1twen1 - I think things must have changed a little as I've just randomly looked at several caravan Classified Ads and they're all in Mobile/Touring Caravans.

There's no difference between classified ads on eBay and ads in your local paper. Shame you had a bad experience with buying your first van. If you did'nt know anything about caravans, you really should have taken someone with you who did.

yes i know now to take someone with me, but i think i would go to a dealer from now on were you are getting a warrinty on the van .and get replys from your phone calls when you need help on using the caravan for the first time lol.
