Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Am I right in thinking that Airstream no longer have a presence in the UK? Also, as the Puck and Puck lookalikes are so populat in the states, I wonder if they'll reintroduce them?

Swift Group distribute Airstream vans in the UK Roger. They're had an exclusive deal for about two years now. Only the larger Swift dealerships offer Airstreams though. I think it may be that empty shells are shipped to Cottingham from the States and Swift fit them out.

For the past two years I have rented a 32' RV in Alaska. The first was a bunkhouse Minnie Winnie which was top quality. This year we were given a Thor bunkhouse. Within 30 mins I returned it to the rental company and demanded a replacement. The quality was total rubbish, draws slid open, fittings moved when touched and this was brand new! The rental company admitted that their new fleet were to be Thor but had started to regret their choice. I have read since many customers complaining about the quality of the materials used and the build.

This could be the end of an era...

Sounds like Hymer have been successful in finding somebody else that can continue production of vans with doors that fall off etc.

I can see the 'Union and 'Confederate' Eriba Tourings on the horizon.

8ft wide, twin axle, built-in hot tub, one in grey and the other in navy, both with a framed picture of Big John Wayne on the toilet wall.

It's astonishing the amount of companies that are being "swallowed" by US companies over here. Still, it keeps me in work. Sigh.
