Would recommend Kinnens to anyone.

The whole experience was great when we purchased our VW California campervan from Kinnens, from the first meet and greet by Jamie to the day we collected the vehicle .No pressure to buy and as much time as we needed to look at the vehicle ,and a test drive made easy by Ryan the owner.Not only that but after service was fantastic we had some minor issues which were rectified without fuss .Their in house team especially Kevin who took time to show how things worked and solved any problems we had.All in all a great experience a five star review.Dennis and Lynne.

Excellent experience

I had called in several times to Kinnens as its close to work but wanted a particular model Bailey Cadiz fixed bed.spoke with Ryan a few times and few weeks later had one in bang on buget and unmarked condition no pressure to buy and he helped no end with the way we bought the van also put in a starter kit..and delvered it to our house..we found one small issue with the fridge which between us was sorted under warranty. Rayns father inlaw was also exceptionally helpful over the fridge issues.. I would recommend in a heart beat..

Miss sold

Trading standards are now investigating ! Reserved a caravan as we was told someone else was going to see it we paid £500;which on their website says refundable £250 so don't know why we paid more, wasn't given any cancellation derails or policy , nothing just a peice of paper with the price & description of caravan
If the deposit says refundable then it should be refundable, regardless
It's miss selling , miiss leading & false advertising!
Even after we paid the £500 we noticed the caravan was still advertised as available & for sale over a week later., so not sure wether this happens regularly.
UPDATED UPDATED! RESPONSE TO KINNENS CARAVANS MANCHESTER
Thank you for your response, you really do need to make it clear that a deposit placed isn't refundable rather than the wording you advertise on your website, at no point did you say any money paid was Non Refundable & after we paid the £500 the caravan still was advertised for sale afterwards, had we had known this we would've just paid the £250 & booked a day to view rather than rush in the final hour on a Sunday.
It is quite naughty so if anyone thinking of putting any money down be sure to ask the question & not assume as advertised on their website that even to secure ITS NON REFUNDABLE ! Picture of the advertisement , prior to them changing

Good Afternoon Lisa,

Thanks for leaving another review - on another platform.

As explained the 'refundable deposit' you refer to on the website is a reservation deposit that holds the caravan until viewed. If, once the caravan is viewed, you decide not to proceed with the sale then this deposit is 100% refundable.

In your particular case you came into the forecourt three weeks ago, viewed the caravan and left a £500 deposit to proceed with the sale (which is then non-refundable as the vehicle had then been viewed in person.) This £500 non-refundable deposit holds the caravan until the full balance has been paid.

I explained at the time that the balance had to be paid by 22/09/23 - which was longer than we would usually expect (our policy is 5 working days) as we tried to be accommodating to fit in with the sale of your house. We have since had no communication and moved forward thinking that the sale was still going ahead, servicing the caravan on your behalf.

Over the two weeks after leaving your deposit, we declined three potential buyers for your caravan on the basis that it was already sold and we had a deposit.

I called you on 24/09/23 which was two days later than we had agreed for the full balance to be paid, and you explained that your husbands sister had taken ill and that you would call us back.

The following day 25/09/23 we sent you a reminder email to pay your final balance to which you called us back and explained that you were no longer proceeding with the sale.

I explained that the deposit you left was an 'in-person' deposit and that it was non-refundable.

I hope this helps with your misunderstanding.

Kind regards
Ryan

10/10 for Kinnens

It’s been a long journey to purchase my first caravan, and I can’t thank Ryan and the family at Kinnens enough for making it an easy and enjoyable experience, from my first glance, to actually towing her away today, Ryan has been my rock, and I know that I’ll have more stupid questions for him, but he’s such a gentle soul, I know he’ll answer them all for me.
If I had to rate the whole experience, I’d give it a 15 out of 10, and when the time comes to upgrade, I’ll have no hesitation at giving Ryan a call, I can’t thank him enough 🇦🇺

Great family run business

Just went in search of my first caravan, from the minute I stepped onto the lot, and met most of the family lol, everything was made easy, I’m so glad I did my research and ended up at Kinnen’s, thanking you for all your help Ryan.

Great service great price.

Just picked up our first caravan from Kinnens. The service was excellent nothing was too much trouble for Ryan and Andrew who showed us everything working and where very patient with our questions. The price we paid was considerably less than other similar vans for sale in the area they even stored the van for us while we had our tow bar fitted. Would use again.

Fantastic friendly service

The whole process of purchasing a caravan was made extremely easy and stress-free. We popped down at the weekend and were free to browse all of the caravans without any sales pressure, all of our questions regarding the van we liked were answered and again felt no pressure to purchase. Once we decided to buy the van we liked, we provided a list of small repairs we wanted to be looked at and all of them were completed within a few days and the van was ready for collection. The handover was easy and everything on the list was ticked off. Gareth was amazingly helpful in answering any questions we had.

Kinnens is a great place to buy a caravan or camper ..

Kinnens is a charming, small family business. Ryan is very easy to deal with. He is attentive, reasonable and wants you to be informed and happy. He’s not your usual salesman and does not pressure you into any purchases. There’s a terrific selection a caravans and campers - all well priced, clean and cared for. Thanks Ryan. We love our camper. Thanks for making it happen and holding it for me.

Shocking Service

The guy who owns the company put a bid on Ebay for my caravan which was successful, then asked many questions that were made clear in the advert.
then he wanted more information all of which i provided.
He cancelled the caravan pick up and now won't answer my calls.
would not recommend this company at all.
His behaviour was rude and demonstrated no manners.
