Wildax Pulsar continued

Not sure about camapervans but there was a thread that all motor vehicles are subject to significant delays due to micro chips being in short supply?

Personal experience of delays for cars.

It’s generalised, L&M. The shortage of semiconductors is delaying production of the Sevel base vehicles and motor vehicles in general.

We were lucky in grabbing a Ducato that Wildax had on order and, although it hadn’t been imported at the time we ordered, Wildax were only a week late on the original estimated delivery date. 

I feel certain the delay with yours will be beyond Wildax's control.

I have reported elsewhere that Autosleepers are only able to produce half of the motorhomes and PVCs which they want for 2022. Also, repairs this year are significantly delayed to due unavailability of spare parts.

With covid still around ,it can affect opening and production for many companies

thanks for the replies.  I suspected it was a more widespread problem and I have no problem at all with Wildax or the dealer we bought the van from, just for the record. How is your Pulsar behaving Mr. Tinwheeler? Have you done any longer trips in it?

It's behaving fine, thanks.

We took it right across country to Norfolk last month with no trouble at all and it was a joy to park👍.

I hope yours turns up before too much longer.

Our Constellation 3XL was 8 months between order and delivery and even then, given some of the stories you hear, we considered ourselves fairly lucky........

Was that recently during the current difficulties?

Very much so, yes...

Ordered in October 2020 delivered end of May 2021.

Just been looking at a Swift Caravan with our daughter this morning, dealers quoting up to May 2022 delivery so again an eight month wait for a fairly ordinary caravan.....

Thanks. I believe there was a delay in producing the base vehicles due to covid at one point so maybe yours was caught up in that.

Luckily, ours (Fiat auto) had already been built so we only had to wait for it to be imported and converted. April - June this year.

I thought I recognised your avatar😀😀
