but have decided to take a detour again on my holidays to Italy and talk to the nice Eura Mobil people. Keep an eye on the news about a major incident at the Eura Mobil factory at Sprendlingen next month (at least I know my way there now)
I ll keep you updated Evil or Very Mad

Hello again,

Spoke with Petra at Euramobil. She stated that because of the size of the roof it will expand and contract depending on weather. I have been keeping an eye on it and it does appear to expand with hot weather.

I am just going to leave it, surely nothing else can go wrong; except

My wife and I were burgled on Summer holidays in Switzerland while sleeping at a Motorway service station. Someone cracked the passenger door lock, came into the motorhome and stole about £800.

Apart from all the problems I like the layout of the van, it suits our lifestyle, we go skiing for three weeks each year and it is well insulated water tanks and all. There is a great garage in which I carry a scooter and two bikes. I chipped the engine and and added a K&N air filter.Performance and economy has improved. I used to get 20mpg now it averages 22mpg. The payload is good and I always check on a weighbridge before I set off,I am usually running about 4420kg fully loaded with the two of us. I have just had to replace rear brake shoes on the handbrake and was quoted £115 per set from Fiat. I sourced them for £29 a set and saved quite a lot of money. I reckon that to replace all the brakes on the rear would cost over£1000 by Fiat.

cant help thinking you are very unlucky Tommy, our 770HS has be no trouble at all. thinking about what I just typed, its when you have a problem you find out how good the back up is I suppose! I like the suggestion of a rally near the factory, count me in!

We have a warped door too!

The Van was 3 years old when we bought it and Eura Mobil were not interested, said it was out of warranty.

We have not replaced it due to cost and fear of the replacement doing the same. We get the wind, rain and drafts in the winter. Spiders and everything else in summer.

When I called a the factory at Sprendlingen I had a tour of the workshops and areas where they made the vans. It was very impressive as they are all in a line in various states of manufacture. I examined one part in the manufacture and now know why my floor dropped at the front. The van has been behaving this weather except I think the caravan battery charger is charging the batteries at too high a rate. When I checked the volts on the panel it said it was 16.5 volts. One of my batteries had boiled dry. It has not been charging my vehicle battery for some time now. Any suggestions as I always believe is self help first.
