Well have put down a holding deposit today on our first Caravan in 15yrs 😊 Because it’s in Wales we have wait until their lock down is eased before we can collect it 🙄 Just need to get the towbar fitted on the car now ,which is being done 2nd week in June.We sold our motorhome 18months ago ,and are now ready to get back out & about 👍

Welcome Brian & Jo. Most of us with motorhomes or caravans have had some issues. My advice would be to check over the van again to make sure you are happy with it before you pay the balance. Make sure the warranty is comprehensive and not limited to something stupid like £500 per claim. Remember the sale of goods act should provide you with some protection. If you are still concerned, call a good recommended mobile service engineer (there are quite a number) and get them to give it a really good once over. Surprising the detail the engineers find that slip through the dealer inspection. Hopefully, your van will have had most of the gremlins sorted on the first couple of services. Can't do anything about the lockdown, just hoping Wales will open on 4th July for our first sortie! Enjoy and hope all goes well.

Hi Dave T, Yea I’m hoping Wales will become accessible again very soon🤞We are buying the Caravan privately,it’s the first time we have ever done that ,but the guy seems very genuine and has had to stop caravanning because of his health .He has only used the van 3 times and it’s fully loaded so seems like a good deal for us .Ive just put a holding deposit on it for now until we can get up there to inspect and finally bring it home 😊Just had a towbar fitted on the car on Wednesday so all set to go👍
