As you bought the van in March this year (from what you have said) then, assuming that the previous owner had the van serviced at the correct time for the warranty you should be ok, provided that the warranty is one that is transferrable. Check out the warranty to see if it is transferable. It may either say, specifically, that it is transferrable and set out the protocol to follow to register the new owners interest with the manufacturer or it will say something like "the owner for the time being" . You will probably need to register your ownership with the manufacturer for evidence of continuity of ownerships for the warranty to subsist before you sell.

For the third year service the usual condition is that it muust be before the anniversary date of its original sale date, so get it booked in for the week before the 1st October. A purchaser may wish to see that, as the van is now three years old, all of the electrics and gas have had safety checks. These should be done every three years. The usual dealer service does not cover safety checks so you may need to get a specialist mobile engineer in to do those.

As for CHRiS did the former owner complete their part of the form for you get the registration changed into your name.  Anyway get it registered. A prudent purchaser will not buy a van from someone who cannot proove that he owns it!

Thats great thanks

we sold it on the bay of fleas. Take lots of good pics and do a good write up. If you put it on as a classified ad its £15 for 28 days. You have the option of letting buyers make offers.

Some buyers will be put off by lack of warranty, we personally would only buy a newish (less than 5 yrs old) with a warranty but thats us and not everyone else.

Good luck with the sale, your van is too big for us.

I thought the service was due the 1st of oct but checked & it was done mid November last yr. In light of that I may as well just put it up for sale straight away. I'm going to give it a good clean tomorrow & put it on the bay of fleas! I was hoping to get 10000 for it but I think I'll be lucky to get 9500 now without the warranty. Saying that though not all caravan manufacturers let you swap the warranty over anyway do they?

Who gave you the info re 3 months to transfer warranty. Have you spoken to Elddis themselves? Have you checked the manual/warranty booklet. I think it would be rather harsh especially as the services were up to date. Elddis even allowed you to claim even if you missed a service but would expect to to pay a contribution ( a percentage on a sliding scale according to the number of years missed)

At 3 years old it is only the water ingress warranty that remains. All the equipment warranties would be expiring then anyway.
