Happened upon this site this evening and would just like to say hello. We bought an Autosleeper Mezan in 2004 when they first came out. If I say we were first time camper van buyers I can just hear the groans go up. It was a very steep learning curve.
Information on just about everything in the van was lacking. The lockable fresh water tank cap didn't work and needed to be replaced; the internal handle escucheons fell off; the internal window frame that held the blind/mosquito net was on upside down. These were all easily sorted out but the daddy of problems was a leaking fresh water tank - that was a nightmare.
The dealer was fantastic up to the point he received our money and then he didn't want to know. Anyhow, to cut a long, long story very short we got it sorted in the end.
We've had some fantastic trips in Daisy - Scotland and some of the islands, with yet another trip planned for up there in October; Switzerland; Several trips to France, including Haute Provence and the wonderful Gorge de Verdon, where a small van really came into its own. Plus, of course, all the short breaks we've had.
The rear sensors we had fitted eliminated the problem with the lack of a rear view mirror.
Looking forward to reading about everyone else's experiences.
