I have a 2007 Autocruise Jolliet ( very similar to the Starfire). During a habitation service last year, damp was discovered coming from underneath the van on one side. This was allegedly fixed under the Lowdhams warranty. However this year the same thing happened again but in new places. Again we are covered under the last year of the warranty but nevertheless we are not very happy.
We are not sure whether this is a design fault or just poor workmanship on our particular van. We are also not convinced that last year's remedial work was well done. The engineer who came from the warranty company was very scathing about coach built vans in general and Autocruise in particular.
Has anyone else had similar problems with Autocruise vans or coach built vans generally? Now that the warranty has expired we don't feel happy keeping this van although in every other respect it is great. We are thinking of buying a van conversion rather than a coach built. Are we right to be so concerned or have we just been unlucky?
