Hello. We got a 2007 Nuevo ES last weekand have so far spend two nights and 650 miles in it.
Observations. Keeping revs down to 2000rpm and under returns 30mpg - although this shows as 32mpg on the trip computer.
The sliders for the bed are a bad fit and will need modification.
The wrap over cupboard door sticks on the contents - I think maybe the back has been removed.
The radio switches off after around 15 mins when the ignition is off.
The power sockets at the front are off when the ignition is off.
The 12v socket at the back is marked L/N instead of +/-.
The water pump is noisy
The touch screen controller seems temperamental and fiddly.


I can fix some of the above, and I'm sure I'll find ideas here.


Lest you think I'm a moaner - these are minor niggles and I am delighted with my new van

Hi Aethelric, welcome to the forum wave 
As for being a moaner, I think a Saxon king is entitled to a little whinge now and again content

The radio switches off after around 15 mins when the ignition is off.

This can be adjusted on the radio settings and is not the 30 min shut off that annoys owners

The power sockets at the front are off when the ignition is off.

Assume you have the 12v switch on, possible a fuse has blown  or if you are meaning Mains Sockets then
the trip may have activated

The 12v socket at the back is marked L/N instead of +/-.

Does this matter ?  L = +   N = -

The water pump is noisy     

Could be air in the sytem worth checking before more drastic action

I've seen a few posts on that. I'll have a go.

Its the cigar and 180w power sockets on the dash. They are off when the ignition is off. The 12v sockets in the habitation area seem to be off when travelling. A pain for charging phones etc.

Not really - been an electronic engineer all my life, - I still had to check with a meter that L=+. Its not in the manual.

I'll look into that Roger.
