sometimes tyres just seal properly first time. I had tyres fitted to my car a month or 2 back, the following morning one of them was flat, as they tyres were fitted on my drive the car hadn't moved since the tyre was fitted ..... life's like that sometimes.
As for the repair, I'd not expect a tyre to be replaced if for some reason it'd simply been punctured .... new caravan or not.

a new tyre the reason caravan quality is going downwards is because we except shody work i cant understand why anyone would buy a brand new caravan and except a repair with it even moving thats just maddness

I agree with you 100% CM, if I paid out all that money I’d not accept that id been palmed off with a repaired Tyre, repaired badly at that. It is an insult to the owner😕

Use the spare until a new one can be fitted, safety is paramount.

I would think any tyre repair depot ;would examine the tyre before any repair is carried out, to check for sidewall damage ,if the tyre had been driven flat
The case that is what the OP is about may well not have been near a tyre depot? hence not having been sealed ,and as posted the puncture may well have happened in transit from the manufacturer to the dealer, ,and the dealer "mended?" the puncture
If the owner has proof of a previous inadequate repair then I would take it up with their dealer

I agree but, I prefer to make my own decision JVB and consider the cost saving over new ad repair to be insignificant in the overall scheme. Maximum saving about £100. Cost extra of replacement probably adds £10 a year to overall running costs giving the rarity of punctures for me.
Not all tyre and repair outlets are reliable or thorough in their actions.

i think were missing the point either the dealer or manufactor thought it would be ok to repair it with out even telling the owner that is how low regard they think of us when my wife range rover went wrong the dealer came and collected the car left her another car when it was returned it was fully valeted and a bunch of flowers when our caravan as a fault we have to return it to the dealer at our exspensive and time off work as many dont except vans at weekends then keep our fingers crossed we get it back before your next break not even a replacement while yours is in for repair

No worries👍🏻, I don’t like being short changed. The Isuzu has an engine tuned so it doesn’t need adblue. I always choose practicality over bling😊
