Hi pegit.The microlite is a good little van. My mate and his missus has one.Not much advise to give on price but they hold their value really well,and if youre buying from the main dealer in stafford,dont expect too much less than new price for that year.

I have a Freedom Jetstream Prima 2 berth and my wife and I love it, has a little more headroom than the one you are looking at. I also bought from Freedom in Stafford. We call it our tardis looks small on the outside but surprising when inside. If your one does give birth at least you will be able to make a profit when selling them.

Before you are critical of someones grammer, try to learn how to quote posts first.

Birth and Berth are both correct.

Nice one Motely! both spellings correct, just slightly different meanings, but who cares we knew what was meant.

Not wishing to quote a post , could I point out that berth and birth mean two different things, only spellchecker will be unable to see what is wrong. Then again its grammar aint it.

We had a 2005 Freedom Jetstream 1st class which was a two berth with oven/fridge/hob/shower/heater etc, with basic fixtures and upholstery.  Although I do not know the inside fittings of the  microlite, they are all constructed in the same way which provides a dry, light to tow van.  We found that having the sink and (fitted as extra) water heater at the rear of the caravan made it tip back when moving it around and when we towed we had to have heavy stuff in the locker (which is not recommended).  We found after three or four short trips that it was actually too small for us as we liked to lie out on the seats when watching TV, lounging etc and prefer to have the option of not making up a double bed every time.  We changed to the slightly larger van, Lunar Ariva, and that ticks all the boxes for us and is not that much heavier.  We got £4000 p/x against the Lunar.  If you are confident that it will be big enough for your family, then it is quite a good van to have.

These vans tend to hold their money....have you checked on Caravan Finder or C4 caravans to see if there are any similar ones for sale?

The dealership at Stafford asks very high prices.   If you are looking at a private sale, you should get a better deal.  

I know 2 people who have Freedoms but they are a little older than the one you are looking at, so can't really help you with the value.

If anybody is interested in buying a Freedom with all the additional items needed for the caravan, then look at my advertisement in the free adverts under caravans Here. This would be a big saving on buying new and then having to buy all the extras, especially as they now seem to cost £9190 and my one is only six months old. Just like Carol we would like the Ariva or small Bailey for the same reason.

I used to have the Jetstream first class and loved it, The only reason I got rid was I was finding it a bit small. They are warm, quick to heat and easy to tow
