if you look here - http://caravanpriceguide.com/ it will give you used prices for most types of van.
The price for british vans is slightly higher in Ireland but continental vans are usually a similar price. Regards Lee |

Ok, so I took the plunge, and am taking the caravan (Abi Ace Viceroy) for a very intense road trip this weekend. If it can travel the roads from my place to Connemara and back in one piece it should be up to anything I will want to use it for. Still haven't seen it but at €200 I suppose it is worth a punt. No idea what is coming with it and the sis in law never used the heater or the taps on the sink so I don't know if either is working. I do know the rear window has a crack but apparently it is not leaking. No shower fitted and some kind of porta potty which is obviously going to be emptied by the missus
Never towed one of these buggers before so the weekend should be interesting,to say the least. Insurance and some caravan club membership still to be sorted. Thanks for all the replies, I never knew there were so many caravan clubs, need time to study the benefits of each before deciding. Incidentally,T2 insurance is up in a few weeks and I tried a few different companies,best so far is comprehensive with AIG (25plus) at about €295,with me and the missus and other drivers over 25. |

Never trust a woman to do a man's job. Asked the missus the age of her sister's caravan,1995 she says. Turns out she was reading the number plate of her sisters car and tows the van,it's a 1995 I reckon the caravan is actually a 1990 but have sent an email to Abi with the serial number so should get an answer soon.Women,don't you just love them
