Good luck with finding a caravan. We bought ours second hand from Kimberly caravans. They have been very good. We found there was damp around the window at the front. They have been very good and although it wasn't covered on the insurance because it was over 7 years old they assured us that they would cover it. They have been good to their word and have sorted it for us. With Kimberley you probably pay a bit more than buying privately but at least you are covered for a year. We did buy our first caravan privately. We were lucky because it was a really good van. We kept it 6 years we sold it in part exchange and it was 13 yrs old but still a lovely van. We wanted a 4 berth to be able to take the grandchildren away.

Best advice i can offer is,
before you part with your cash get a local caravan engineer to have a look ,i know this will cost BUT much better than buying a damp van which is always the danger and expensive to fix

We have just bought our (new to us) Sterckerman ... in Germany ... collecting in two weeks time ... can't wait!
The price of a comparable van in the UK is about three to five thousand more expensive.
We holiday on the continent, and store the van in France (185 euros a year) ... so it all made sense. But even buying over there and then bringing it back to the UK could offer a considerable saving.
