Hi dianebb72, If it is possible, Why not get hubby to see if he can take the uncle’s caravan for short haul, and test it on some hilly road to find out if his car will pull it, if test is satisfactory, then all you need do is clean it,  remember and use your own van number plate.

Hi John, it's me who does the towing and I have already said to hubby that it'd be a good idea to give it a tow before committing to anything, I'll just have to work my magic on him

Hi, Well if your hubby is the same as me, I ware the trousers in this family, and the good lady only tells me which ones to ware.

I would suggest that you walk away from this.

We bought a nearly new car a few years ago which was a demo. I said to the garage that somebody had been smoking in it and they agreed to give the car a complete clean. When we had it it smelled O.K but after a couple of weeks the smell came back.

I tried everything to get rid of it but couldn't and in the end we sold it in part exchange. It was not as bad as a caravan would be as at least we didn't live in it.

The smell gets into everything. The furniture, the bedding, the carpets etc etc and no amount of cleaning will get rid of it.

Some dealers will not take a van in part exchange if there is a smell of pets or smoke.

Can't say I blame them.

Was exactly my first thought. A heavily smoked in van will have hidden stale smoke smells due to it getting into the fabric of the van effectively. Its probbaly taken years of smoking to get it into that state and will take forever tring to rid it eventually, especially as vans spend a long time closed up and "sealed"
