I think you are spot on Colin, we were close to viewing one with a dealer - at the very top of our budget and when I phoned and told him how unimpressed I would be after a 3 hour drive to find it not what it seemed, he told me it had damp around the door that wasn't cost effective to repair. Sadly, I had also made arrangements to go and view a more affordable one on Ebay which sounded lovely and then I got contacted and told that someone had just used 'buy it now' to buy it without even seeing it, so caution cost me a purchase - but I'll get there eventually and I fully intend to pay for a thorough damp check on anything. I'm also, as per an earlier post, tempted to leave it until Xmas time.
Wow! someone was a lot braver than me! Buying a caravan without even seeing it is madness in my opinion. If all sellers were scrupulously honest it would be no problem, but in the real world that is far from the case. I viewed some that were described as "in excellent condition", but they were anything but! Lots of stuff broken and riddled with damp many of them.
Good luck with your search, I hope you find what you are looking for. There are some good ones out there. Just before Christmas is a good time to buy. Prices are always much higher in spring.

Best Regards,
Colin
