How are my personal details kept private?

We take every care to ensure your personal details are kept private. Email addresses are not displayed and when placing your advert you can select a 'privacy number' which means we will not display your personal phone number on the advert. Instead we will display a YAC number.

A YAC number (You're Always Connected) is a way of keeping your telephone number private from buyers. If someone dials the YAC number it will redirect to your phone number without them knowing what number it is dialling.

The only charge for a YAC number is to the person dialing it i.e. the buyer. Calls from a UK landline will cost 37p per minute. If calling from a mobile please check with your mobile operator for their charges.

I am having problems placing an ad what can I do?

From member feedback many are placing their ads without problem. The main problem area is around adding photo's. There is an upload limite of 4mb so you need to be sure your images are resized to be used on a website. Currently you can load up to 5 images at a time but if the total of these exceeds 4mb the upload will fail. We are working to resolve this issue, in the meantime please either reduce your images sizes or number of images and you should be able to place an ad. Our internet support team are there to help should you need help with this info@caravansforsale.co.uk or 0845 1290010 (lines open weekdays 8am - 6pm and weekends 10am - 4pm)
