Used caravans - what to look out for

[crikey]

If someone was to be looking at caravans with a view to maybe buying one, what would be the sort of things, errr, my friend should look out for ?

Cheers all.

You've somewhat scared my friend off buying private as he's no real idea so would rather get something with a warrantee. He does know the kind of layout he's looking for though

Yes, OP this is a very valid point your friend needs to be aware of.
The minute you step into a caravan or motorhome you are overcome with the desire to take a st in a plastic bucket.

I went to the NEC show 2 years ago and lost 6 stones, however my shares in plastic bucket manufacturing went through the roof.

Just be careful.

What's a ballpark figure for insurance ?

Say a 2005 model, value £8k, stored on a CaSSOA gold site.

Well, we're almost at the point of buying, a deal has been tabled and we're just working out the finer detail before making the jump
