    I love this caravan, we have a swift Challenger 490 se from 1994 and still so Beautiful, they are very rare in Holland. But if we would buy an other one it Will be a brittish caravan.
    We are still in love.

    Loving it . Have a 20 year old Cruach Morven 2 berth . It’s so good you would think it just left the showroom . Clear services the past three years . Everything as it should be . Full 20 year service history and it shows . Looked at new vans but they don’t come near for quality and charm . Cost us £3500 . Best money we ever spent . Been all over the UK in the 36 months we have owed her. Still stands out wherever we go . No need to pay £28,000 for a tourer . Check second hand deals and do your homework👍

    "A 17 year old caravan , at a snip of just under 4 and half thousand pounds" ????? im not knocking the caravan at all, but thats a lot of money for a caravan of that age

      dealer price remember you can get one privately a lot cheaper about 1 and a half to 2 grand

    I was thinking how about keeping your caravan in a big top style tent on a hardstanding when not in use away from the weather and sunlight, just a thought. 😂

    On a Caravan of this Price Range, Condition is Everything, Fabric & Furnishing Colours are What they are. If You Don't like the colour, Most people will put Covers or Throws on the seating .
    A very Nice Caravan at that Price range.

    I love that model..heck I would rather have that one at 17 years old than one of our new ones here in the US states!!! They seem soo different over there compared to the United States..like everything else I guess...but that is a beauty of a trailer um I mean as you call it Caravan!! Here in the states the Caravan is a Dodge made minivan!! haha Have a good day from a fan of your caravans here in sunny Tampa,FL USA!

    There was absolutely no buying advice what so ever, this was just a walkthrough of that one specific caravan.

      @Jevandtieriel 4 года назад +1

      For those looking at a caravan you can see what he is looking at... so while there is no specific buying advice, there is plenty to learn if you are a newbie.

    This is so outdated advice and should be removed from You Tube. Hes reviewing a 17yo caravan in 2015, which is over 20 years old in 2019. No one's buynig a 20yo caravan in 2019. #delete

      Alphonse Capone i don t agree with you. I did it myself a couple of years ago and i sell it again a few days ago.
      So, never say never.

      Lmao. All its saying is any problems you have with your caravan can usually be solved and upgraded. Its effectively just showing you what to expect from second hands... and hell if you think no ones buying a 20 yr old caravan then you've clearly never looked at ebay and gumtree where 20,30 even 40 yr old caravans are being sold every day. Caravans age much slower than other vehicles.
