We bought ours off ebay. Cost us £500 towards the end of 2013, and we have just come back from a week in Weymouth with it. We have enjoyed some great times with it so far, and are planning many more.
Best time to buy is just before Christmas, as there are some real bargains about. Be very careful though, as you don't always get what you pay for at that end of the market. We looked at several up to £2,000, and some going for that were in worse condition than our £500 one. Ours is certainly not perfect, but everything works, it has everything we want, and there is no noticeable damp.
Check very thoroughly for damp, and don't think that a £2,000 van is automatically going to be better than a £1,000 one. Like anything else, a caravan is only worth what someone else is prepared to pay for it.

Best Regards,
Colin
