Saw this at our local caravan dealer about 18 months ago but it had sold before OH got to see it. They were asking £7999 and I think it was a 2003?

It had a perfect layout for our family with the triple bunk bed room at the rear which could be closed off at night.

Would really love to buy one but haven't seen one since!!

When did Avondale start and stop making them?
What sort of money should we be looking to pay for one? (assuming I can track one down!!)

Has anyone got or had this particular van and could you give me any advice, tips or comments (good or bad!!)

Any information would be much appreciated.

I currently own one but unfortunately for you I am not ready to sell yet, may look at selling in 3-9months (2008).

 

Make sure you check the front and rear panels for cracks!

You have to think why they only made them for 1 year.   No-one stops making things that are selling well. I thought they had a great layout but I'd just gone and bought summat else at the time. If they didn't sell well then it means resale values will suffer.

Must be something about us Avondale owners where we don't like to part with them.

Had my van 19 years.

Hi, as far as I know Avondale went into administration and ceased production in September 2008 there may be a few 2009 models out there built ready for the next season. Great shame I always liked their caravans especially the ones in the 1980,s. Wasn't so keen on the Perle range which I think they also made. Iam sure someone out there knows more than I do so stand to be corrected

My Avondale Dart 510/5 yr 2000 is still going strong just had to replace the PSU this week (19 years of use) The Avondales were a good lightweight caravan. Shame its not easy to obtain spares, but I'm hoping for a couple more years yet.
