“ NEVER PAY FULL PRICE FOR A NEW CARAVAN WITHOUT SEEING IT FIRST ” – ROB CATALDO
Sylwia immediately began coadminning the Facebook group , Tango Caravan Owners and Victims , as a place of mutual support for everyone who ’ d been affected . She had therefore heard terrible stories from all quarters . As such , when we shared the amazing news – that Nova wanted to build Sylwia a caravan – she immediately felt a sense of guilt .
“ Why should things work out for me ?” she asked . “ There are lots of people suffering as a result of this .”
But sometimes , as Sylwia told herself , it ’ s okay to accept the kindness of strangers . And so , in mid October , I introduced her to the people who wanted so generously to help . In the Nova Caravans meeting room , Rob and Louise Cataldo met Sylwia with open arms .
As part of the discussion that followed , Rob emphasised a key piece of advice for future caravan purchasers : never pay full price for a new caravan without seeing it first .
Of course , that is a decision for which Sylwia and her husband have kicked themselves and argued over since . Ultimately , they concluded it wasn ’ t their fault .
Further , Rob and Louise Cataldo , and of course Sylwia , hope that this might spur other caravan manufacturers to step up to the plate in whatever way they can . There are other people still hurting , and Rob and Louise ’ s thoughts are with them , too .
Though this Nova caravan isn ' t a Revivor , it does have the layout that Sylwia ' s Revivor will have ... and she is delighted with it !
