Hi it depends on what your looking for.We started caravaning a few years ago.Started out by buying a cheap van doing it up and selling on with a profet.We have been doing this until september this year when finally we was able to buy the van we wanted.The way things are at the moment i would say you are in a good position to buy a nice van for that.

both our vans have been cheap ones so far, the first cost £200, this one £300both been absolutly fine for their age, a few bits needed sorting on both vans,

our next one we are aiming on spending similar to you, and hope to upgrade a touch at the same time.

Hi good luck with your caravan hunting , but PLEASE PLEASE DO A CRIS CHECK FIRST !!!! And don`t get caught like and end up with a stolen van and looks like i`am goin to loose it .

Get yourself a Damp Meter and learn how to use it properly. IE Practise with ot before you go to view vans.

We bought a 4 berth Abbey Oxford for £1200. We thought we had got a bargain when we saw a dealer selling the same van, same age for £3200.

Well it took us a year to find out what mugs we had been. It wiz that damp it should have been a fish tank!!!!

Not all straight talkin' guys with nice wee wuman fur wifes are as honest as the day is long.

May the buyer beware!!!!!!

We paid 1k for a 1991 Buccaneer off eBay and its immaculate, so well made and looks like the seats have never been sat on. We pay £20 a month for storage in a barn on a local farm.

Remember to keep a bit of cash back to buy any bits and pieces for the van and maybe an awning, we were also very lucky on eBay and got a £1500 isabella one for £250.
