According to the Profile of the OP (and assuming that it wasn't his last van)

He is the proud??? owner of a Watertrail 700SE. Was anyone surprised?

Oh dear, very sorry to read this. I'm in the reject camp too, if it was a "Friday afternoon" van it could be the start of many problems.
Reject, reject, reject! :(

Reject the vehicle , asap .

From your post """ We have been in touch with the dealer but as yet they have not told us what is going to happen"""" . Dont let them spin it out . Dont accept ands, ifs or buts (aka bul***t ) from the dealer.

OK, I'll offer you £10k off what you paid, in cash.

I'm robbing myself, but just want to help :)

Yes I am but no more or less than any other van.

I also noticed that was what was on his profile but wouldn't it be funny if that was his last van and his new leaking one is the same as yours:LOL: FYI theres a Carthago and a Knauss thread both running with leaks too so please just don't pick on the Autotrails.

Not picking on anything Girderman. Someone asked 'What make' and the OP didn't respond.

Thats correct. The op hasn't responded so his vehicle could be anything and please keep your sexist comments to yourself.

well said ... and don't forget the Hymer water issues we've seen reported on here too ... but back to the OP's post, they should of course reject the new van without any hesitation ...

I can't get anything watery to rhyme with Hymer or Carthago so none of them can possibly leak on a regular basis :RollEyes:

Yes let's slate UK manufactures everything is perfect from the Fatherland.
Didn't VW have a small fraud issue lately. Granted it was not water related. But if the cap fits

I would reject it, for me I would never be happy with it, tell the dealer you've lost confidence & want your money back.

Interesting that as governments wanted to reverse the diesel blunder they made years ago.....the VW scandal pops up so handily :cool:

Its an Elddis, a brand new one at that. we rejected about 6 days after we purchased it. we are waiting for a reply from dealership, waiting and waiting and waiting. they do not seem to very talkative meanwhile the mh is getting damper and damper. we will not be going for a repair job we are sticking to a full refund. sorry to have kept everyone in the dark but we thought that this would be an open and shut case and expected a full refund almost immediately. we have taken it back for them to check the mh and have heard nothing that was 3 weeks ago.
