Crusader Caravans Gladiator

Long Journey with a few Bumps – Took just under 12 months to deliver. We could not have first colour choice as later on there apparently was a supply issue. On our first trip there was a water leak which ran down the back window onto kitchen bench. Later 2 power sockets were faulty (one above kitchen bench and one in outer hutch).These were fixed but took quite a while. Some other minor things like door adjustments and new water cap needed. Those were completed and repairers replaced faulty water cap. Recommend double quality control check at factory as these items were ticked off on delivery of the van from the factory. Not all repairers listed by Crusader will do warranty work for them as they will only do services which you pay for of course.

The van has an amazing payload and travels like a dream! The Gladiator is a small van (not much kitchen bench space) but ok for us.The storage is really more than adequate with room to spare. We love this van regardless as it really suits our needs perfectly. This is our second van. Slight bulge is apparent on inside cupboard wall and we were told it is due to temperature and expansion. I can not judge how the exterior will hold up but we receive compliments galore regarding the finish and look of the Gladiator. So recommend that if possible a buyer should purchase the van you like at sale yard as you see what you get immediately.
