max weight 1250kg
must be v easy to tow
will spend a lot of time in remote places in scotland
budget 16k but obvioulsy would prefer to pay less

also what is the best discount you can get when buying new?

How about something a bit different & choose what you want included in the build price ??

I think you could narrow down the choices from the Buyers Guide section at the back of each PC magazine. Consider the weights and the layout - do you want an end washroom (eg Eldis Explore 402 or Lunar Quasar 462) or an end kitchen (eg Lunar Arriva or Coachman Vision 380-2), or a fixed bed layout ('4 berth') to use as a 2 berth and leave the bed made up (eg Sprite Alpine 4 or Bailey Pursuit 430-4). You could also consider a special edition of a laayout you like to get uprated kit for little extra expense (Many dealerships have editions of Swift, Elddis or Caochman vans amongst others - Although I'll have to bow out of advice in your locality!). If you intend to explore 'off piste' the Caravan Club CS or C&CC CL might suit, then perhaps an end bathroom dressing room format would be preferable, and if you want to shower on board regularly consider a van with a sealed shower cubicle. Hope this all helps!

Oh and be prepaired to spin a coin as the quality of any individual caravan is a pretty unknown quantity despite any maker's reputation or lists of 'Quality Approvals'

The ' Friday afternoon' caravan is not yet dead, unfortunately.
