The Vantage Guarantee (New motorhomes only)
This non-transferable Guarantee relates only to the motorhome conversion carried out by Vantage. Vantage does not guarantee or offer any warranty on your base vehicle.
The warranty on your base vehicle is between you and your base vehicle manufacturer directly. Any warranty work required to your base vehicle must be carried out by an authorised dealership. Vantage does not undertake this type of work.
On your conversion Vantage guarantees that it will replace or repair at its choice free of charge any part of the conversion that proves defective due to faulty materials or workmanship within a period of 2 years from the date of first registration provided that a full Vantage Habitation Service was carried out and paid for in full within the first I 2 months from registration.
The vehicle must be presented to Vantage at its premises and made available for sufficient time as is required to carry out the warranty work including if necessary time for ordering replacement parts. Vantage does not authorise any other company or persons to carry out any alterations, repairs or warranty work without prior consent given in writing. Any unauthorised work will invalidate your guarantee.
Vantage will not be liable for any expenses incurred as a result of any warranty work being required (eg fuel costs/replacement vehicle costs accommodation/time off work/booking of ferries/campsites etc). It would be expected that any non-urgent warranty work would be carried out at the annual Habitation Service.
All appliances fitted or supplied are subject to the individual manufacturers’ guarantees and Vantage does not offer any guarantee or warranty on any of these items.
Your statutory rights are not affected by anything in this contract which is the entire contract between you and Vantage. The contract terms set out the limit of your liability and the limit of Vantage’s liability.
By placing your order and deposit you agree to accept these terms & conditions.
Vantage will honour the above Guarantee provided all relevant conditions are met
Used Motorhomes
Where the goods being supplied are used (previously owned or ex-demo) it is your responsibility to examine the goods and be aware of such defects that this examination ought to reveal.
We will ensure that a full Habitation Service has been carried out prior to collection and will demonstrate that all relevant parts of the conversion are working during handover.
No warranty is given on a used motorhome either on the base vehicle or the conversion unless agreed in writing at the time of purchase.
