We're looking to buy a replacement caravan kitchen sink, and searches came up with a website for Caravan Life, based in the Chester area at caravan-life.co.uk.
I'll be very interested to know if anyone's had dealings with this company, and can report positively, which would be reassuring, or otherwise, because I'm not sure they're what they claim to be.

Their prices are remarkably low. Details of goods tend to be patchy and incomplete, and "More information" links don't work. Google Streetview pic taken in April this year shows an empty shop which was previously a Vape shop. They come up with a yellow warning at https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/caravan-life.co.uk. There are more inconsistencies too.
If it were a scam site, it might look like this.
Any experience or comments would be interesting, please.
I don't want to cast doubt on what might be an honest supplier and would be pleased to be shown a clean bill of health; at the same time if it is a scam firm, it's worth being alerted to it.

Can’t speak for that firm from experience, I’m sure someone will advise soon. We’ve used Leisureshopdirect for many years, but they might not have what you’re looking for. https://www.leisureshopdirect.com/water/caravan-sinks
Other sites are available.

Thanks and yes, I've ordered from Leisureshopdirect with much more confidence. I'm yet to find anyone who's used this other one, and my suspicions grow that it's a scam site.

If a deal looks too good to be true it's probably a scam.
A good reputation is hard to earn and easy to lose.

Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.
