Carlight Value?

[natalie_374474724]

Hi,

I recently inherited what I believe is a Carlight Commander 152.

It is sound for towing as it was towed from Co. Wicklow, Ireland to me in Yorkshire with no problems, and for the last few weeks I've had it on paving slabs, with the legs down to keep the weight off the tyres. It's clean and complete inside, but for a few missing glasses in the drinks cabinet bit. All the bits and bobs work - cooker etc.

It has a bit of dampness around one window and in the one corner it's gotten damp and the veneer stuff is peeling away. That's not immediately obvious though and I'm guessing it could be put right?

It's a truly lovely, solid, smart caravan and were I a bit better off I would not consider selling it but I need to really. I'm not sure what to ask though? The previous owner was offered £1400 for it last year, which he refused. I've seen another go for £2400 but it may have been without the damp problems?

Thanks for any help.

I suspect the big issue is the damp. To get that fixed properly would mean the repair being done by Carlight in order to keep the financial integrity of the van. That will not be cheap.

There is a Carlight owners Club and it may be worthwhile advertising it on there.

By the way do not leave the van on the corner steady legs alone. This will distort the chassis. The weight should always be on the wheels and the legs are only there to stabilise the outfit when parked.

Sell it? What a shame. Have it fixed and use it. You have a gem of a van there
