our tent is far roomier and more luxurious than any caravan I have seen
HUUUGE wardrobe ,seperate loo massive bedroom a porch ,feels like bliss compared to when were couped up in the van ;) and as for sleeping on te floor ,2 words - Coleman comfort !
Just bought my first caravan a few weeks ago after many years of tenting. My budget was what i could lay my hands on and there are bargains to be had. Got mine off e bay and cost me under 500 quid. A 1985 Sprite Muskateer, decent condition for year, 4/5 berth, No hot water, electrics, no damp or leaks, toilet, electric pump for cold water, no over but 2 rings and a grill, fridge (3way) Full awning, loads of extras so yes you can get a decent caravan for around a 1000, or less. Just go and look at it first and see what you are getting for your money. If I get 2/3 years out of mine I will be happy and then upgrade. As well as E bay look on a site called Preloved, similar to e bay but not an auction, more adverts of just about anything second hand. loads of caravans on there in all areas of the uk. Good hunting.

If that's the one in your photo gallery it looks very nice...but would take me a week to erect
I bought my 25 year old Elddis Hurricane off ebay for £560 and I'm delighted with it. Came with a rimini awning, new fridge, oven, grill & hob, hot and cold water with built-in pump, shower. Only thing it didn't have was a cassette toilet but I bought a porta-potti for £35 on t'internet which does the trick. Seems to be damp-free and generally in good overall condition. See my gallery for pics. Been away twice now and had 4 in it both times, 2 in the van and 2 in the awning, and had a great time. As numerous folk on here have said, there are loads of older vans out there with plenty of life left in them. I fully intend to keep mine for 2 years and I'll probably get nearly all my money back if I look after it as good as the previous owners did.
My first caravan was £1000.00 for a four berth ace courier. We had a few electric problems, no damp and loved it for six summers. Sold it to a friend for £700.00 last month with electrics fixed and went out and spent £3000.00 on one with [what we didn't know had] damp LOL! Will
