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.

EDIT: Not that there's anything wrong with being gay (the hole is getting deeper...)

About the caravan, I reckon you are looking at about £250 for something half decent, small vans go for a lot of money, bigger vans tend to go for less. At £250 expect to be fixing it up, and I would urge you to consider what I said before about new tyres.

Great vid kbekl.....I am so jealous, what a lifestyle eh? and thats one caravan i WOULD entertain.

Loved the comment on one of the other related vids:

"If you want to go to the desert, get a Land Rover. If you want to go back to the desert get a Toyota".....

also the weight issue if you can try to go for one weighing over 1250kg as most people who pass after 97 dont think they can tow it

You have over 3 days to go, sit back and watch, have a look if new bidders are coming in, there will be a last minute rush for bids, so don't push it up.

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...
