Hi Ray, I have no intention of not mentioning the full extent of the damp when I come to sell the van. Thanks Tony

I sold our 1997 Swift Conqueror a couple of years ago.It was riddled with damp. The engineer I had to give an estimate for repairs found loads more I hadn't seen!The walls were spongy and soft so he wasn't trying it on! He estimated about £2k to put it right with the van being worth £3k if sorted. He left an offer of £500 to strip it for spares if I didn't shift it but said people will buy them for parts, upgrade fixtures or camper conversions.
I advertised it for £1k as damp and in need of major work.I sold it locally as a private sale for £750. The lad used it for a few outings then stripped it for a camper conversion.



Just goes to show that we are not all the same. I suppose if anyone was building a camper, they may look on it differently to me. I wanted something I could use as a caravan, and the one I bought I used for 4 years before selling it for more than I bought it for. I wouldn't take on a damp caravan as a gift, but others might.

Anything that is for sale is worth what someone else is prepared to pay for it.

Best Regards,
Colin

A lot of bargain basement caravans on their last legs get bought by Young Farmers who use them for accommodation at shows,when you think what they get up to in them you can see why they don't want anything posh!£100 each in the pot,with some mates,to buy something, is less than their weekends beer money.
