Having discussed things with SWMBO, I'm looking to buy a cheap folding caravan (Hard sided).

Apart from the obvious places (Wanted ads on this website, ebay etc) where is a good place to look? The local yellow classifieds paper has thrown up a blank. 

I want to spend as little as possible until we can be sure this is for us, so a private sale is probably going to be a cheaper option than going through a dealer.

Any ideas? Any recommended dealers in the Hampshire area?

Thanks all! 

Hi

Got mine from ebay.  Have a look in your local paper, and go to view any suitable folding caravans to give you some idea of size etc.

Let us know when you find one.
