Hmmm seems a bit cheap bearing in mind the year.  I know they are no longer trading but even so.  Go and have a look at it, check it over thoroughly including the CRIS registration and if it seems right, go for it.

If you're that close and that keen, then a sneaky look wouldn't hurt.... would it?

Putting you off:

1.  Where will you put it until you sell your van?  It's a big van and will it fit on your drive** or see 6. below.

2.  What else could you spend £11,500 on - a lot more holidays in your current van - or even the odd package holiday or two as well.

3.  It's an enormous van for two people.

4.  Your Trooper will use even more fuel than it does now.

5.  It's a big van to clean the outside!  You'll use even more cleaner and polish.

6.  If it's in storage will your storage site take twin axles - ours won't.

Well you asked to be put off!

2.  What else could you spend £11,500 on - a lot more holidays in your current van - or even the odd package holiday or two as well.hahahah well being female i can spend £11,500 on something i guess!

3.  It's an enormous van for two people. yeah but you havent parked next to us in our current van and been awoken by me shouting at hubby " 20ft of sodding van and it aint far enough away from you!!!!"

4.  Your Trooper will use even more fuel than it does now. arghhhhhhhhh that was an issue we dont talk about, we just leave the credit card at the fuel pumps, in fact i should get a standing order sorted

5.  It's a big van to clean the outside!  You'll use even more cleaner and polish. clllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaan it!! moi!!! i do inside he does out, his problem not mine

6.  If it's in storage will your storage site take twin axles - ours won't. yes they have them and infact they are one of the resons why we started to look for another van as they have parked the twins in front of ours and i cant pull ours out now at all,

Well you asked to be put off!
