About us, New to caravaning, and as yet do not own a caravan, but we have just looked at a 2006 Elddis Crusader Aurora. It is spotless, 1 owner from new with all documents and still under warranty. It also has a remote motor mover.

The owner has gone away on holiday in his new 6 birth Elddis. He will accept £10,000 for the Aurora and when he returns in a few days I want to say yes.

However this purchase goes against the grain for me as I have not looked at any other vans, this was literally the only one we have seen. Whenever I have made this type of large purchase I have researched all the pro's and con's before jumping in with both feet.

But this Aurora with its fixed rear bedroom and separate shower/wc looks great for just the two of us. Wish us luck!

Steve.

Hello Steve and welcome!

Good luck with your purchase, we did something similar, went out one day just to look and bought a van from the first dealer we visited. Scary but exciting at the same time. We're just waiting for our baby son to start sleeping through (he's nearly there, we hope!) then we'll be out with our van.

Let us know how you get on and whether you buy the Aurora.

Cheers,

Gary

Welcome to the world of caravanning, Steve!

Before taking the plunge make sure you are able to tow the 'van with your existing vehicle. It is a large expense, having bought the 'van just find out that your car also needs replacing!
