Im looking for a used caravan, 4 berth, 16-17 foot'ish, dont want huge washroom, but quite like end kitchen (thats not essential) and I dont want to spend more than £2500....i'm poor...

Any good suggestions for a nice older van?

You ought to be able to get what you want for that ammount, I would suggest though that you look privately rather than at a dealers, you will get a much better van. Make sure you take your damp meter with you and check everywhere, if they won,t let you check it then leave well alone, and don't get carried away with the look of the lovely interior and overlook any major faults, as we did once, to our cost.

Hi, I agree with that one I would also look private you will get a decent van for £2,500 ..In our local caravan place you woudln't get much for 2,500 as he's very expensive on older vans.. Its a very good time of year to buy aswell .. Good Luck..

 i know that people say oh dont buy from ebay, but its worth a look, if you find a local van, you can of course  view before you buy, we also thought that it was a good time of the year to buy, we went to a number of dealers last weekend looking at vans, and we were shocked at how busy they all were, in fact at one we had to queue to get in the car park,

If you look at autotrader online you can set your search as close as you like from your post code.

Anything from 1 mile to full uk just put your max price and postcode in and it does the rest

Autotrader is fine and dandy for you southerners..... but I just did a search for anything below £2500 and there are 2 caravans in 100miles of me... I dont fancy travelling 200miles to discover im looking at a sponge....know what I mean?

We do have a local free ads paper which normally has a good selection, I'll just have to be patient.
