With £3k to play with I'd be looking at private/classifieds rather than a dealer !

I would look for a private sale. You will get more for your money and maybe a few extras thrown in.

Thanks for all the replies. It looks as if JR Leisure will be top of my list to visit. I will let them know that they are well thought of. If I dont get any joy there I think I will look to the private sales. I am just a bit worried about buying privately. So any top tips would be gratefully received, I shall search this site for any threads.

Hi there .. We would recommend the Redlion Caravan Centre Ltd in Ormskirk.  They sell new and used caravans, are very helpful and the used caravans come with a 3 month warranty.  We have purchased from this company and have been well satisfied with their services, they also offer advice on maintenance, equipment, etc.,

well...we've now collected our van from JRleisure (castlecroft - Radcliffe) and been on our first weekend away....which was fantastic!  When I picked it up, I told them I knew absolutely nothing about caravans, and Trevor and John kindly spent 2 hours educating me and handing over the van. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and I'm very grateful.

Glad you got yourself sorted.  I think its swings and roundabout when choosing a caravan, either private or dealers.  Always advisable to go with others epxeriences though .. happy caravanning GH02.
