Can any one help I have just been to look at a caravan and at the front the bodywork appears to have a crack where the body work changes shape about 8inches below the window, and the external pain around is flaking off / crazing, total area is about a foot long and 3 or 4 inches wide.... I guess this could be repaired but should I be more concerned before buying, the van is only 4 years old so could this be a bad sign?

Any advice please. Many Thanks.

If its showing cracks like that at four years old, Id walk away.

Actually, Id run!

I'm with Jeff on this one.  I wouldn't touch it.  Can't understand why the present owned has not had it fixed under warranty/

Good point David.  Either he hasnt had it serviced annually (in which case I would still walk away from a van of that age, shows a definte lack of care IMO) - or could even be he doesnt actually own it?

Either way, plenty of other vans out there without such obvious problems.
