We bought our caravan when it was just under 2 years old from our local dealer. As it had missed it's first service the warranty was not valid. We took out a 3 year comprehensive warranty through the dealer for a cost of £500. He knocked £500 off the price of the van which was already competitively priced to compensate.
We have had to claim on it when the garage door began to leak in heavy rain. The work was carried out without any problems. We almost didn't buy the van because of the warranty issue but it's price reflected that and we ended up with a van a couple of years younger than others at the same price because it had no manufactuer's warranty.
If the price is right, you could consider the vans and look at taking out a warranty policy. Make sure that it covers you for damp (some don't). I could look up who ours is with if it would help. You have to have the van serviced annually as part of the warranty agreement.
Hope that helps!
