ive got one, still repairing it, in fact, been repairing it for thelast two years, its just not happening. we might end up giving up and selling it. its certainly water tight as we repaired all the damp at the rear (properly, by cutting out all bad wood and replacing/treating). Rear lights need checking, and fixing back on, rear handle to fix back on, no kitchen, no toilet/plumbing as it all had to be disconnected to do the repairs. the plan was to put in hot water heater and proper loo, but we fell too far behind!
i think its a good idea, i dont have a problem with caravanas or caravanners, i mean, whats the difference in that on the road, and a transit, or semi rigid truck etc? nowt. i say go for it, and be proud of your home from home! |

lloks like a swift from mid 80s.
traditionally light and good for towing. 4 berth i reckon, if only 2 of you 2 berths can be cheaper though at 99p lol not make much difference! find 2 berths have fixed side long beds more comfy than making up diner and its jigsaw of matresses!

Ta for your early input
 Its purely just going to be a double bed so the normal thing you want like kitchen / shower / heating even toilet aren't really needed

My comments, for what they are worth...
1. 3 neutrals and 1 neg feedback...sounds like a right old cow if you read comments. 2. "4 birth caravan" - I hope they cleared the mess up! 3. The damp in the toilet looks like a bloody waterfall to me (third photo)...hopefully an easy leak to fix?? 4. "Relisted due to timewaster" is usually a euphemism for "he turned up and realised it was a pile of shite"..... But for £150, do you really care.....worst case it will be great for the chickens.

Set a limit and go for it 15 seconds ( depends how fast your internet connection is, ours is slow) before the auction ends. I would start looking at others in the mean time. Or go to a second hand caravan place, often they have trade ins and they need to get shut. But £50.... you won't get a spare wheel for that these days... Electric hook up at this time of year is a good thing to have so it will push the price up. Good luck... Or contact Braniac, they have plenty of secondhand caravans, in good condition when they started. Pity they are spread around a field when they have finished...
