Just to add my bit,

Our caravan sold the same day it was advertised (ebay) and the new owner came from the Scottish Highlands, and bought it for the full advertised price,

Despite the credit crunch, my dealer friend tells me new and old vans are going like hot cakes, maybe people aren't going abroad and opting to join us!!

Just about to put our TT for sale and join the dark side ....

We sold our Jamet Louisianne TT and joined the ranks of the shed draggers.  I do miss sleeping under canvas but I don't think I could give up my van.  Everyone asks if I worry about damp and I actually worry about damp far less with a caravan (just going to monitor it regularly to make sure it never becomes a problem!).  I used to constantly worry about the finding damp each time I unfolded the TT despite knowing that I'd left it for ages to dry out before packing it away! 

Don't be shy at asking to check any prospective caravan purchase with a damp meter.  If the seller says no then run a mile.  There are so many ruthless sellers who want the expense of damp repairs to be the next person's headache.  Equally, don't worry if you buy a caravan with damp - just make sure it's reflected in the price.  If you look for the Wizard/Caradad on here and the Fix It Club you'll see it's not such a daunting task to fix.  Good luck!
