Carthago Liner-for-two

[HugoBNB]

Very apt.

True. Bloody autotype! Also accurate in my friends case. A very top end caravan from a reputable German manufacturer leaked like a sieve. Ours, from the same manufacturer simply had bits keep dropping off it, and doors falling off. Got to the point when it was prudent to take an empty bag to collect t the bits in on a trip.
Safe travels to you.

Cracking Van, I’m on my second.































































































































































































































































I don‘t know your expectations but a magnetic strip coming away, just stick it back down, the same with a step light.































































































































































































































































The awning is a Thule problem and could happen on a 50k Swift or a 500k Morelo.































































































































































































































































































































































































































































What van did you have before??































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Hi

strange first post. Jump on, Slate Carthago, don't join, then disappear.
I get your a bit pissed about it but at least join and discuss it.

And a Happy New Year to you too. When you consider what this van costs, the list price now is around £250,000 are you surprised I'm fed up with Carthago. I haven't disappeared, I'm more than happy to discuss,

What van did you have before the Carthago?

you have 5 posts free, you then have to join, Your issue's with your Carthago are miniscule to what mine were trust me. Why not join and you might get better help.

I and others are always suspicious of those that instead of their first post being "hi I'm such and such" to someone who's first post just slates a brand of Motorhome. I have to say, your issues you mention seem rather tame to most, 250 k or 100k makes no difference. When mine sat there on fire on my drive way it could have been 10k or 1 million I would still have been pissed off.

Well after the last new van Hymer we said never again! Lots of stupid problems eventually all put right after 3 years mostly by me.
So then bought a Splus with 2,500 miles from Premium in Doncaster absolutely Shite service and next to warrant, Carthago give little support if any,
I have now sorted out all the silly stupid problems that should have been done had the dealers been competent
Like any van it’s going to have little issues but got to say Carthago warranty is Shite that being said they are quite a good build as most of the things that failed were bought in parts,
Thankfully Chris @Reliance was a big help in helping me source new wiper linkage parts from bbsystemsteknik in Germany who stepped in after 4 months of waiting for parts.on a two year old van.

Premium invented shite service. I wouldn't trust them with lego.

My wife laughs at me as carry my big toolbox everywhere with me. It seems that there is always something to fix. You’ll get used to it as it is part of motorhoming.

there is always something to fix

Had some funny looks in a car park in Germany when I had the Hab door laid out on the floor in bits fixing it

 

[bilM]

generally their quality is quite good certainly better than Hymer.

I hope so however i have my doubts just as many complaints about Carthago as Hymer on the Carthago UK facebook group.

To be fair I have found them to be pretty good, certainly at workshop level, I think it's usually Josh that works on Morelo's and I have found his work to be absolutely top notch, maybe you should buy a Morelo

 

[bilM]

maybe you should buy a Morelo

Am a poor pensioner.

Rearly, they fitted a solar panel to my mates Carthago, I've never seen such a bodge. That was a few years ago maybe staff have changed.

So am I now

I speak as I find Lenny, I think it's only ever Josh that has worked on our van and as I say "spot on" and I am not that easy to please

 

[bilM]

Am getting them to put my van round to SAP to fit my solar panels lithium batteries and leveling system.

At the risk of straying from the original post:

I’ve only had one contact with Premium. I wanted to look at a Carthago E Line 51QB DA (New) with a view to buying. I called on the phone and was told it was still available. Travelled for 2.5 hours to get there, immediately after making the phone call, only to be told it was sold. It was still in the showroom with the price displayed. It actually wasn’t sold.They’d priced it up wrong. It remained in their showroom and was re-listed the next day or so for about £20000 more than the original price. This was late October last year, or early November.

I’ve never dealt with such a rude member of sales staff with a ‘couldn’t give a sh!!’ attitude. I would have expected honesty about their error rather than incivility. I wouldn’t go back there unless I was absolutely desperate and they had exactly what I wanted.

Can’t speak for their service department as I didn’t get to buy from them.

Now happily set up with aCarthago E Line 64 QB from elsewhere.

I bought my Morelo from them back in 2020 and dealt with Mat for the sale and since then Simon in service and Josh and have had excellent service from all. Josh goes out of his way to find a solution to any issues, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them
