I purchased my new Pennine quartz 6 folding camper from Cattrick Caravans in Yorkshire via the Caravan and Camping Show in Glasgow and to date I am not impressed with the service I have received,
I finally found Milngavie trailer centre who was willing to undertake the work in Scotland and did so to my satisfaction,
Interesting point re. the after sales service in Scotland.
I, too, purchased a Quartz 6 at the same exhibition. Some minor teething troubles but nothing that could not have been fixed quickly and easily if local service and support had been available. Unfortunately though, the nearest Pennine dealer is Catterick, who are over 200 miles away. Their first answer was to "bring it back and we will fix it" - not very practical given the distance involved and the cost in time, fuel and overnight accommodation (at least 1 day to go down, 1 day there and maybe a 3rd day to go back.)
To be fair, however, they did eventually find a local caravan dealer (Overland in Falkirk) who were most helpful and sorted everything out for us.
Pennine, meanwhile, were not interested and simply referred me back to Catterick. I don't think that they even know (or care?) where Scotland is, far less understand the difficulties that the lack of a dealer (or at least an accredited service) network poses in this area.
Similar issues with documentation, an outdated handbook that does not mention the Quartz range, is incomplete in many areas and has no proper instructions for erecting the trailer.
Nevertheless, we like our Quartz 6 very much - if only the aftersales service in this area were better.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
