thats great..thanks...the one i saw is a adria sports 573 df ....but its very similar to the one in the review...interestingly they describe the interior as bland, but it was the very blandness that i liked...non of these strange patterns and covers that i have seen!

Not anything that would worry us as we never use ours as it's useless, but strange having no radio in the cab , didn't know you could get one without nowadays


The Coral Sport has a fairly small engine – a 100bhp 2.2-litre unit which only provides 184 lb/ft of torque – so don't expect stunning performance. It's a front-wheel drive 'van with five-speed gearbox, anti-lock brakes, cruise control and electric windows and mirrors. There's no radio or air-conditioning in the cab – it's essentials only in this package.

Losing trust in a company appears to be fairly common occurance in our modern world.

But don't forget : Link Removed

There is one dealer I have never heard any complaints of and he is a member of the Fun.

I know he is a long way from you and will probably seem even further away if you do have any problems/warranty work.

Do not accept any repairs because once you do you are "on the hook"
Had major problems with a new Autotrail Arapahpo a few years ago and ended up taking the dealer and Autotrail to court over it.
Took several months but as Scottish law was easier to make my case for rejecting it and being awarded payment.
At the same time a few members on MHF had same problems but English courts denied them any satisfaction and as result they lost a lot of cash.
It is the sale of goods act that applies, as it is not "fit for purpose"
wish you luck with your problems

Glad things have picked up a bit for you, when we were looking for a new van , we decided we wanted a fixed bed, but we also wanted as small as possible, well we looked and looked and couldn't find one that was small enough or not enough lounge area, well we have compromised and not regretted it for a minute, we chose a compass avantgard with a rear u shaped lounge that we usually just leave the bed up and as there is only the two us we can sit on the bed to eat or can lounge back on the bed, if we do have visitors it's only a matter of a couple of minutes to revert back to the u shape, and all in just over 6 metres, like it that much , we never intend swopping it

That lounge layout is a bit like our old Burstner. Fine if there are only two of you but those dinette seats are a bit cramped.

It's a nice van though

A few of the foreign makes don't include radios, we've just bought a Globecar (German) and it didn't have one but the dealer put one in for us (a Kenwood) as part of the deal.

Another daft question.....but what is estimated payload...is it the extra you can carry on top of the MTPLM?

No, MTPLM (aka MAM) is the absolute maximum you can legally weigh in total, that's with all passengers, kit and kaboodle, fuel, water etc. Payload is the difference between this maximum figure and the lower MIRO (mass in running order) that the manufacturer states which often includes an allowance for part fuel and part water in the tanks but they all differ unfortunately!

It is there ... I had to play 'hunt the oven' though to find it ... it's in this photo, they've put it in the unit near the door! An accident waiting to happen!!!

Now for the next game of 'hide and seek' ... can you spot the stupid location of the smoke alarm!

Yes, saw it there as well............ looks like it was designed by someone who had no idea of living in a mh...........certainly not of using an oven etc.
and yes, just love the location of that alarm.........

Get your deposit back, dont think they can refuse if you did not agree to purchase with the damp and they were going to fix it.
