Hi everyone
Sorry for my bad manners- I've already been asking for help and haven't yet introduced myself! I'm Sue & my husband is Frank. He has some experience of caravanning but as his last van had gas mantles, you can tell how recent that was... Like fran we bought our caravan off ebay- probably a foolish thing to do. We did inspect it before bidding but not as thoroughly as we should have! It's a 1994 Swift Rapide & we're just in the middle of giving it a new carpet & curtains. So far we haven't found anything major wrong with it- touch wood. We will be taking our 5-year-old grandson Joe with us, which is why we decided to go for an older van initially- didn't want to be worrying about the wear & tear on a new van (course the money mught have had something to do with it). We're really impressed with the forum- had a lot of help already.
Thanks
Sue & Frank
