Been away for ages due to health issues and not being able to drive. Now got the ok to drive(and tow) looking to get a wee van again. Does anyone have any suggestions for good places to buy used caravans around central Scotland?
Jusr seen the thread "Crappy old caravans" One of them would suit me fine.

I put the search in for up to 50 miles from Glasgow but you can extend that. Take a damp meter for any caravan you look at and be careful what you buy.
Try Knowepark (Livingston) or Duncans (Wishaw). I was over at Knowpark on Sunday & they have some older vans in. Might be worth a look. The shops at both are good for bits & bobs

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
If you don't want to spend a lot of money then I think private sales is your best bet.IMO
Dealers will always..always want to make a profit.
A lot of folks trading in for a newer model will generally get more selling privately than what the dealer offers in trade in price unless they are making a killing on the price of the new van.
There are always little gems being sold privately for not a lot of money.
Generally dry and well looked after and can come with all you need to get started.
Obviously still need checked out for damp etc as you would do anyway as there are also some nightmare buys out there.
