I have had a few hrs to burn this morning and have been reading a choice article on lemon vans and then reading rogues gallery , it seems that the dog is chasing its tale . The poor buggers that have bought a "lemon" seem to have virtually no chance of getting money back or their vans fixed . Its entirely up to the manufacturers integrity . And to that end because a majority of them are operating on a shoestring budget they cant wear the cost of fixing their mistakes or "short cuts ".The repairers more than likely thrive on this situation and to that end some of them are shonks also from things I've read. If there is a savvy repairer with integrity out there he/she could build themselves a huge business by starting up an onsite certification co. If they assembled a team of experts in the stages of building a van , and did onsite checks in factories as vans are built it could save a lot of anguish down the track for many consumers . Obviously there would be industry opposition to this practice , but if buyers utilised the service and and voted with their feet, not buying from companies that wouldn't accept the practice , then they would eventually come round because of pressure. Another thing is building insurance in the home building industry your protected by HIA insurance , they should bring in a compulsory ins for caravans as well at signing of contract .
