We'd been looking on and off for a few months, decided on a Fleetwood Heritage, went back for a second viewing, thought we'd take a look in the caravan next door as it was new in stock and bought that one instead lol!

well done on finding a van pipwolf, it wasnt in Wolverhampton was it by any chance?? We were on our way to view one yesterday when the seller rang to say the viewer before us wanted it !!!!

However I'm crossing my fingers  as we think we have found our ideal van, going to see it this week (3hr drive away ). Had great communication off the seller (a member on here) who has been really helpful.  If we buy it you lot will be the first to know

Hi all, no it wasnt wolverhampton, it wasnt a sterling by any chance, we booked to view one but cancelled due to this other van viewing being the same time.
We bought a coachman Amara, 5 birth a few years old but its very nice.Just going through the process getting the vin number to hpi check.Got to find a site for this season in wales we are thinking, then i think we will tour next season.Car needs upgrading.
Good luck with your searches,and good to hear your stories.Let me know what van you get sav.

I have to say my experience of owning a Coachman is nothing but positive, great quality and an excellant tug. Sounds like you've done well!

I wanted a specific van so it took me about 8 months to track one down as the Fisher Holivan is getting quite rare these days!

Glad you have found a van pipwolf, looks like you're a bit quicker than us though....sounds like you've bought the same model that we ended up choosing!  Hope you enjoy your first holiday and that all goes well for you.

My wife and i went for a look around on Sunday,we were planning to buy a caravan after i had sold my boat,so far we have been to around 9 dealers and a couple of shows,we were out looking for the van that we would be aiming for anyhow we looked at one dealers list then had lunch before we ended up at a second dealers, as soon as we wealked in some TEC vans caught our attention,we looked in two of them and it was love,so we walked around and checked out all of the other vans and ended up back at the TEC,s my wife was concerned that by the time we sold my boat,we would loose out on what was our ideal van,then she said"would it be us impulse buying again?"  no my dear ,cos we have looked at a couple of hundred and we love this one,so out came the plastic and we bought a TEC welt bumller 515.

 

If you had told me sunday morning that by 4 oclock that day i would have bought a caravan i would have told you that your nuts

Im still trying to get over having to pay 350.00 for a towbar
