Most importantly, any caravan, especially one of that age, must be checked for damp. I'd stay clear of it if any damp is present, whatever the price. Otherwise, as John says, try searching around the internet websites for similar ones to compare with.

Hi Chris,

I have to say that 2K for a 18year old caravan seems a lot to me - it would have to be pretty special to warrant that sort of price, as others have said look around to see what other vans of that make and age are selling for.

I've had a 91 Cyclone XL from new and still looks good and better built with fibreglass front than many newer vans - but look for damp in back corners, a known weak point, due to poor sealing of rear light clusters and lower back panel. Look also for swelling caused by damp around front windows - if these OK it could be a good buy for circa
