Hi all, we've had a tent for years but now feel the time is right to get a caravan,

My question is this, we've seen lots of different vans but which is supposedly the best make? We,ve seen brand new ones for about £12,000 and then older second hand ones for alot more, so I assume they were better makes?

We neeed a 6 berth van as we have 3 teenagers that still like to come with us and one or more will always want to bring a mate. I think any thing smaller would be a bit cramped.

Thanx

Thanks Puplehat we had a look at a Bailey this afternoon and thought it was very good value, The wife likes it so we'll prob get one of those!!

hi bluesriff it down to personal choice and the car your towing with we picked a lunar quasar lunar are lighter than bailey so you dont need a great big 4x4 we have a citroen picasso and it copes fine

The best van is what is right for you and your needs, look at a lot of makes and find one that you think fits the bill. With a used van get a damp check  before you buy and don't just buy it on the look of the lovely interior, (many do and I have in the past) you never know whats lurking behind it.

 If you go for new most have a six year water ingress warranty so you can rest assured for six years but then on the other hand you will  have to have it seviced by your approved dealer for this to be valid.

 If you buy used you can get it seviced anywhere at probably a much cheaper rate but with ours I was always holding my breath when it went in, in case they found damp.
