Do you have one on sport???

No really If you measure the thickness of the panel i think they will help you out

There's a really good place in Blaenavon for spare parts, on the way to Big Pit. I know its a bit far for you, but they have a website. They do spare parts for all sorts of caravans, new and old. Its called Caravanbreakers.

I have no idea whether £5500 is good for a 2003 but if you're not absolutely sure about whether you want to take the plunge, I'd go for the cheaper one. Maybe you can beat them down a bit (end of season isn't so good a time to sell as beginning of next) and if all else fails you won't have wasted too much money, you can still flog it on ebay!

I bought an old cheapy for our first one and after a couple of years we bought a brand new one. Personally I wouldn't spend £5500 on a van if I thought I'd upgrade in a couple of years, I'd only pay it if I thought I'd be hanging on to it for a good while.

I've been absolutely no use whatsover have I?

Best of luck with the decision!

Normally i'd say go for the cheapest to someone who isn't sure what layout they will need but as you've had a caravan before you will have some idea whether the layout will suit you.  Once you've seen the cheaper one you will have more of an idea whether you want that one or not.  If you are tempted to buy that one without seeing the other one then you will have made your own mind up but if once you've seen the cheaper one but still wonder whether the other one would be better then you probably don't want the cheaper one.  Have i made sense there lol

Let us know how you get on tomorrow :)

If i where you take a trip to a dealer and have a look at as may styles of layout as poss...even if you have not intent on buying.At least that way you know what you want and any compromises you may have to make!!!

It is a hard decision thou

By the way it wasn't a real rant as there was no swearing!!!

The Rialto is a really popular van, not a bad size bathroom and the bunks aren't too weeny. Just make sure you check it out for damp properly.  Good to hear you seem to have come to a decision, sort of!

Where is the site you're hoping to get on? The site I was on last year (for 4 years) always has loads of room if you're stuck. Its about 5 minutes up the road from Folly Farm. Owner can be a picky pain in the arse and the leccy supply is only 6amps, but its a beautiful site with plenty of room for kids to run around or ride bikes. You can't leave the awning up though.

If you're stuck, drop me an email at my website (click on "Contact Us") and I'll give you the full details.
