Advice/knowledge on Dethleffs Advantage 2002
Hi
we were wondering if anyone could give us their thoughts or knowledge on this.......we have just got our motorhome back today after some damage repair. We went through our insurance who arranged the repairs etc. It was with the garage three months waiting for a window to be ‘built’ by the manufacturer. When we picked it up today the new window is a different colour. It’s grey tinted and all our other windows are brown tinted. When we complained they have said that’s all that’s available from the manufacturer now. To cut a long story short they tried to claim they must have had grey windows when new and the brown windows are weather bleached due to the age of the motorhome! Or that’s the best that can be done.
i won’t go into the details but we were never consulted during the repairs in fact they never rang us once I had to do all the ringing etc. So to say we are not happy is an understatement. To add insult to injury I think the insurance is siding with them although they have promised to investigate.
So finally my question is.......were the original windows grey? Could the weather bleach ALL the windows to the exact shade of brown tint from grey? Has anyone had any similar experiences. I believe our motorhome will have depreciated considerably due to this as it is clear they are different colours.
Any thoughts welcome.
