Good honest review. We have a 2002 Avondale with the same interior layout, fridge and heater and most of the comments you have made would apply.
Usually it's just the 2 of us travelling and we tend to keep the side dining area for having breakfast before we bother to put the front bed away. There was one time that we tried bringing a friend and her 10-year-old daughter along, with the child sleeping on the top bunk and the adult beneath. She said it felt a bit like being inside a coffin. But it's fine for a small child, or a small-ish adult without the top bunk above.

Age should never put anyone off buying an older caravan. Once they are past 5 years old condition is everything, and some of the older vans were better built than some of the newer ones. Our 1992 model is still giving great service. Has everything a modern caravan has too. Our previous caravan was a 1988 model and that had everything too. We had that 4 years and still sold it on, and for a small profit too.
I'd be much more wary about buying a 10 year old caravan, assuming I could afford one, as you have a lot more money to lose if it goes pear-shaped.
