Poor Workmanship

Bought a new Jurgens Penta in February 2017. With the 1st 6 monthly service 1 cupboard latch had to be refitted cupboard could not close. Fridge freezer plastic latches both also had to be replace. Handbrake was not working properly.

During our October camping trip the side panels of both dinette / double bed came loose. Side wooden support beam of 1 dinette /double bed broke in half. glass panel of door cabinet has 3 little *****s missing. Double bed mattress has 4 holes. Caravan sways during towing which is actually very scary. Can't tow above 100 km/h. this is worse on a downhill. I try to minimize swaying by placing tent over wheels, which helps slightly.

Going to wait for next service before taking it to dealer because at this rate more issues are bound to creep up. Luckily I have no camping trips before then. Contemplating a trade in for a Sprite model.

A very big thank you to Middelburg Caravans for sorting out the weight issue even if I did not buy from them.
