Any one know of any dealers of older vans in the yorkshire area, we have been looking around, but most dealers only seem to sell used models at 5K and up, surly they must part ex cheaper vans than this,

we will be looking to spend up to 3K, maybe 4 at a push, but want to see what we can get for this money without wasting private buyers time, so far we have only found one (although the vans were promising)

Dewsbury Caravans...If you see one in there and its filthy, don't worry as they are fully cleaned and serviced before you pick it up. Also if you see something broke, say a blind or door handle, if you mention it to the dealer, James, he will have it fixed ready for pick up date....We bought a van from him a few year ago and was very happy with it.

i know its not yorkshire but try glossop caravans

their vans start at £100 all the way up to brand new

we traveled up from wales with old van and came home next day

with our new to us van at £3500 fully serviced and ready to use

and we are very pleased with it and the service we had from glossops.

At Thirsk theres a place called beechwood leisure thats got loads in all around 5k.

I looked there a couple of months ago, they're giving away free starter packs with most vans as well which includes an awning and water carriers etc.

It looks real small when u arrive, its like a blokes house, you go out the back and theres loads of vans.

As mentioned above

I know its not Yorkshire but we bought ours from Preston Caravans which is a division of Campbells and is just around the corner from their Lostock Hall branch in Preston.  It is specifically aimed at first time caravan purchasers and sells budget price caravans.

We had the same problem as you - a limited budget - and after treking around loads of dealers only to find everything out of our budget we found ours at Prestons.  We are more than happy with it and the service we received was very good.  They guarantee all the 'white goods' (fridge, cooker, heater, water pump etc.) and we even got a starter pack with it.  After sales service is good too, we had a problem with the water pump on our first outing and they sorted with no quibbles.  Well worth a look
