autonm Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I am picking up my very first caravan end of March / Early April - a 2014 Swift / Sprite Classic Major 6 TD. Just wondering : 1) Does anyone have one of these models? or similar. ... anything I should look out for or double check before I drive away from the dealer? 2) In more general terms on the day of picking up and the first few nights of using the caravan - again are their any specifics I should look for? Basically I want to check for recommended problems/issues to look for, rather than just waiting for a problem (being pro-active). thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtrailman Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Theirs no quick answer to your question. But do not pay a penny until you have seen the caravan plumbed up to a aqua roll, not mains water, with mains electric. And everything working. Check every cupboard and door, worktop for damage, and look along the outside of the caravan from all angles, looking for dents and scratches. If you need reading glasses wear them. Double check each other, my wife's good at finding dents I don't see. I believe "left hand down" has an excel sheet you can copy. unfortunately even the most comprehensive check list will see items missed, so if possible camp nearby the dealer for a few days to establish any problems. If you can check the roof at the dealers, if not check immediately you arrive home. Edited March 2, 2014 by xtrailman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
