If you are unsure about the age of the caravan, you can simply find out by checking the serial number on the chassis. If not, you can also double-check with the help of the handbook provided. Along with this, always prefer newer models when going for used caravans. This is because newer models usually have the latest specs and features. Aside from this, parts availability is also not an issue. With older and obscure models, parts availability can turn out to be a major issue.
- Make sure it is not stolen: Caravans, at times, can be targeted by thieves. To counter this, make sure of the fact that the vehicle is legitimate. Aside from this, also run some mandatory checks, such as the search for scratches, or any hidden damages
- Make sure it’s watertight: Make sure that the vehicle is waterproof. To guarantee this, make sure to thoroughly check windows, the roof, any aerials or flues, and the roof light surrounds. This is because water leakage is a serious issue and can cause severe damage to your caravan’s body. To counter this effect, do thorough checks under thè sink, mattresses, and cushions. Also, press against the walls. If there is softness, then it is a red flag.
