Launched in
September 2003 - Geist is the first new caravan and motorhome brand on the British
market for over 20 years.
Geist
Owners was set-up in January 2004 to develop the social aspects of Geist ownership,
whilst providing a source of
unbiased information for both new and prospective
purchasers. Now
that this website has been running for three years, sufficient
time has elapsed that any serious problems with these products,
should have been revealed via the owners feedback. The
feedback from many Geist Owners is that their decision to purchase
a Geist was not surprisingly that they liked the products.
However, in many cases this choice was also influenced by a lack
of confidence in British brands. In many cases problems with water
ingress, wall/floor de-lamination and general build quality, had
driven the decision to buy German. Those
of us who bought the early Geist's took a great deal on trust,
that the promise of Germanic build quality would be more than a
clever marketing ploy. Three years on, has our trust been repaid ? - Well in short yes. Whilst
some of the early caravans were subject to a recall by BPW for a
chassis modification, this has been the only real issue. We have
not had a single report of water ingress or any form of
de-lamination. How many British brands could say the same ?. Three
years on, Geist themselves are going through an evolution, building
on these three years of success. 2007 sees Geist making an unprecedented
change to direct sales, significantly reducing their dealer base (read
