I know I love our caravan to bits even though shes very old and not big shes so sweet but I allways thought others just saw an old cavavan. but apparantly when i was out today a couple have aclled at the houes asking to buy the caravan. hubyy just explained selling the van was more than his life was worth lol. but its nice to know someone else loves the old dear aswell. but just to be on the safe side i have put an extra lock and chain on here lol

Good idea cos the first thing i thought when i read that was "oh no" they probably want to pinch it.  Glad to hear that you are putting extra security on her.

I've got a brand new 'van but i'm still interested in everyone else's 'van.  After all we started off with a 30 year old 'van and we will never forget her or the 18 year old one that came after :)  As long as you love her that is all that matters :)

  my little old vans locked up like fort knoxs  and the car parked in front of it yet the newish van round the corner doesnt even have a bike chain on it. That would scare me.

I've had two people ask recently if my van was for sale - once when I was out there washing it and then a knock at the door the other day. Both were Irish travellers. The second one said someone had told her there was a caravan for sale in my road and mine's the only one.

I love older vans too. I won't come and nick it though. My husband can only break things and was certainly not born with a tool kit in his hands. If it was ours, it would be covered in moss .

Now that would worry me.

People usually put a sign on when a caravan is for sale.

My Dad (bless him, at 81) went around looking at vans and knocking on doors to ask for a look inside and whether they were for sale... I had a devil of a job explaining why he shouldn't do that!

last year a chap knocked on our door and asked to buy our 6 year old van - I was stunned. We live in a very tucked away cul-de-sac so how he even knew we were here worried my for ages! We got very vigilent after that but he may have been geniune - who knows, I wouldn't sell my beloved van anyway!
