Yup. I suppose given that theres so many supposed 'Fiat' MH's around, the engines must by definition be good 'uns.

Is there one main/common thing/fault that you really need to watch out for when buying a MH?

Also, looking at all the plumbing and wiring and 'connecting-up' they all seem to have (not that im averse to stuff like this), do you need a degree in engineering to get one up and ready to start living in once on site?

I know my mate takes an age in his caravan - levelling, connecting this...filling that...pumping water etc etc.?

We bought our 20 year old hymer van private sale, left hand drive, column gears, it had been stood for 3 years, but we are using it more and more, and are getting used to it laughing along the way. We were planning to go to france in two weeks till some b**ger stole our beds.......Just go for it enjoy
