Thanks Colin, I think I will follow your lead regarding replacement. There seems to be a fundamental problem with the units that strangely only manifests itself when the caravan leaves the factory/dealer.

I've also had floppy cupboard doors. Plastic wood in each of of the srew-holes seems to have cured the problem.

One of mine has changed colour to a green glow...

The Martians are coming!!

Hi
Just collected my 430 from Automotive Leisure Tebay on Monday
During first night's use the led in the front and one of the washroom lights kept flashing
Turned 12 v off to cure
On the second night the light above the main bed and one over the sink did the same thing.
On the third night no problems until morning when I opened the fridge the lights over the cooker came on.
Contacted Automotive Leisure who told me to bring the caravan in on Thursday morning on our way home
They changed two for the switch type.
They had no more in stock and said they would send the other four on to me to fit at home if I was prepared to do it.
Very good service so far.
Homer need to sort this one out asap .

What have the Simpsons got to do with it?

They would be as effective as Hymer right now. This has been going on for some time and typical Hymer arrogance has abandoned the thought of quality product for the end user.

I think that's crap service, all this should be checked pre delivery, especially with the rep that Hymer are gaining now.

Yes definitely an issue! In my case the touch reading light had to be replaced (did it myself) and now got one that works but does not have the power of the original! Had to replace one of them in the bathroom which now has to be put on and off with a punch! I suspect Hymer are letting customers do their research and development and echo eribaMotters concerns

I am now advised (by Lowdham) that Hymer have resolved the issue and either developed or sourced a unit that operates correctly. Replacements are evidently being sent. Until then, I continue to live in a state of unpredictable illumination.

Got new ones from Lowdhams and fitted them myself________so far no problems.

Predictive text is a pain !!

This is terrible to hear that as newer year eriba owners your having to add extra retainer to the screws, and dealing with the light hauntings, good job no one so far has been epileptic

Yes, it's a shame that Hymer's quality control seems to have slipped. I'm still waiting for my replacement light fittings and although I haven't had to ask for replacement doors, I have had the loose screw problem to deal with on all lockers and bathroom door fittings. Plastic wood seems to have resolved the floppy hinge syndrome.

We'll we've had the Troll 3 weeks now and we had all the touch lights come on in the night waking us up and having to turn the 12 vote supply off we also have one that doesn't work at all will be contacting Lawdhams this week to be honest would expect better for what you pay
