This means the dealer is not required by this legislation to repair, or make good any defect which may exist or occur with the caravan. Consumers buying a caravan from a licensed dealer, however, are covered under the Australian law." (this means you have to SUE very expensive, Very time consuming and no guarantee for win.

But the end story is, the van is very sexy, we love it and look forward with baited breath for its return from warranty repairs as they flatly refused to replace the van.
