Very first things I would add to your shopping list are a good quality hitch lock and wheel clamp.
Looks like a cracker of a van, hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Yes sorry it was only a joke in poor taste but I don't think he bit!!For what it's worth I think you have done the right thing, if you have the budget why not? I nearly bought new this year but went for a 2012 model but if I could afford a brand spankers one I would. You have peace of mind, the joy of a shiny fault free caravan and depreciation is nothing like a car anyway, the important thing is that you fully enjoy your time in it!!!
