I'm thinking of buying one of these caravans - I was initially looking for a Freedom but this one is possibly going to be for sale soon and it's about the same size....I looked it over this weekend and it's really nice (for a 1990 model) I don't want anything bigger (they are both about 10ft x 6ft inside). Does anyone know anything about the Silverline Nova's please - or have any advice to offer? I would be very grateful.

My advice would be to go for it! We have a Silverline Nova princess GT & it's just right if you only need a comfortable, small light weight caravan, that's easy to tow (no wing mirror extensions required) & store

Ours has a AL-KO lightweight galvanised chassis,Propex blown air heating, Cascade 9 litre water heater & a Thetford toilet. The seats turn into a nice comfortable king size bed & the bathroom 'cupboard' is adequate for a wee & a wash! Lots of locker space for a little caravan.

Check the inside top corners above the front window for any signs of damp, as this seems to be a weak point on these 'vans.

I'm afraid I'm a bit biased...

That's really helpful - thank you very much. I've had an email from the person whose 'van it is and she's not sure whether to sell or not - so I just have to wait and see now. Other than that I'm on the lookout for a Freedom. Unless anyone knows of any other very tiny ones???!

Thanks again....

struggling to get a tape measure out and follow from the ground , up the side across the top and back down to the ground? then take note of the centimeters and find the awning in the size you need
