Has anyone out there had any issues with current model Retreat Vans?

haven't got one Hendo but have heard a few stories in the West of people having roof leaking problems.
I hope somebody with one might confirm or refute this for you.

Hi Hendo, we brought a Retreat Hamilton with outback mods in oct last year. Apart from a few minor problems that have been fixed all is well. We are heading off on the big lap in April.

We have a Retreat Brampton that we bought new in August 2011.
Apart from a few minor problems that all new caravans go through, we have not had a worry.
The problems we did have were fixed under warranty.
We are living and travelling in the van full time and are very happy with it.

Hi Hendo,
Any particular reason for the question? We have just ordered one so I have a vested interest.
Cheers

Hi Flags2
Don't panic, only minor issues that will be fixed under warranty. Retreat in Melbourne has been very helpful and are going out of their way to rectify any faults. Most new vans come with faults and are fixed under warranty.
Just a "Heads Up" - check fridge for outside sealing, had gas fumes going back into from underneath. Check radio/dvd player works through TV.
If you would like to email him your phone number he would be happy to have a yarn.
He is very happy with his "Fraser"
Regards
Hendo

Thanks Hendo - not panicking but forewarned is forearmed as they say. Will be doing serious DSOTS in the backyard before we venture too far after taking possession. So far I have only positive feedback on our dealings with everyone on the team at Retreat.
Cheers

Hi Hendo, had our Retreat Brampton, sitting up on indipendent suspension, and heavily modified to be totaly independent for a year. Minor issues with window blinds, but they are being fixed at the moment.

Could not be happier with the van.
