has anyone had any dealings with the brightstar,we were out on the weekend looking for an elddis hurricane and came across the brightstar with L shape front and end bathroom it looked like a nice van but i found damp in the front end and black silicone across the rail above the front window,that was after the salesman said to us it was a lovely dry van and he thought they were selling it too cheap £3000 1994 (forest of dean caravans parkend) did this model suffer from damp does anyone know ?

This is the sort of caravan you could pick up on ebay for about £1500 or less. To a salesman, every 'van is dry.
