Wozerp Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi, We have a 2013 Magnum GT 576. Upgraded upholstery (Tivoli loose cushions + additional cylindrical bolsters for each end of the front dinette seating), BBQ point, awning warmer, external shower, Omnivent. Plus a lot of dealer promoting graphics (front and back panels + gas locker cover, most of which I have removed. Think that's it. We have the van serviced by an approved mobile engineer, Pearman have so far been very good with warranty issues.

MillieDog Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Here's a copy of part of the brochure from 2013. Just a point of detail, the Magnum GT is Avante based. The Magnum is based on the Xplore. Like Wozerp we removed the graphics that made it look like a dealer advertising billboard. Our experience of warranty issues has been somewhat different. Things common to many of this year, and well documented on CaravanTalk, include cracked rear panel (replaced under warranty, by Premier Towing Centre), cracked gas locker and poor performance of TV Aerial. Shame as it's a well designed and good looking caravan. Feel free to ask any other questions I may be able to help you with.

MillieDog Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Thanks Wozzie and Millie,will check that out I pick it up tomorrow. A couple of other thoughts. Avante and Magnum GT's came with an Avtex TV as standard when new. Don't know if that is of any interest to you. The heating was noisy, especially at night and if it's under your bed. Whale supplied (in fact they came to our house to fit) a silencing baffle which made a huge difference. I disconnected the awning warmer on their advice to make heating more efficient. Part of the shower cubicle was replaced as it cracked around one of the screws. Enjoy your new caravan. As I wrote above, they are well deigned and they look good. It tows well as well.
