Hi Folks

Looking  for advice, we are giving up our old Adria Tourer this year and looking to buy a new caravan, the above caravans are within our price range and both kinda the same.

So anyone advise please.

Thank you Angela

Hi thank you for your offer, we are hoping to buy new over the next few months, with it being a big buy we just want to make sure we are buying the right caravan for us.

When we were looking for our second hand caravan last year we found the quality of the finish, number of plug sockets and little extras like lift up or pull out work surfaces much better in the Elddis than in the Bailey or Swift vans. Have no regrets at all about buying the Elddis.

At our local dealer they are selling the in stock Rangers and Ranger GT60s. there is a notice in the window of each saying 'Last chance to buy a classic construction caravan'.

This says to me that, very soon, they are either going to bring out a replacement for the Rangers or just drop them to concentrate on Olympus & Pegasus. The latter is a strong possibility bearing in mind the width of an Olympus is the same as the Rangers, not Pageants.

You may get a bargain now or wait a while and see what they do, then choose.

As for the future, the Bailey Alu-tech (Olympus & Pegasus) will either hold their value incredibly well and be very sought after second hand due to limited numbers or drop like a stone if serious problems are found. But what will happen to second hand values for classic construction from Bailey or any other manufacturer, I don't know.
