I have never used this company to purchase a caravan but they have been helpful in providing obsolete spares for me in the past. I believe they have a good reputation but you could post an independent thread asking for feedback on them if you are interested. There is also a link to visit their website which may be helpful.

Is he selling it sold as seen or as a trade sale? I'd be inclined to ask him to give it a damp check in front of you. He'll be used to doing them as part of his every day activities & he'll know where in the van to check.

Apart from that, it's a gamble you have to decide whether or not to take. For me, I'd walk away if he won't give the van a damp test. Let us know how you get on.

I am interested in a 1999 (costing £3000) caravan and having spoke to the dealer and found out he had tested all the appliances etc, then I mentioned the damp and if there was any and he said that it hadnt been checked for damp and also there isnt any warranty with it. If I am spending that type of money I would have expected at least 3mth warranty.
I would like your opinions please, I feel I should give this one a miss, even though it ticks all the boxes for me.
Thank you
Christina

I told him that basically its sold as seen and he disagreed and said if there is a prob bring it back and we will see what we can do but didnt say it would be free and he said I dont appreciate they had a "man in" and went over it with a fine tooth comb and found nothing. He also said if I buy privately they are selling a van and they will hide things from me but he wont do that. I think he wants to off load this van and he thinks he can talk me round. I do really like the van, but its too much of a risk..........

Thank you for you advice, it was a lovely van, but not worth the risk. Thanks again, christina
