Hiya,

Here's where we got our van from & he has a couple of 4 berths at £995.  They're both 20+ years old but say they're in good condition.

Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole after our experience with them!!!

Lots on Ebay last time I looked. Try going to your dealer & asking what he does with the older vans. I believe there's auction centres selling caravans now so perhaps that's where the traders go. Have a word with the salesman, he might tell you more than one of the bosses at big dealerships. He might even be able to find you a van.

we had a look round at glossop caravans on sunday, they had loads of vans in under a grand.some where rough though.i think ebay is your best chance, you may get some gear with it as well.

good luck

Tim - get the Wharfedale!   There's nearly always a few vans advertised in there, and a few weeks ago a 5 berth was advertised complete with full kit.  We were looking out for a new van late last season, and saw a Bailey Indiana advertised in the Wharfedale, at a really good price.  We went to see it - but decided it was marginally too heavy for our existing car.  We're still kicking outselves because we should have bought it, and changed cars!

I'll keep a look out on supermarket notice boards, too - always a good source of caravan-related adverts!  Do you store at Coney Park?  There are a couple of 'For Sale' notices on the vans up there.  I'm going up there this morning, stocking the van to take away shortly, and I'll have a look around and see what's on offer.

Tim, had a look around today - and nothing at all that's likely to be in your price bracket I'm afraid.

Have you had a look on this Forum's For Sale section, or on Practical Caravan and Caravan Finder? 

hi we got our Swift Rapide 4 berth with awning and extras last week off ebay for 850 it is fantastic really clean dry and dent free, we only had to travel 70 miles to get it but was well worth it, another identical one went the next day for only 600 what a bargin, try putting in a 50 mile radius and a limit on what you will spend and it makes trawling through alot easier

good luck in finding one
