 Yes feedback from one buyer to say "not mentioned that caravan is completely unsafe for the road". I see they have sold a caravan before and sell cars and you say they are a "garage", I would regard their caravan knowledge to be limited (they did not know difference between porta potti and a cassette toilet lol). It would be like buying from a private buyer "buyer beware". But they are running a business mainly a garage but a sideline of selling of caravans aswell it looks like. So I wonder how the law stands regarding selling through ebay and or having caravans for sale on forecourt for sale  from a mainly garage business by trading standards if you bought a caravan from them and it had defects.

Do you suffer from an OCD. Obsessive Caravan Disorder.

....great feedback on the other 'van, made me chuckle, the other caravan was £79!

...you can't expect a new caravan for old caravan money

when we viewed the clubman it smelt damp and the wall boards above side windows and in side lockers where soft when I challenged the sales man about it he said well what do you expext from an old caravan ,he looked shocked when I informed him our mid 80's van had less damp than the van he said had none. will be interested to see if they still have it on their fore court.

Hi Dave

I was the one who left the negative for the van. I have just posted the full story on here under Caravan buyers beware. I'm getting really fed up being ripped off on ebay. 

Cheers

Hi Iconic

The point I make is that the price at auction is irrelevant. I bought my 1998 Compass  caravan for £500  Which was an absolute bargain. My point is the discription must be accurate.

Regards

The 3com power supply went down for the internet router so been on dial up all day yesterday, managed (slowly) to find a genuine new one on ebay and it arrived just now, a total of  £16 and 25 hours!!!

While you have to be very wary buying caravans sight unseen, ebay as a whole is becoming a God send
