Hi there

We are new to camping so please be gentle lol.

We have seen a tt that we are very interested in on ebay and are hoping to go and view it at the weekend hopefully he will not sell it before then as its on a buy it now and auction option. My question is what sort of things should i be looking for as to wear and tear its a 2004 Jamet.

Thanx

Look for holes in the canvas (however small); repairs to canvas (should look professional and certainly not just doen with some tape); poles should not bent at all or have kinks in them; no signs of damage to exterior (suggesting a crash); no mould on canvas; any pipework for gas should be free from dents and kinks; tyres should have legal tread depth (1.6mm across middle of tyre) and not show any cracks or bulges (if everything else is fine but tyres need replacing then don't discount buying it, but you will need to get them replaced before taking it on to the road - you can get a fine of upto £2500 and 3 point son your licence for each defective tyre).

Also look for any signs of cracking or stress on the chassis .

Great advice above,

Also maybe get them to erect in front of you maybe you could help this would give you a good feel for it.

We also checked the mattress's for staining etc. And the legs wind up and down ok on the trailer.

Goodluck
