Another manufacturer on the way out
- Thread starter 1DayIll

We seen heaps of these vans on our Broome Trip last year. So we went and had a look at the dealer in Nambour, QLD, late last year. Was a bit disappointed in the quality and finishes, to be honest. Showroom vans had bits missing and doors just hanging on, not very good for business. We were just tyre kicking at the time.
I checked out the ones at Wangaratta last year and quite liked them, come up good but heavy.......... Seems a lot of these businesses fall over due to poor finance management, owners like to blow the $$$ on bling houses, cars boats etc when they should be putting effort into their operation.
interesting

Before we brought the Starcraft they where on the short list , they did not make vans just spec'd out to places with spare capacity doing deals.
Hence at the time one of them was made by Kingdom (Gone now) and one Cosycabs and another ???? . So different build quality
Which worried me.
Looking at Melb show list they are supposed to be there.. Be interesting what is mentioned to customers buying. They say they will
Although Facebook and website mention nothing.. Hope they do not sink and take show deposits with them.
Postle said that anyone buying a Kokoda, Dreamseeker or Royal Salute caravan will be made aware that the company is in Administration and that the individual brand’s warranty no longer applies. However, he said in some cases an individual Manufacturers’ warranty and Common Law protection would still apply.
