Bit late to start asking about them. You should have researched your Dealer as well. Some of the Dealers out there cannot get hold of your money quick enough. MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU PAY FOR IT that it is exactly what you ordered and that EVERYTHING works. No matter what the salesman says once you leave their premises you are in the hands of the AFTERSALES team who will in some cases thwart your every attempt to get it fixed.
A lot of Dealers like to GET THE PAPERWORK OUT OF THE WAY FIRST. Insist they go through everything first and then you pay. Have fun hope it all works out.

agree with Q4, check thr van against the order fo all those extras you negotiated..
have a look at a habitation checklist and you can use this to ensure everything (not just what you think of) works correctly.
obvious things like, heating and hot water (gas and electric) fridge (gas, electric, 12v) battery charging (all batteries being charged from alternator, 230v hook up, solar panel if fitted).
check all drawers, cupboard catches, bed making (if applicable), check all taps (kitchen, washroom, shower for hot and cold) all external lockers, water tank gauges for accuracy, same with battery readings.
check gas/electric kitchen burners, check oven, microwave, etc, even tpilet flush.
just a few obvious items but try to imagine how youd use the van..
good luck.

You will always get bad reviews on any MH or caravan if you look hard enough, just make sure you check the van on pre delivery and pick up on anything before you sign for it. Could you not take a Motorhome with you, someone you know, they may be better at spotting any negatives before you do. Obviously major problems arise after you have accepted it, l am afraid you will have to deal with the dealer under the warranty, make sure you keep all the necessary paperwork, plus your receipt of invoice. Good luck l am sure everything will be fine, l had issues with every new caravan we bought all were put right by the dealer.

We took delivery of an Elddis dealer special 155 April last year. Overall the Motorhome has performed well, not without its niggles and warranty issues, all sorted out by my dealer.
I think they are great value for money looking at similar models from uk manufacturers.
there is a Facebook group called Elddis Motorhome owners, good friendly group with lots of help and tips

All the best Motoroamer with your new van, we have just changed from a caravan to a motorhome, not regretted one minute of it. We take advantage of the cheap prices Monday to Friday its normally quieter, plus we can get in the sites that are usually booked up at the weekends have good week at Malvern try and walk a couple of them fantastic views to the welsh mountains and across the countryside and beyond.
