I sold a car some years ago, that was still subject to a finance agreement. I simply had the buyer make out the cheque to the finance company & the rest to me. I got the finance company to confirm the amount to him over the phone while he was with me.
If you want to save £5 get someone who is a Caravan Club member to ring up for the CRIS cheque...its £9.95 instead of the normal £14.95 for Caravan Club members.
In your position I'd not be too worried, as long as you take receipted possession of the caravan, & make the payment direct to the finance company (obviously with the necessary acknowledgement from them that the debt is cleared etc). If its the caravan for you then its worth the the extra hassle, & of taking the right precautions etc. We paid £8k in cash for ours, to a private seller. I'd done the CRIS check etc & all came back good etc, but you have to use your instinct on these things, walk away if anything is not quite right.
