Hi.
We are just about to buy our first caravan and have found a nice bailey ranger with a fixed bed. It is in good condition for a 2001 model and has a fixed bed which really appeals.
Are they good vans? Or should I consider another type.
Does £4500 sound reasonable?
Thanks

Thats a good price. We were looking for a fixed bed but the cheapest near to us were around the 5K mark. We have just bought a Lunar Jupiter 5 berth and going to turn end diner into a fixed bed.

Just make sure you look around and get the best one for your needs

Thanks guys.
We bought the van today and it is totally dry. It comes with a years warranty for peace of mind.
Pick it up on Feb 1st. Can't wait to get started.

Congratulations on your new van.

I assume you got it from a dealer if it comes with a warranty.

My advice would be to still check it yourself for any signs of damp. Our first van came with a warranty, but after a thorough inspection at home we found damp. We got our money back in the end, but it caused a lot of stress and wasted a large amount of time and money.
