Why do I need
My Ideal Caravan?
Anyone who has visited a caravan dealer, been to a show or spent 5 minutes online will probably have left with more questions than answers.
Questions like:
What layout do you want? Why won't my toilet flush? Do you want to buy new or used? What's the towing capacity of your vehicle? What's it like towing a caravan? Should I have a full washroom? What kind of heating should I have? Is it safe to buy privately? What about security, safety features, warranty and after-sales service? How do I avoid buying a damaged caravan? Why is my pump not running? What is that smell of rotten eggs?
What if you don't know the answers?
-
Compromised comfort
Imagine the frustration of ending up with a caravan that doesn't suit your situation. Buy the wrong layout, and you could be in for cramped and uncomfortable trips.
-
Water Ingress (Damp)
This is one of the single costly mistakes people make when buying a caravan; water ingress, this can cost thousands to put right, and 99% of sellers don't even know they have it.
-
Buyer's remorse
The last thing you want is that sinking feeling when you realise you've made a costly mistake and regret every time you think about what you could have had.
-
Time wasting
Even if you can get a technician to come out, you may lose a day of your valuable hoilday waiting for them to turn up.
-
Wasted money
It's not just about the initial cost. Picking a caravan without knowing exactly what you need could see you spending thousands on features you never use or missing ones you actually need.
-
Unexpected costs
Without knowing what to look for, you can end up having to purchase additional equipment, maintenance, insurance, and storage to compensate for a bad buying decision.
-
Limited use
Get a caravan not suited to you and you're stuck with a holiday home that's more limitation than liberation.
-
A costly Call out
A call out from a caravan technition can cost up to £75, somtimes for an easy to fix issue.
