Hi I dont think you sent the link through but yes this is it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167292262264 It's sure to sell this time. It's a great old caravan with loads of features just needs someone who will look after her some more. Be great for a small brainstorming room in a funky kind of...

Hi Gary thanks for that I dont use Facebook for an array of reason but thanks for the head ups

So we have decided to change our old 1993 Sprite 450c for a newer fixed bed 2006 Ace Jubilee Statesman 4 berth. The newer van is some 19 years old but has been well looked after and serviced so it's got everything we need in it and a massive step from the old van, it only cost £3,300 which I...

Hi all and a happy new year. I've decided to trade up the old 36 year old caravan for a newer model with a fixed double bed. Although I know £7k is nothing when it comes to caravans it's as good as it can be in terms of budget. Has anyone any recommendations of brands to avoid or seek out. I...

Sounds like the charger side of the PSU to me

Oh how the other half live hey, Miele, Dyson, Sonax ... wow ... ! Sticky tape from Home Bargain for me is about as good as it gets. I always knew I was a peasant caravaner, maybe one day I'll run to affording a roll of proper branded Duck Tape to remove the cattle hairs from the back of my...

Hi Eire P I would without doubt always go and view a caravan first, and yes take someone with you who may have a bit of knowledge about DIY and associated issues, ideally get it professionally checked first. As with everything it also depends on how much you plan to spend and how much you...

Welcome and nice one for rockin an older van, it's in the same ballpark in terms of age as our 1993 Sprite 450C. Your van is a quite a bit posher than ours I think :-) Have fun with it all though ... miles better than a tent!

This year has been a mixed year weather wise but we've managed to get away 5 or 6 times for a few days or up to a week. As we are both working time is important and only have so many holidays. Given that I love going away for a couple of nights at a time and that I am loving being away in the...

Hi I'm a bit late to this thread but as we have a 1993 Sprite I know only too well the issues you are facing. Firstly mould spores are bad as Buckman said so proceed with caution and wear a respirator. I tackled our van over a period of time using a damp meter to find out where the leak(s) are...

Interestingly maybe there is a move towards innovation and built for purpose - Knaus Caravans offer the following All Knaus vehicles come with a 10-year manufacturer warranty against water ingress, and you can expect superior manufacturing quality that is synonymous with the best caravan...

Looks like from the video that it can be repaired. You know your van is only 8 years old and considering our van is 31 years yours is yet a pup. Having read so many of these issues on new vans I honestly think the caravan manufacturers should be made to take a long hard look at themselves...

I personally think it depends on how hands-on you want to be with repairing/slash maintaining your unit. If you aren't very hands-on then go to a dealer and get a guarantee plus keep on top of servicing. If you want to get your hands dirty you can get a lot of caravan for £11k even if it's an...

Hiya I would call it a caravan window stay - something like this https://amzn.to/4dZb227. Make sure you measure and find the one that fits your van - ask the sellers first. But googling caravan window stays should get you a bunch of options.

Personally, I would replace the whole arm - better than messing about in my opinion
