i am on the verge of buying an avondale 556/6 the advert advertises it as an Arrow but i can't find out what this is. Does anyone know of the arrow or any difference between the dart 556 and the arrow 556. it is a fairly new van 2005 i think.

Anything i should look out for? although on first veiwing it seems as new and assume everything should be covered by a manufacturers warranty however somebody tells me that manufacturers warranties do not carry on with new owners like a car would.

Any advice would be very appreciated.

we have a 2004 Avondale Arrow 510 it's a dealer special built for Kimberely caravans and has upgrades such as aks1300, better seats & spolights etc.  You need to check for cracks on the rear panels and your right with the warrenty it is non transferable.  I'm not an expert as this is our first van but I hope it helps

We have an Avondale Argente 650/6 wich was 12 months old when we bought it and when we rang Avondale to transfer the warrenty they told us that because it was just over 1 year old the warrenty was non transferable. I went bacck to the dealer that we bought it from and they rang Avondale and managed to transfer the warrenty to us. It just shows what clout main stockists have.

Thanks for your reply. the interior in the 1 i am looking at is green & cream striped and registered August 2005. i will go back and look at the rear panel. price wise it is just a snip under £10k do you know the new price?
