Never had a panel van but have had two new coach built Autotrails. Couple of issues in three years with first but nothing to write home about. Our current one had a lot more snagging to deal with. So, as already said, check everything because your dealer won’t and Autotrail try to hide quality issues. I needed quite a few things repaired/replaced but we still love the Moho.we collect a new auto trail tribute 680 GT next week with the 130 bhp manual gearbox.

My god you have patience of a saint. If I find anything like the amount of snags you had the van will be staying where it is.Never had a panel van but have had two new coach built Autotrails.

Fixes confirmed on my snagging list. 2018 Apache 634.
1. All pivot points on the habitation door electric step have been lubricated with speed of step extending adjusted. KEPT STICKING, POINTED OUT AT HANDOVER.
2. Dampers have been fitted to the toilet fan to reduce the noise. THOUGH FAN WAS GOING TO EXPLODE
3. The binding on the toilet cassette door/frame has been adjusted. DOOR KEPT STICKING
4. The carpet at the nearside front has been adjusted and now fits properly. NOT FITTED, JUST LEFT STICKING UP
5. The oily film found on the offside decal by the drivers door has been attended to. POOR FINISH ON BODYWORK
6. Both the R/H and L/H lower wardrobe doors have been replaced. DAMAGED DOOR AND ONE HAD BEEN “FIXED” WITH WOOD FILLER
7. The washroom door hanger that had come off has been attended to. HANGER FELL OF THE FIRST TIME A TOWEL WAS HUNG UP
8.The fridge door panel has been replaced. LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE USED THE DOOR AS A SLEDGE, IT WAS FOOKED.
9. The wiring loom for the indicator issue has been fitted. Sargent advise that the software update is still in development at this time. REAR INDICATORS WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY.
10. The Truma Technical representative inspected the water heater and advised replacing the element and thermostat is in progress as the parts have just arrived on-site with the Technician fitting and testing this afternoon. WOULD ONLY WORK AFTER RESETTING A FEW TIMES
11. The TV tested for the duration the vehicle has been on-site with no issues found. RANDOM PROBLEM WITH STANDBY, WOULDN'T SWITCH OFF. NO ISSUES SINCE
12. A self-adhesive rainguard has been supplied free-of-charge and has been left inside the vehicle incase you wish to make use of this. POSITIONING OF CABLES TO THE SATELLITE DISH AND SOLAR PANEL CREATED A BATH SHAPE WHERE WATER WOULD GATHER. PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE WAS AT A POINT JUST ABOVE HAB DOOR, FOOKIN STUPID DESIGN REULTED IN WATERFALLS COMING DOWN FROM THE ROOF RIGHT ABOVE THE HAB DOOR. I FIXED IT BY STICKING THE RAINGUARD ON THE ROOF TO DIRECT THE WATER AWAY FROM THE HAB DOOR.
13. Your previous email stated that your vehicle had to be delivered to AM Philips on 13th June with no time given. We have spoken to Casey around 4pm this afternoon who advised us to bring the vehicle to them and your vehicle is currently enroute to them. ISSUE WITH HUNTING GEARS, STILL NOT RESOLVED, TOLD TO PUT SOME MILES ON THE ENGINE TO SEE IF ISSUE GOES AWAY. ONLY DONE 3500 MILES, STILL HUNTS AT 50 AND 60 MPH, NO BIG PROBLEM, JUST CHANGE SPEED A LITTLE AND IT GOES AWAY.
14. Habitation door hinge cover is in transit. MIDDLE HINGE COVER MISSING FROM NEW.
15. Front roof light has been fitted incorrectly that is why you can see staples on the roof. Cover strip fitted to hide staples as requested. WTF, STEVIE WONDER COULD HAVE SPOTTED THAT.
Because I reported some of the issues when I got home, the dealer suggested that I might have caused them but will fix them as a good will gesture. A-holes.
None of the above has spoiled our enjoyment of the van but the attitude of the dealer was quite shocking to be honest.
Good luck

I would have too but most only came to light when I got home.My god you have patience of a saint. If I find anything like the amount of snags you had the van will be staying where it is.
The dealership I’m using know what I do for a living and will not pay the balance until I’m happy.
