Reggy2,

Brilliant mate, thats the sort of thing I was hoping to find. A blue slip inspection staion in close proximity to the RTA.

Thanks heaps.

Ian

gmd,
Cancelling the order should I have the "right" contract or not does not do a lot as far as having a caravan holiday this year.

P.S.

Can you forward a couple of "right" contracts so that I know what I should be looking at.

GUJIm,

Yeah mate, know it's a little bit naughty and the manufacturer offered to do something along that line which only delays the need to register in NSW and adds to the overall cost.

No I don't have a single relative in Vic and at the moment I 'm thinking that's not bad. (Apologies to our Vic Members).

Ian.

Hi Motherhen,

Have followed your posts on a number of forums but never expected to have a reply or reply to you.

Probably a bit hard for me to use the business address of the manufacturer to register the van. Even if I did it would not help me, only add to the overall cost.

Insurance is not a problem, NRMA will insure me from the minute I tow out the door, just as they did with the Camper Trailer I bought in Vic. and towed home on an unregistered vehicle permit.

As far as the delivery date is concerned the dealer quoted "late April/early May" on our signed contract. We are now talking May 18th. which could be argued to be mid May. Not great period of time in the history of the universe but enough to upset "her" and I as it oly leaves eleven days out of the only annual leave I get for 2009.

I'm not looking for ways to get out of the contract or to knife the manufacturer just some suggestions to help us achieve the most streamlined result when we do get our van.

The manufacturerer has been in the industry for many years and has a reputation for building a long lasting quality van which they sell directly out of their factory.

Strangely enough the manufactureres of quality "full custom built" vans are actually seeing an increase on their order books whereas the "churn em out" manufaturers appear to be doing it tough.

Just as an aside, Melbourne van outlets I'm told, are moving any number of vans to those requiring replacement housing following the tragic fires in South East Victoria.

I'm not, at this point ready to get extremely heavy with my manufacturer because at the moment I'm prepared to accept that they are trying to supply vans to those who need somewhere to live.

Mind you! If I suspect otherwise then I will be more than happy to name them on this and other forums with days, dates, times and email and phone transcripts.

Ian

Sorry Motherhen,

Exuse my ignorance!


Regards also to the Rooster.

'Tis the hen alone on the forums Ian.

I expected the effects of the recession would result in the cheaper mass manufactured vans getting the sales over the expensive custom built ones as people's retirement savings have taken a bit hit.

With the demise of two of the big names in custom vans (Boroma and Roadstar), i am surprised that the reverse is happening.
