I have a good friend who has a 2016 Elddis Crusader Storm 2016 yr model, which when exposed to hot weather has an issue that the side wall seems to expand away from the internal cabinates/furniture. When it cools down the gap seems to close up again. He has just had to send Elddis loads of photos for the warranty claim, but wondered if anyone else has suffered from the same issue with their Elddis Solid caravan ???

    Friends of ours had a problem with a pre solid Elddis crusader.  Their problem was eventually trace iirc to the seal on the Tv aerial leaking.  I don't think it had ever been sealed. Resulting in the side wall swelling and the furniture coming away. It resulted in the van having to be rebuilt.

    I have a 2016 Elddis Crusader Aurora which has the bowing sidewall problem. It is also associated with "banging" as the sun hits the caravan first thing in the morning. The supplier has put additional fixings on the sidewall but that has doubled the amount of banging. Another "expert" has said "that is what happens".

    Anyone else had a similar experience? Any fixes?
