I sold our 1997 Swift Conqueror a couple of years ago.It was riddled with damp. The engineer I had to give an estimate for repairs found loads more I hadn't seen!The walls were spongy and soft so he wasn't trying it on! He estimated about £2k to put it right with the van being worth £3k if sorted. He left an offer of £500 to strip it for spares if I didn't shift it but said people will buy them for parts, upgrade fixtures or camper conversions.
I advertised it for £1k as damp and in need of major work.I sold it locally as a private sale for £750. The lad used it for a few outings then stripped it for a camper conversion.
