Sorry to hear about your van Bob. Good luck for tomorrow and ringing them.
We always walk round our van before leaving the dealer with it.

Must admit, always check the front and sides throughly but only a quick glance on the back.

I can't believe these things are happening to you and your van. Perhaps we need one one of those sheets with pictures of different angles of the van when they are inspected for any scratches etc. Fella did one today when he took our car away to the menders!

I'd be tempted to send a photo of the crack to Abbey (or whoever they are now) to see if they are happy with filler and paint.

sorry to hear of your problems , never rains but it pours.filler and respray will never properly match the rest of the paintwork unless the whole lot is done.....
damn caravans & dealers eh ?
sometimes i wonder why we all bother

Hi bobsbabes, saw pics of damage,looks as though its had a fair whack and pannel seams moved,hope you covered it,in case of rain, think i would be looking at the service bay and surrounding areas where it was serviced and parking area where collected from, to see if there is any tell tale marks that mach the dent on van, did that with car that got damaged at service,pointed out the wooden pallet that was danaged at the exact hight of damage on car,they through thier hand up and did the repair. hope you have easy time with them. keep us posted.------------- If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
If in Doubt Check it Out.

as I said on the other thread bob,,,,,,,tell them you want a new panel fitting,my Son worked with this stuff for years and he said it wont stand up long if its Veed out and filled,it has to move and filler cracks when its does.insist on a new one as I did on my van.------------- Think this year is to follow old meet friends for 2014.
If you cant do someone a good turn,don`t do them a bad one,its nice to be nice you know,and little things mean much more later in life.
Pete.
