Hello,
Nice to have a site to chat Motor Homes.
My Partner and I recently bought a Lunar Newstar 58.
We have learned a hard lesson ie: Its not always a good idea to buy at a show, especially when the dealers premises are a long way from where you live.
We bought at the Stratford upon Avon Show, from a dealer in Peacehaven E. Sussex. We live in South Wales.
This meant we had to travel a long way to pick it up, thats ok if you don't encounter any problems with the van. Within 2 weeks every catch had broken off the cupboards, some blinds became lose at the windows, in fact actually 1 blind fell off.
The Truama electric heating failed to work,( thermostat faulty). :roll:
WE waited 4 weeks to get permission from the place we bought it, :x to have the work done under warranty with a local Caravan Repair dealer.
We still had further problems and consequently drove to Peacehaven to get things sorted, some were, but due to a wait for spares some we had to have done locally again.
The van itself is great, but surely these problems should be sorted before it is handed over, or at least promptly after we have shelled out large amounts of money. Has anyone else had this sort of problem? Would like to hear how it was dealt with.
