CREATIVE CARAVANS - TRACKVAN TOURX

Creative have built themselves a pretty good reputation, but don't forget to look at a few other well known brands for a quality and price comparison.

I do not know about Tourx but I had a Creative 20 foot tandem on road van - no ensuite custom built about 3 years ago.
I dealt directly with the manufacturer. Van was good value at that time being $5k under the market at $29k. Reasonable inclusions and popular brand componentry used.

On delivery there were quite a number of defects mostly cosmetic but a couple of silly errors together with poor detailing and presentation/cleanliness was below my expectations. There were several thousand dollars of rectifications done by a third party caravan repairer to get it right including water sealing several areas. Creative eventually compensated me for same. In spite of my frustration with that experience, I almost had Creative build me another Van [based on dollar savings] but would have applied some encouragement to get finish right first time round. Have now arranged custom build 24 footer elsewhere.

I feel Creative have experienced the pressure of a new start business and at that time lacked the production controls needed to consistently deliver a reasonable quality van.

A mate bought a similar Creative van to mine but with ensuite about 18 months ago and whilst there were a couple of faults after leaving factory they were rectified before delivery by country dealer, mate is reasonably happy with overall result.

I suspect there are quite a number of buyers that are satisfied or even very happy with their Creative Van [Badged Grant Tourer in some cases] and I am also aware of a couple of folk that were a year or two back less than happy with Creative finish, but that seems a common theme with a number of the van manufacturers.
