Arrived at site in Hawes, and Alko friction pads broken. Rang Callender caravans, and James managed to supply the parts. Saved the day, superb service and excellent shop. Many thanks again.

Good place to find a full range of accessories with the added bonus some second hand bits retrieved from traded in caravans are sold at reduced prices.

I bought the caravan in the link below for £8995. It had several faults, including a non working toilet, a fault with the gas supply, issues with the hitch and a broken cupboard door. It was returned to Callender on 9th August and is now listed at a higher price.

We bought an Elddis Odyssey 2010. The service we initially received was straightforward and seemed fine. We were told the caravan would be serviced with everything in working order (this is stated on their website). Unfortunately, when we used the caravan, we found the toilet didn’t work and the gas flow was inconsistent to the hob so were unable… to use it. Long story short, the man at Callender told us to return the caravan and he would give us a full refund.
We have since purchased another caravan and towing this one is much easier with more control. I’m now wondering if there

Friendly, not pushy sales team whether selling a caravan or something for a quid. Helpful as well, great knowledge base. Certainly one of the best teams I've ever dealt with and that's after 50+ years of enjoying caravans

Purchased a Freedom from them in November. When we finally use it. Both sinks leak. Water ingress at fridge air vents Majer problem. It was over weight when he sold it to us. With all the extras the previous owner had put in.

Bought our 1st caravan in July. Since then they have been a great help. They give excellent advice and tips. Nothing seems to much trouble. The service they give doesn't end when they have got your money. A big thank you to Gordon , James and all the staff. See you next season no doubt, lol.
