Lotus Caravan

hi justwandering
shouldn't you have asked this question prior to ordering your new lotus van
what will you do if negative feed back is received in quantity
cant help but curious about the ?? timing
happy new year to you too
cheers

justwanderin,

I have a Lotus Sprint 2 which is 4 years old and to be honest, I have not had any real problems with it.

Sure there are problems with all vans, but mine have been minimal, so hopefully your experiences will be the same.

Cheers,

Cruiser

Hi There & happy new year to you. We have a Jayco Outback & think it is fantastic. Have driven carefully down some very rough tracks & nothing broke!!! Friends had a Lotus & sold it after about 8 mths...not happy with it at all things fell apart & decided to sell prior to anything further happening. I wonder why you no ask questions prior to looking at one & certainly before you buy anyway I suppose things just happen for a reason. Hope you have many splendid trips iwith your Lotus.

That's two Threads today asking for opinions on vans that have already been ordered.

A search of the Forum would have revealed comments about both Trakmaster and Lotus that could possibly have caused you to ask for your deposits back (both brands).

Good luck.

Have just received our Lotus Trackvan waited 8 mths. for it to be built ,we are very satisified with the van as usual we had a few problems that have to be fixed ,our problems started when we went back to the dealer at the sunshine coast qld. they were not interested in helping us and told us we would have to deal with LOTUS direct to get these fixed. I found that once we had paid them our money they were not interested in helping us at all we would not recommend dealing with this dealer as it was him we paid the money to. Have now contacted Lotus and are in the process of having the problems rectifier in Coffs harbour My advice to anybody is to not pay or take receivership of their van until they are satisfied and DONOT trust dealers who say they will fix things later

Wow, as someone new to this forum I'm not sure I want to post any more questions. Thankyou to those who added responses that were helpful, from people who had Lotus vans! I don't thank thank those who seem to have a chip on their shoulder. Glad I didn't pay any money to become a member at this stage. Such a shame as there seems to be lots of good information here.

I dont think that the members who answered have a chip on their shoulder at all.
As said it would be too bad if you spent your money and only got bad comments.
Some of those who answered probably have a lot of vanning experience and so offered their opinion which is what you asked for.

Maybe not about other makes but still sensible.

Its the timing and how you ask that gets the answers.

It also helps if you say how far off the blackstuff you want to go as some vans will do mild off road and some will do hardcore off road and some wont do it at all.

Personally I would ask first about the several makes you have perhaps looked at and ask for opinions on all of them, then spend my money.

There are dedicated Caravan forums as well with make specific threads.

You will always get those who differ from ones ideas and thats what a forum is about..
