also remember if you buy a swift then you will have to have the van serviced and warrenty work done at the dealer you bought it from.

if you buy a bailey there are dealers and service centres all over the uk that are allowed to do servicing and warrenty work for bailey. so you wouldnt have to go back to the dealer.

make sure you check out your servicing prices for next year while your there.

Ask to see all the papers, manufacturing check lists on the electrics for example . This will establish the actual construction date. Ask the dealer how long he's had it.

Jo-anne's dead right. Barter hard if this is the caravan you want and don't forget to ask for all the extras, eg aquaroll, wastemaster etc foc or at the very least heavily discounted.

Good luck.

That's not too bad but do check the build date.

If Lowdhams are providing the finance via say Black Horse then they get a nice little (or big) slice of the interest. So why not push for at least another
