Hi all,
Going to view a Crown Crest 1999 in the morning- anybody got one/ are they any good? anything particular to look for other than the usual?
As always your help is much appreciated.

Hi, we had a Crown Regent and had much fun in it. The only damp issue we had was collecting water in the front box that then seeped a couple of inches through to the floor board. Soon sorted with some marine sealant and by storing slightly nose down. Dry as a bone after that.
I reupholstered ours with firmer foam via the well known company on here too.
I believe they were Elddis' budget range, nothing wrong with that though. Paid £2800 in July 2006 for a 1997 model.

Our very first van was a crown regent too, great little van.
Would probably still have it now if the size of the family hadn't increased.
I would imagine the crest is the same range.------------- Rich

we had a 99 model - the last year they were made and we went everywhere in it - even beyond Barcelona great machine we sold it in very good condition in 07 and then we saw it a few years later - 2011 and it had started to have water ingress at the front below the window apart from that AOK. So look out for damp - obvious in a van as old as this
cupboard door hinger were our only complaint

thanks for your help guys.
Pleased to say I have bought a really nice 1999 ABI Sprinter for £1450. Had it checked for dampness and its dry.
Can't wait to get caravaning!
