Its advice I have offered to many, It can be really helpful to take a family member or friend who caravans with you when looking. Their experience may point out some of the issues that an inexperienced person might miss.

My guess is that Pon will get a caravan inspected first before commencing any painting on it? Pity we are not aware of the county where they are located as I am sure that other forum users will be able to recommend dealers in that county and then it is up to Pon to decide.

Just goes to prove following the correct CRA procedures justice can be achieved.
Pon, going forward I am sure you don’t need us to tell you to be very careful with your next purchase and use a qualified engineer to do a pre purchase survey. Money well spent😃

Looking back over this thread, Pon, when buying the caravan, had a damp and Habitation report from a corrupt dealer who was fully aware ( In my opinion) of the problems with the caravan. Hopefully Pon will not let this bad experience put him off caravanning.

I'm sure that Pon won't be put off, after all, despite an initial setback the eventual outcome was a positive one, thanks to the collective wisdom of forum members.
We can't really prove that the dealer was corrupt and was fully aware of the poor state of the returned caravan in spite of what we think. 😉
The important thing is that justice was done and Pon can return to talk about the eventual purchase with pride.

And i think Pon will keep us updated of his next Purchase before he buys just to make sure .

And that is exactly what I had suggested in an earlier posting.

He has certainly learned the hard way, but in his case it has turned out well. However he approaches his next purchase he is now far better prepared.
