Nova ' s excellent Pro-Al walls .
Our interview caught the eye of Nova Caravans owners Rob Cataldo and his wife , Louise , two people whose kindness can be measured by their actions . Upon watching our interview with Sylwia last month , Rob and Louise were incredibly saddened and felt moved into action .
“ I watched the interview and sent it to Rob , and said there must be something we can do ,” Louise said .
Rob agreed . “ My heart went out to Sylwia , her husband and their two kids . I can ’ t imagine what that must have been like .”
Rob contacted us at GoRV with an amazing offer . Both he and Louise wanted to build Sylwia a van , free of charge . They weren ’ t in a position to help every Tango victim , but they felt they could help Sylwia – a gesture both generous and life-changing .
“ We couldn ’ t stand on the sidelines ,” Rob said . “ What has happened is horrible . Buying a caravan is supposed to be exciting and rewarding . We wanted to do something to help them feel a little of that excitement after such a devastating experience .”
FEELINGS OF GUILT
When news of Tango ’ s demise hit , it was a gut-punch for dozens of people . Tango customers had paid large deposits , while some , including Sylwia , had paid the full amount on the understanding doing so would prioritise work on their van . Would all of these customers lose their money ? Where did it all go ? Reports of marriage breakdowns surfaced , while others spoke of the blow to their mental health .
