I bought the Nuevo from new at the end of April 2006 and have had so many problems - big and small! I am so disappointed in a) the Autosleeper conversion for habitation and b) the Peugeot Boxer chassis
a) Autosleeper conversion - [FONT=Peugeot, Arial, Courier, Times New Roman]Just some of the problems that have occurred! L[/FONT]eaking windows which have had to be taken out and 'reset'. Broken Link Removed Warped habitation door which now lets in water. Broken Link Removed Chipboard too thin to take the strain of the luggage retaining straps above the cab. Had to replace the habitation battery within a couple of months. The Trauma fire was faulty from day 1. My qualified engineer had to dismantle the wardrobe to get to the workings of the fire - much time and therefore money. Found an old rag - YES an old rag under the wardrobe floor behind the fire. Some of the top cupboard doors have enlarged so very difficult to open. Curtains around windscreen as very difficult to draw as the rails are too close to the ceiling. Not enough curtain material so they won't overlap - so if I want privacy Broken Link Removed then I have to use a peg to hold them closed. The seats are very hard and uncomfortable - let alone when converted to a bed. We put several sleeping bags on top of the seating to provide some cushioning.
b) Peugeot Boxer chassis. The chassis has already started to show signs of rust[FONT=Peugeot, Arial, Courier, Times New Roman] -[/FONT][FONT=Peugeot, Arial, Courier, Times New Roman]only 7 years old![/FONT] The local Peugeot dealers body shop was surprised and said it was unacceptable.

[FONT=Peugeot, Arial, Courier, Times New Roman]I could go on with further problems but wonder if others have had similar experiences. It seems to me, sadly, that once you have purchased a Peugeot Nuevo and they have your £40,000 + they both (Autosleeper & Peugeot) refuse to take any responsibility for after sales problems - which quite honestly shouldn't have happened in the first place.[/FONT]
[FONT=Peugeot, Arial, Courier, Times New Roman]This has been the worst buy of my life and probably the greatest disappointment. Don't get caught like I have.
