I have read so many topics on here about the problems that people have with brand new vans and the hassle that they have trying to get these repaired, that it rather puts me off buying anything new caravan wise.

Far better to buy something secondhand, where any defects will either have been put right or be apparent to the buyer.

We have just bought a 1997 van and back then, the layouts to weight ratio were better than they are today.
Despite having the money to spend, we simply could not find what we wanted amongst todays newer vans.

we have a 1997 crown regent layout suits double bed each end kitchen in the middle,

i look after it keep it clean and it doesnt look like an old van some of the new 4 berth vans have onsuite bathrooms but this means if you take friends with you they have to go through your bedroom to use the loo!

so if you have an old van a bit of love and attension it will serve you well and still look good
