Hi all,
After months and months of searching we seem to have our perfect caravan with the ideal layout. It is our first starter caravan and with a young family money is tight. It is a private sale from a family who have older kids who no longer want to go caravanning. It's not been used for two years and is in storage without a cover so the outside is green in places and needs a damn good wash. The inside needs a bit of titivating but it's 2003 so that is expected. My one concern is that the owner tells me it had a leaky seal over the window a few years ago and got damp. The seal was professionally repaired but he didn't replace the panel as it was just cosmetic and it didn't affect him as he was keeping the van and it was behind a curtain. The van doesn't smell damp at all but I would want the panel replacing. How much would this cost roughly ? And would it be worth getting an independent engineers report done ? The bloke seems straight up and the van comes with everything including full awning for £3k. Thoughts please
