Looked at this caravan today. Its 1994.
https://www.gumtree.com/p/caravans/swift-rapide-490-glx-5-berth-caravan/1160821860
Any thoughts (other than the price is WAY to strong)
What to look out for etc.
I know its damp free, the tires need replaced. All extra seating to bed conversion working well.

lol, I originally looked at this as its not much more and was supposed to be "around 1999 i Think" change up for a small amount and get a fresher age was my logic.
BUT when I looked at it- Checked and its a 1994, same age as one we just bought. It is slightly longer with better layout for the end bedroom for kids, and its generally a bit tidier inside, with exception of the oven where the door is so stiff its near seized.

passed this up as was very wary of the seller, caught in one untruth....with it stored in doors for last year and not used has me asking questions:-
is there a leak?
does it have another owner?
Also knowing a bit more reckon its two strong a price.
