Used caravans are much cheaper than brand new models, which makes them ideal for first timers looking to get their feet on the caravan ladder, but there are certain things to check for before handing over your money.
In this video, we meet Ed Cross from Towergate Insurance, who explains that it’s important to know as much about the history of a used ‘van as possible, and to make sure the caravan is in good condition and has been well maintained.
Ed talks through the process of insuring your used caravan and getting an HPI check to make sure it has not been stolen or written off.
He also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of buying via a dealer or privately, and how to register your caravan through CRIS, the caravan registration scheme.
