Hi orville.

           We have the Typhoon ex 300 1996 4 berthand only paid 1400 for it, if the one your looking at has the end bathroom check out the shower section as we had damp in this part and it was due to the arwning rail which i have fixed and now waiting for better weather to reseal the rest of the van,we only bought it in April,been away in it a couple of times and everything worked ok.

The sky light flyscreens broke but was not hard to fix.

We like the van but this is our first so we dont have anything to compare with.

I towed it with a renault secnic which pulled it ok but now bought a 407sw.

Good luck with the viewing.

Barry.

Thanks I am abit confused at moment as i have done a cris check and it isnt registered by the present keeper,so unless they can prove ownership i wont be trailing the 85miles to buy.

I dont blame you.

Did they say it was registered to them?

Weve been looking for ages for a caravan and lots of stories don`t add up !!!!!!!!!!

We had a 2001 Elddis; 2-berth with end kitchen.  There were only two faults. The first was that the warm air heating thermostat was fitted into the side wall of the wardrobe, and heat in the wardrobe, from the heater below it, prevented the thermostst from controlling the van temperature. Just left it set to maximum.

The other fault (easy to cure) was a screw from the kitchen roof locker was too long and protruded slightly out of the washroom wall.  I found it by cutting my finger when wiping down.  I simply removed it, filled the hole with white uPVA sealant, fitted a shorter screw, and wiped the oozed-out sealant from the washroom wall with a damp cloth.

Otherwise, van behaved faultlessly for the 5 years we had it.

i have already phoned cris register up with the cris number but they cannot confirm all is ok because it isnt registered as change of details....

ive gave them the address of the house where the caravan is and it isnt the same details which it wont be because they hav'nt registered themselves as the keeper.he is saying he as all the manuals and a log book but seen this in the ad and it is only stating the size,make etc not the keeper.

My sister as also got a touring caravan and she said apart from her insurance she wouldnt have anything either to prove ownership so is the norm??? am i just benn too cautious????
