We purchased an Avan Ovation Motorhome and have trouble with our electric bed. We have been dealing with Lyn Dillon from service and have to say she has been excellent. Chases up the parts needed and calls you back. Kratzmann are lucky to have her on their staff.

The pre delivery checks wasn’t carried out to the standards we expect.Otherwise the wiring fault behind the panels to the hot water system would’ve been rectified. The work carried out by Kratzmann sub contractors is awful. I feel sorry for the service staff, they’re the ones who have to deal with our complaints, all because of very poor after sales service allowed by senior management.

Buying the vehicle and hand over excellent, very professional
On delivery of our Motor home the fresh water key was broken they tried to get just a key, could not get one Eddie booked me in for a new lock and key with hesitation, this was good service
Have also the fresh water connection leaking this is covered under the 30 day delivery warranty
Preparation of the vehicle for delivery could not fault
Handover: Jackson was excellent
Warranty, Eddie can not fault

If you want to buy a Franklin Caravan don't go to Kratzmann in Burgenbury near Brisbane. Go direct to Concept in Melbourne or another agency. The service is absolutely appalling. Very disappointed with them.

Do not back up products sold.
Do not complete warranty items even after having my van for 4 weeks.
Gave them a list to repair and they completed halfof one repair. No service

I took our Caravan in for 12mth service. Had warranty concerns Kratzmann had Van for 3 mths. (Insurance work also) told Eddie had issue with Battery Charger and Microwave they could not find fault and he refused to leave van on to 240v before I picked up the van to see what was happening. As soon as I got home connected Van to power and the fault appears within 6hrs. Sent off video to Show problem and will be replaced and installed by Advenure Caravans Slacks Creek. Please look at other service providers not worth the hassle.

I don't know how Kratzmans stay in business. We have travelled around Australia and nobody likes them. Everyone says the same thing, "once you buy a caravan from them, that is it. You will not get any after sales service. They continually fob you off over the phone." They are not interested in you once the caravan leaves their yard. My strongest recommendation (on behalf of all caravaners) is, DO NOT BUY A CARAVAN FROM KRATZMANS.

Rang to order part for my Goldstream. Told to send request via email. Almost 1 month now with no follow up email to let me know whats happening.I have also sent follow up email as well with no response.When I did call the just told me that they would let me know when their supplier got back to them. They have no idea about customer service in their parts department. Would not recommend this company to get parts from

We have been utterly disappointed in the after sales from Kratzman. Avan, 3 days old, door latch broke, Kratzman suggested, purchase a new one on line, as he wasn’t sure, what actually was broken. DUH. This was the 3rd problem, one a day; at this rate??? Made a phone call to Avan Loganholme, to find [name removed], very intuitive and he had the latch in stock, a quick trip to Loganholme, for a pickup, also I was gifted with a spare tyre cover, which when I inquired about one from Kratzman, was told “Don’t supply“.
Beggars Belief.
Guess where we will be getting our Avan serviced?

If I wrote down all the problems we have had with workmanship and customer service from Kratzmann this product review would be the size of the Harry Potter series of books.
But the most disturbing part is the condescending laughing at you whist you trying to explain what is the matter with your van after their failures to correctly fix problems.
This product review is to reflect our personal experience and highlight the heartbreak, frustration and humiliation that we have endured whist having our pride and joy service and repaired from Kratzmann Caravans.

Chris and Dale helped us with a second-hand warranty issue. They understood our concerns, communication was frequent and our concerns were resolved. Thank you Kratzmann Caravans.

Don’t buy a van from this company, no customer service no after sales no nothing they take your money with a smile and told us I am going on holidays now can you leave now /the list of work not done on the van would take to long to put on here. This company are worst than used car salesmen warning don’t buy from crap man. One star i really wanted to give a half star.

Big mistake not reading reviews before committing to purchase. The salesman was good until he got the "deal". Wasn't there for signing of contract so we had another salesman who wasn't happy about doing someone else's sale. Changed settlement date 3 times even though we had a specific date on contract. When we picked it up there was no "Jack" 6 days later still haven't got it. Now there is a electronic problem we haven't even gone anywhere.

Our experience reflected a culture similar to that which give used car sales people an adverse reputation. Basically the sales pitch is rosey and persuasive, yet when issues are raised after entering a purchase contract, such as the necessary modifications to the tow vehicle, then no apology or flexibility is encountered. Don't be fooled by the sale pitch. If you buy, double check all important info with an independent source before making any commitment to these people. The helpful people on staff are not authorised to deal with sales issues, so buyer beware !
