Petra Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 After perservering with our Autotrail for the last 6 months we could not stand things falling off and not working every time we went out. So we have gone back to our beloved Chausson's, We might be CLOWNS but we are happy CLOWNS. (Chausson Lover and Other Wandering Nutters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK5 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I agree. My swift kontiki has had its fair share of problems, all minor however which i have fixed myself because its easier. I will buy a european made motorhome next time, i'd like a Burstner Elegance, but hey !!! If the british motorhome industry isnt careful it will go the same way as the british car industry did, ie , out of existance. I run my own business and if i treated my customers the same i wouldnt have any work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Jones Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Our Cavarno, made by Horizons in Tamworth, has been fine for over three years, 43000 miles, and well over 150 nights away. A couple of screws on a hinge worked loose during the last trip, and I've just had to re-do some sealant where the shower tray had distorted slightly with use (after 300 showers!). Falling apart? Never! British workmanship as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was presumably watertight when it wasn't raining? (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
