Summary

Buying a used caravan is a really great way to save money, and you’ll find there are some brilliant bargains, if you take your time and you’re prepared to walk away.

Apply our advice and your purchase should be as safe as any can be. The price of buying from a private vendor should reflect the fact that you have little or no comeback – we’d say a minimum of 15-20% less than a large dealership price.

But remember, buying your next van from a passionate caravanner, who feels their beloved van is worth more than a dealership will offer them, can often be the best way to get your hands on an absolutely top-class bargain tourer!
