Hi, not sure where to post this query - if a more appropriate forum please advise.

My Mother-in-Law is selling her caravan and has asked me to find its value. Where do I start! Have googled, but not many options fit the bill exactly. It is an Elddis, Queensferry 482, 2002. Am I right in thinking this is a dealer special? If so, what model is it similar too?

Any advice greatly received

Is it similar to this Avante?

The queensferry range were dealer specials only sold by Flintshire caravans in queensferry. probably based on an avante 482.The serial number on all of the windows would tell you..it should end with ..ava then four numbers eg ava0123.

Regarding window numbers, my mother-in-law has come up with the following:

EX2AVA****

And SGE****

Have starred out the numbers in case they are too meaningful to someone :)

The top one - does it mean the Queensferry is based on the Avante? Would simply matters if that was the case, in order to get a true value.

Thanks,
Cara

It sounds like an Avante, does it look like the one I listed above? If it's similar you could look up recent sold prices on ebay to give you an idea of the current market value.

Thanks everyone. Caravan will be going up for sale shortly and am now pretty sure it is an Avante.

Will check out Ebay prices.

Hi Cara.

It is indeed based on the Avante, it is a Flintshire caravans special edition.

I don't think you would go far wrong asking around £3,500 - £4,000 just for the caravan. Don't forget though that if there are any extras - Awnings and Motor movers etc you might get a bit more.

Hope this helps.
