HEARTBREAK OVER ZONE

I just learned about the Zone RV collapse and I am heartbroken for the customers. I have read some horrible stories about people losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the question needs to be asked: why is this being allowed to keep happening? This is not the first time a caravan company has collapsed and left its customers in the lurch. Remember: it’ s not just that they’ re not getting their caravan, it’ s that they had already paid for it and in many cases even given a VIN number. Imagine the psychological and emotional damage that would take on a person. Time will tell what happened at Zone RV and why it appears they couldn’ t pay their creditors. Meanwhile, I hope something is done to prevent this sort of shocking thing from happening again.

Thanks, David, I completely agree. I also hope that the ACCC will take all appropriate legal action if it is revealed that the director of Zone RV and any other officeholders committed any form of malpractice. – Ed

IT ' S AN EMBARASSMENT

The Zone situation is honestly heartbreaking. Australia – and Victoria in particular – is home to some of the world’ s largest caravan manufacturers, yet the industry remains one of the most poorly regulated. It paints a really embarrassing picture of Australia on the global stage.

How much more needs to happen before the Australian government and other authorities step in and take action?

Note to readers: Sylwia Logan was one of the victims of the Tango collapse, though Nova Caravans stepped up to provide the family with a new van free of charge. She was, however, one of the lucky ones, with countless others deprived of the new caravan they had paid for.
