We bought (new) 2001 Elddis (Explorer group, same as Compass), and no problems in the 5 years we had it.  Now have a 2006 Coachman, and no problems.

It seems to me that most complaints about poor quality caravans have arisen in the last 3 or 4 years, so your 2000 van may free from any serious faults; particularly as the previous owner (should have) had any complaints rectified under warranty.  Still advisable to find out as much history about the van as possible, though.

I can only talk from my personal experience. I have a 2009 Compass Rallye. Owned since new. I have had nothing but problems with it. Top of the range it's supposed to be I recon it was built on a Friday afternoon. It's back at the dealers for the 10th time. This time were are having a complete kitchen fitted, a Front window replaced, a crack above the side window repaired and a warp above the door repaired.

I love the van but not happy with the build quality. Go thru the one your looking at with a fine toothed comb and ask to see the service/repair record for it.
