We have bought a caravan and it was financed with a proper finance company we always use - so will have been checked hpi etc - so is proper! 

But what paper work do you get with a caravan as we haven't got like a log book you get with a car??  Are you supposed too????

you need the CRIS DOCUMENTS from your seller or from CRIS.you will want to sell it one day and will be asked for this.

Change of Keeper Notification

When you buy or sell your caravan it is important to ensure the new owner is properly registered as the keeper. The Touring Caravan Registration Document (CVR6) issued to the current keeper should be used to notify CRiS of any keeper change. Like the V5 document for your car, the CVR6 should be completed by both, seller and buyer and both parts sent to CRiS. There is a small fee for processing this change and it is normally the new registering keeper who would pay this. The fee as at 3rd September 2007 £12 is £14.95 now. This can be paid by calling the CRiS Team on 01722 411430.

All very confusing isn't it!  I agree they should be reg with dvla or an equivalent!  It must be ok as the finance company wouldn't have lent on it - we'll chase the company up where we got it from - also a large company.

Thanks for the info
