Due to a change in circumstances (now proud owners of our 6 year old granson Shocked ) our motorhome is too small and cannot warrant the cost to get a bigger one. Big Cry

SWMBO will not go back to a tent for shows etc after too many soakings over the years.

I agree with Barbara they all seem to be cheaply made to save weight. 993 Varioram - Guards Red

Simon, have a look in the caravan section, loads of useful info there Thumbs Up

Mines a 2004 Swift Challenger 520SE, chosen because its interior layout suits us perfectly..

If buying 2nd hand then damp is a caravans achilles heel, just as a rusting chassis is for the Defender. If the interior smell damp/fusty then walk away. Look for peeling/mouldy wallpaper etc. When looking I found dealers prices are often about £1,500 - £2,000 more than private sellers. Worth popping into your local caravan storage yard to ask if any of their customers vans are for sale.
