Crusader Gladiator CRV Hurricane issues update

[@eaglesnest1960]

Very shoddy work man ship. I was considering one of these vans thank you for posting this video. I ended up buying an MDC HR 16 at least they are welded aluminum frame

@@eaglesnest1960 I think you will find that all manufactures will have teething issues. The van has since been great. Yest a few items still warranty work but none that will stop the trip. The MDC HR 16 is a lot of van for the money, fingers crossed you won’t have any issues. Also interesting enough of all the brands, we have so far seen on our travels the most common are Jaycos and MDCs, we have seen them at every stop we have been to.

Fingers crossed we don't have the same issues with our Hurricane. Best of Luck on your travels & hope to see you around Australia

I’m always on the lookout for any of the CRV series. Yours should be fine,I probably got a Friday build.

[@markeroonie]

maybe a nutsert or rivet will be the way forward for the water heater fixing?

[@TinyOnTour-bm7td]

The glass is too thin it needs a starboard frame either behind the skin or glued to it on the outside.

[@adamjarvis2000]

Great video mate. I went and checked the screws in the hot water surface some of mine where loose also.

[@TinyOnTour-bm7td]

Thanks. I suggest anyone with a composite van check theirs.

Alfred you are a saint ! What a good job you are such a knowledgable bloke, it’s unbelievable that a brand new caravan should have so many build faults. You certainly deserve compensation at the end of this trip to make up for the time spent fixing and trying to fix the problems you’ve had and the stress caused waiting for the next thing to happen. Hope the brakes , cook top and range hood get sorted sooner rather than later .❤

[@TinyOnTour-bm7td]

Cheers Chris it will all get sorted bit by bit. I’m not going to let it get me down.

[@NomiHattingh]

Wow. Hope you get it fixed.

[@TinyOnTour-bm7td]

We will not by bit with or without help from the dealer.

[@TinyOnTour-bm7td]

I mean we will. Bit by bit ….

[@Sawadventures67]

Wow You seem to be having a lot of electrical problems. Not to mention other problems this is very disappointing from an Australian built van. I hope you get it all sorted out. Looking forward to maybe some better news on your next adventure.

[@TinyOnTour-bm7td]

Yes I agree but I will get them sorted eventually. We are still having fun and relaxing in between sorting the issues out, we are not letting them get us down.

[@markgenrich7683]

Never use BMPRO gear its complete rubbish. I would never by a van that uses BMPRO

[@TinyOnTour-bm7td]

@@markgenrich7683 that’s why I opted for Redarc in my van. Just wish Crusader wired it as recommended by Redarc.
