Supreme

Don't look close.......
The outlaws bought a Corrimal 22' about 6 years ago and I can't believe the issues they've had. At first it was covered by warranty....
Broken door handle (replaced 3 times), leaky window seals, hot water system, toilet... these are not minor issues like a bit of trimming coming loose (maybe that's what they pride themselves in). Here's hoping yours serves you well.
Personally, it's bad enough owning a car and worrying about what can go wong with it....

Is that the tiny off-roader with the door at the back? If so, we have met 2 couples who have them and are pleased with their choice. Sure hope yours performs better than your close inspection indicates.

If you are unhappy with the quality of the workmanship - let them know - stick up for your rights and demand better. They have a name to live up to.

Hi Richard - My Brother-in-law and sister bought a 10yr old one a while back, and they love it. Just finished a 3 week trek with us out to Coongie Lakes and along some very rough tracks into station properties (plus floods etc).

The Getaway is not a Bushtracker, but then they do not cost $85,000 +.
They have an excellent reputation to date, so it is worth raising any concerns at this early stage. Also helps them in quality control.
( bigger the demand for a product = need more staff to build them = harder to keep an eye on everything. ). Perhaps drop them a line (just for the record).

I am also particular on build quality, so went over every wood joint in my campervan and used about 2 tubes of industrial liquid nails - just to be sure. Offroad camping demands a lot from these 'boxes', and corrugations give them a real work-over.

You chose one of the best on the market - take it back for any teething problems and
then just enjoy it..................happy camping...............Keith

Hi Richard

Could not agree more, we bought a new Supreme Territory last year and have had heaps of "issues" with it! I too was accused by the dealer of being too piccky! Tried to contact factory to voice my concerns but no replies from ,mail phone ,e-mails etc. The dealer had it finally for last three months and we are still awaiting two items to be replaced.All faults are basically due to bad workmanship! don't think the factory has seen a tradesman! I heard that they had won an award for employing and re-training refugees! I don't know how true it is but if the quality of work is anything to go by it speaks for its self! I was also told by the dealer "its only a caravan what do you expect"
I know there are plenty of people out there who are happy with them,but we are not! Dealer said it was supremes policy not to deal direct with customer and will only talk to dealer over problems. When you have paid over sixty grand for a lemon it leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

You reckon they would have said that when they were trying to sell it to you in the first place?

I think they're all much the same Richard so don't feel that yours is different to the rest of the pack. My new caravan had very poor workmanship as did my new camper. I got sick of the crap industry, I'll never buy another. Give me a good quality tent any day Thank God our motor vehicles aren't built to this standard.

Hi all

And thanks for the replies

Had a good night's sleep and a think about it.

And we will have to accept the caravan as it is (and thought it would be that way) make our mods, repairs, and make it work.

(Sort of bleep es me off sometime that we (me & wife) don't spend more time looking at what we buy)

Like I said it's our first van and not just a caravan an off road-er!

If Supreme make it to a price and they can handle it sobeit (the van that is).

If it doesn't work out its always insured LOL.

It's not limited to Supreme, I am babysitting a Windsor Rapid offroad for my uncle and also can't believe how bad they are put to together for a brand new unit. He has since silicone sealed the aluminium end frames and roof to try and keep the dust out. Took him a good three weeks to really go over it and make it he was happy. Inside the trim was also no so crash, seemed like the apprentices might have finished it off before delivery.

If you paid good money for it and its a hunk of bleep take it back. Tell them and show them how bleep poor their work is.

Hi all

Had a second look at the van on the weekend and I am a bit happier
Started to make my own repairs and mods
took it for another run and it does tow well

5 weeks till our trip east to see my old girl in Vic
