Exciting times!     It sounds like caravan delivery is about as reliable as cars, we ordered an Audi last August, just been told earliest we will get it is April :((

Hi Di+Glyn _W

I know the feeling, our lounge and garage are full of stuff from the 'van, waiting to be put back .  It is amazing what you can fit in a caravan. Re. the thread on led indicators not working, we went to our dealer to-day to take our old 'van so they can swap the mover.  I told him of my concerns with the indicators, he pugged his tester thinggy magig into my car and I  was very pleased when everthing worked ok. All lights worked and bleeper worked ok.  Good luck with yours, hope all goes well.17

Pee Jay, beware though regarding them Leds. Apparently every car you now buy has to be tested to be compatible with the electrics on the Leds.
We are opting for normal bulbs on our rear light cluster as we are changing our tow car next year and this new van has to last for years.
We want to tour europe in the near future and cant risk blinking lights, intermittant faults and the like.
I have to say that Bailey and my dealer have been fantastic so far with dealing with this (sometimes) faulty Led problem.
It is accross the board as well on all forums, Leds can cause the car tow electrics (indicators) to become faulty.
Im hoping our build date of May comes around sooner though, havent seen any caravan I like as much as the Unicorn. Enjoy your luxury hotel on wheels.

And yes caravans are like a tardis.
I shove everything in the back of our car and take it to the van and lo and behold our van 'eats everything up' so nothing can be seen. If only my home was the same lol.

Hi all, we collected our Madrid on Friday as promised by dealer.  Please to say lights winkers and bleepers all work to perfection.Put Alde heating on when we got home, van soon warmed up.  BUT left it on low setting on Friday night , went in this morning and thought it felt a bit cold.  Error message on Alde panel, expansoion tank empty , water all in cupboard. Seems to be a leak somewhere, so it will have to go back for repair. Hope this is just a teething fault !!!17
