Placed an order for a brand new Elddis 196 with a six month wait. Paid a deposit in good faith.
After five months of waiting got a call to say the price had gone up 3 thousand pounds and it was in the order that they can raise the price 10 percent after order.
Disgraceful business practice and cancelled the order and gone to a different supplier:
Avoid !

I bought a buccaneer cruiser, after the first service there were mechanical problems with the caravan that could of only occurred at the factory assembly, i was told by the dealer it was ok to take away and was safe to tow, so i said i would get it sorted next time i had a service as it meant 240 miles to get it sorted, i left it to the next service and Elddis refused to honour the warranty.
This company will do everything in its power to turn down warranty work look at all the little writing small print.
By year 3 the front windows needed to be removed and re sealed water ingress all around

Speaking from internal experience. Cheap materials used for everything. This is fact. Poor people who spend their life savings on these products. It's a death sentence. These people know exactly what they're doing. Erwin hymer use only the cheapest parts and consumables. To produce their caravans. Knowing fine well people aren't gonna be happy but do it anyway. When it comes to leakage of vans they know fine well this is an issue but all they care about is getting the numbers out to disappoint. They expect people to seal the vans who aren't trained and no nothing about it using silicone without

Disgraceful build quality on my 2013 xplore 304. Quote for £5000 to sort water ingress all over back of van that should be covered under warranty but Elddis want nothing to do with it. Now discovered this area underneath. No wonder there’s water ingress. Floor rotten because panel on bottom of van was obviously cut short at manufacture!! Unbelievable. Will never ever buy an elddis van again. Shocking.

My Buccaneer Schooner could have been a nice van but for the extremely poor build quality. Customer service none existent, they won't talk to me about my caravan, just had to replace melted 240v socket that could have set fire to caravan. Still waiting for water ingress repair after nearly 12 months. Wouldn't touch another Elddis with a barge pole.

We have order a Campervan last January to be ready on April and after months waiting, we don't receive any answer or ETA about when it will be ready if it will. The only option offered after 3 months of delays is to return our deposit, that will make impossible to reserve any other model for this year.

Same problems with our 285. Damp problems and side walls coming away where they join the bathroom. Apparently a known problem with this model but no attempt to recall and fix. Had letter in July for recall regarding awning brackets....Still not fixed as dealer can't get the part from them! Great layouts. Super sales pitch. Absolutely awful workmanship and total lack of customer care. Would advise anyone thinking of buying an Elddis to look elsewhere.

I purchased a Elddis Autoquest last year, not my best purchase. On a 2012 model paint peeling of bonnet where the paint hasn’t properly bonded, inside all the plastic seems are peeling away, bathroom sink is cracking, very cheap and not quality at all. Also after a trip we got our above cab window smashed. So tried speaking with Elddis to help me try to get hold of another and they just don’t care.
Needless to say I will not be purchasing another motorhome from them.
