Recently there was a big surge in Caravanning, with more and more people buying new touring caravans and static caravans. A lot of the time they are only used for a single season before the owner decides caravanning is not for them or they move onwards and upwards to a bigger model. This means that someone looking to find a cheap second hand caravan can find loads of bargains. However, as you find with used cars, you need to follow a few simple rules to make sure the caravan you purchase is everything you are looking for.
If you are in the market for a bargain then the best way to buy is privately. There are many different places to buy privately, these include, but are not limited to: the internet, local newspapers, local shop adverts, Exchange and Mart, etc. But, buying anything privately means you have very little legal rights against the seller should anything go wrong.
Here are a few questions you should always ask the seller before buying your used caravan. Hopefully these questions will help you to avoid any problems with the purchase of your new caravan.
Are you able to confirm that the seller is who he or she say they are and live at the address they gave you? You can easily check this by phoning Directory Enquiries and requesting the seller’s home number or knocking on a neighbour’s door to ask which number Mr So & So (the seller) lives at.
If all goes well and you have managed to safely buy your perfect caravan make sure that you have the correct caravan insurance cover for it. Normal car insurance does not generally cover a caravan. Insurance will cover you for accident, theft of the caravan itself and anything inside it.
