They're not far from the Hymer factory and museum. Think their factory tours a once a month. Might bring worth a visit.
Apparently you can park up at factory (heard they have hook up) or museum.

The Hymer Stellaplaz is outside the Sevice centre at the back of the showroom, only a small parking area, there is EHU you have to pay for it, no other services. It used to be a large Stellplatz but they have fenced most of it off for employee parking. Only room for about 10 vans now, not a patch on the Carthago City one, if we want to visit Hymer we stay at the Carthago one.

We have a Hymer and visited the Hymer Stellplatz 3 days ago. Electricity was via a coin operated machine €1 for 2 Kw. There was no free electricity.

After sue reminded me it definitely free last year remember getting the lead out in the pouring rain only did it because we had battery problems at the time. No way Lenny pays for EHU, the boss would lynch me.

Took our Frankia to the factory a few years ago , EHU was free,and cobs/rolls were delivered to the van again free.The only problem was that when they done the repair and extras then they told us that English credit cards were not except able .

£100,000 but we have had problems with our dethleffs and sent a email to the factory but they fobbed us off like they all do ray xx lol still lol going to move in with @dabhand now

Not just free, the EHU is 10A.

 

[wiljoy]

Been advised to return to the factory for MANY repairs and replacements to our less than quality Carthago
If they couldn't build the b..... thing properly at the start there's no way they're going to bodge it now .

Don't jump in to purchasing a Carthago . We saved for years to eventually own one and what a shock.They still drop to pieces and we agree the build quality is good. I'll be selling ours as soon as we save up.

 

[BobtheBass]

Our Carthago is fabulous. Apart from a couple of cost cutting bits missing from the spec (it is one of the cheaper models) I can't fault it in any way. Build quality is superb, everything works as it should, I would buy another in a heartbeat. I don't know why some of you guys have been unlucky but I'm really sorry, my experience has been the exact opposite.

How did you manage to get to 100k we were seriously looking at one with all the extras we wanted inc. auto came out around £83k @ €1.18 /£.
Quality fine better than Hymer but we couldn't live with cramped lounge and poor shower so saved ourselves 10k Euro and went for the Hymer.

Its the luck of the draw!

 

[jongood]

We ve looked at the Highline several times because its a good size for us and a reasonable price, but - like @Lenny HB - we find the lounge area too cramped.

It is a shame that Carthago offer no other choice of Lounge layout.

Might well include Carthago city on the next trip though.

Assuming you ve got a c-tourer; which factory do they want you to go to?

Most of the moans Ive heard of have been with the Slovenian produced ones, which in fairness are marketed as a cheaper and lighter alternative so I suppose something has to give.

Fortunately mine wasn't a Slovenian shed. God help me if they are worse . My conversation with them didn't last long enough for which factory I had to return to.
Had enough of there sh.. As far as I'm concerned they are over rated by miles .

 

[BobtheBass]

What problems have you had with yours? I know it's tempting fate but so far ours hasn't had any, although I appreciate that's probably just the luck of the draw. I thought the C-Tourers were all made in Slovenia?

The Chic C-Line is also made in the Slovenian factory.

I have a Compactline i143 on order - where are they made?

 

[BobtheBass]

As far as I know all the Carthagos, with the exception of the big expensive models are made in Slovenia. Can't complain with the build quality of mine, even if it's not German.

Slovenia.
I hope that doesn't make you want to change our mind?

No way! I'm looking forward to being a [Slovenian] Cathargo owner. Just wish I didn't have to wait until July 2017!

 

[Clarky]

Is there any reason why a vehicle built in a Slovenian Carthago factory should be less reliable or well built than one built in the same companies German factory?
Are the Slovenian workers less able, intelligent or reliable than their German counterparts?
Surely the factory will be managed and controlled in the same way, to the same company standards.
It's just that costs of wages and site overheads are probably a fair bit lower that in Germany.
Really can't see why there should be any problem.

Richard.

I think it depends on the motivation of the workers. At the moment I think the Slovenians are enjoying a new found property and take pride in what they are producing.
There's no apparent difference in quality.
