Here is a close up pic of the worst crack that you can see has been previously filled with very old filler that has shrunk that takes quite a long time to happen certainly longer than 10 days, the ones that were not there when he delivered it. Am I right that these should have been raised in...

Does the damp report and the service the seller gave to me that should have highlighted the cracks mean anything were the sale is concerned?

It was about a 15 minute inspection. As the seller was doing a service I thought if there was any problems like this I would be covered because they should have been flagged in the service. Now it looks like the seller is saying they were not there even though you can tell they are old and some...

Found another possible problem, how bad is this reading for damp, I have attached the damp report the seller done for me, where I have put the pencilled arrow, around 11.1 readings he is getting I am getting 17 to 18 in the second video. The photo with the arrow is where I am getting the 20+...

I will not be towing the caravan so I would say the Capt T’s would do the job. Do you think I am entitled to a part refund?

Thanks, I will check it out.

No I would not have bought it. I assumed because he was servicing it and doing a damp report anything like this that came up I would be covered. You can tell the cracks have been there a while he obviously new about them as you say I would assume they would be brought up in a damp report...

I bought it from his home, he did not have a van sign written, thanks for the links I will check them. If I had have got the caravan independently serviced would these cracks have been mentioned in the service.

Thank you for all the advice. I will do a CRIS check tomorrow and take it from there. I would be prepared to take a £1200 refund, get it fixed and move on. It is going to be static on my property for visitors to stay so I will not be towing it, if I was going to tow it I would want a full...

Thank you for that I will check the CRIS registration tomorrow. I do think they owned the van for around six years, they seem pretty genuine. I found this. Private sales Under the Act, a private seller is only obliged to provide goods “as described”. So as long as the description has not been...

What would be the best way to go about this with the seller, should I ask for a part refund and what do you think would be a reasonable amount considering the situation. I bought the caravan last Saturday.

Cheers. Thank you for that.

Cheers, Mel.

Thank you for the replies. #ProfjohnL, At the time when he said he would do the service and damp report I did think if I found anything serious I would be covered. I think I will email him, send a link to this thread and see what he does, he seems like a nice guy I am sure he will sort it out...

Hi. No, it is part of the caravan the rail above the crack looks like it could be removed.
