Very informative Alfred, great that you are sorting out the problems as you go, by the end of your trip the van will be perfect 👌 keep up the good work mate 😁
Thanks for a great informative video Alfred . You confirmed what I’ve suspected and so disappointing in the WA dealers attitude and lack of pre delivery checks . Looks like you’re on top of it , enjoy your trip 👍
Very informative Alfred, sorry to hear you had battery issues, but glad you got help and got it sorted. Not the kind of problems you want at the start of your trip 🫣
Hello I have just listened to your video, we have recently been away in our new Gladiator Force and the LED lights were very bright , the fix is to unscrew from the wall and there are 3 wires, cut the white wire and tape it up with insulation tape,that will take out the light and the USB will continue to work with the other 2 wires.
We have pop top with a smoke alarm and it does blink red but cant say how often.. thanks for the info we are considering the GF. QC across the industry is very lacking unfortunately 😢 such a shame that 5% more focus on QC would make such a huge difference.
The answer to that is not so simple. I would buy one of the newer designs with the curved back. When I ordered mine I was told it would have the curved back but when it came the had the back wall as a seperate piece, so the van has to sit front low for water to drain. The curved back means the van van can sit level and the AC water and rain water can drain. Also only if Crusader will put it in writing that the electronics selected will be installed as per the manufactures instructions and not just how the installer wants to do it. I would order another with no loo and install a composting loo. Also only if I was assured that all installations of appliances will be secured with Loctite on the screws. The van itself has had no issues, the issues are due to how the appliances were installed.

I must say that the support from the dealer is really lacking. With a new delivery, defects shouldn’t take months of waiting to get attention.
Well done! Very thorough xx
I want your boat!! X
Then watch next week’s video!

All good as long as it can be sorted.
Very technical 👌👌
Fun stuff will be coming in another video shortly.

Yes I agree, it could be a great van if the QC was more consistent. I have another vid coming out next with more issues.
Thank you for your information, very informative, now to check out my Cru Esperance
Not everyone has issues I’m sure some folks received great vans.
would be interesting to know what the tow ball weight is when its full? they are great little vans
Mine is 240kg
The big question .....Would you buy the same caravan again?
