Hi Fiona, I remember reading you had your caravan inspected by an independent engineer before buying it and it sounded like it was well worth the money. We're going to see a van in North Wales on Friday and wondered if you had contact details/website where you can find these engineers?? (am so excited, have a want list from the Towsure catalogue already written out )

If you like it are you hoping to bring it home with you?
We wanted to with ours but the bank let us down with the transfer so I almost went grey waiting 3 days (as it was the weekend) to collect it. Then poor Sean had to do his maiden tow home in a storm - good initiation I told him!! We will have our fingers crossed for you both!

no, we will go back the following weekend probably even though its about a 6hr round trip .
The couple selling it are retiring from caravanning and it comes with loads of bits (motor mover, tyron bands, porch and full awnings, new battery, water/waste containers etc). I just hope its as good as advertised, now reading everything I can about caravans.
The chap said he was happy to accept cash but perhaps a bank transfer is better. I am clueless as to how it works though.

If martin is checking your van over you won't need a damp meter - he spent close on 30mins with one on ours!!!
