aww your poor caravan sat there all lonely and unloved.  Just think very soon she will be picked up and taken to another loving home.

Hope you went home and sat in your new 'van to get over it :)

Our old van was sold with 1 week, the dealer told us. We did see the sold sign on it.

We are loved our previous van, but it didn't bother us when it went because we love the new one more.  If it had bothered us, I think I would have been concerned that we may have made the wrong choice.

You fell in love with another van and dumped it for your "new love", so I don't doubt it feels terribly unloved and rejected! You should of thought of all the pain and suffering your flirting with others could lead to before even seeking another.
Hopefully somebody else will find they can give it some love.
My old girl knowns the score; if I feel I need a change she knows her time is finite but it was great whilst it lasted.

I jest of course :-)

Thanks for eplies i'm glad i'm not the only one then adsheadv, I think its because it was our first caravan. (i'm the same with cars too!!)

The decision to swap wasn't mine but OH decided that it wasnt practical anymore with us being young and having a growing family. But i have to say yes i love the new one now its here, but the old one has lots of nice memories.

The price they are selling it should have made it easier for me too, they are selling it for only £500 more than they gave us! And to top it off we had it 4 years and paid the same price they selling it for!!! Meaning we must have bought a bargin at the time and 4 years of usage has only cost me £500! Not bad then!!!

(ohhh i forgot it came with an awning that we've still got & have been offered £150 trade in!)........Oh i feel much better now.

our old one still at the dealers for sale , 5 months after we part exd it...shame.

way overpriced anyhow

How daft is it to get attached to a caravan and feel sad it's stood on a forecourt homeless!

sold our last van from home and all i could think of as i watched it go round the corner was will they look after it like we have?

Taken to its extreme, you cou be sad when you chucked out an old pair of socks.  I can understand someone being happy with their van, and sad if something happened to it and they were unable, for various reasons, to replace it like-for-like.

But being sad when it is replaced by choice?  Come on, it's just an inanimate object, manufactured on a production line from a batch of  man made materials, passed through several hands for profit motivation until it reaches its first owner.

Be "loved" our last van until we bought our present one.  The outgoing one sold quickly, and came back into the dealer about three years later.  We saw it on the forecourt, and I can honestly say it affected us not one iota.
