Is this dealer worth going to see? It appears to be the nearest to us which has Coachman vans, and I see that they (Coachman) have a new van with a central washroom, which we may be interested in. We could combine this with a trip to Sutton Hoo which is on our to do list.

I have often had a nose around and they seem to have a good supply of new and used vans. I would recommend a visit. Easy to find if you take the 1st exit for Stow off the A14 then follow the road in to Stowmarket. You will find it on the left.

We've looked round Stowmarket Caravans a few times, always found them pleasant and helpful. As Alan says plenty of vans to look round.

Only 2 mile up the road from me. My next door neighbor bought their new van from there and were not impressed with all the faults on pre inspection and time it took Stowmarket caravan to fix them.

Brand new, they ended up selling it because it made the husband ill worrying.
We got a quote to repair the back of our van (not bought from them) and they said it would need a whole back panel it only needed the plastic trim replacing when the insurance looked into it Sharman caravans ended up doing the repair at 1/4 of the price.
I've only bought from the shop but would be wary of buying a van, not to say I don't go in for a look round the vans ( we are looking a changing next year so I have to keep looking )

I would back up Claire's comments. Always found them expensive and one of the salesmen was so pushy (about 3 years ago) I walked out and have not been back since. They seem to swap between manufacturers a lot but I am not sure why.
