It might be me and if so please could someone guide me but - I have just been to the Classifieds page to search for a Bailey Unicorn Cadiz. Previously, if searching you could put in the make and the model of van you were looking for and this search showed up about 6 Cadiz for sale before. Now with the changes you cannot put in the model, just Bailey. Now it is showing 511 vans!  I really haven't got the time/patience to search through this lot!! Is it me? Any guidance would be appreciated because surely this can't be right.

Never went there on the old site. However, just had a look and although there are a lots of filters, there does not seem to be the obvious one of model. I would assume this is an oversight, as otherwise it returns far too many vans to trawl through. If I was an advertiser it would certainly put me off.

If the filter is there it is well hidden.

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Select classifieds, then go to the top right hand corner " featured ", then "touring caravans " a drop down arrow will then guide in through all the makes and models.

Please pop onto live chat if you require any further assistance. 

With kind regards .

Kimberley.

Thank you Kimberley, I have done that but the drop down menu , as I said, guides me to make but no option for models. Just checked again, still the same. Can someone check this please. Thank you.

Last year I bought an Isabella awning from the classified ads. I have just gone to look at Thule products and find that there is not longer an option to use a key word.

If I wanted to look for an Isabella awning now I would have to look at all the ads for awnings.

Also when looking at the headings under accessories they seem t be in a random order which makes it difficult to easily find what you are looking for.

 I've looked too. It does appear that you can now only chose a make of caravan whereas before you could chose a make and model, which did seem more useful. Cant find a search bar either....

Hi all

Could someone guide me to the late availability section of the new web site. I am finding the new web site much less intuitive than the old one. Thanks

Select UK holidays, then search and book. There is a green late availability text button towards the top of the page. Plus also a late availability tab, alongside certified locations, just below.

Not only are you unable to search by "model" in the classified ads, I can't work out how to view the full details/photos of a specific caravan. There doesn't appear to be a link to follow.

FTAO Kimberley,

As you are aware there are a lot of comments re the new website but my comment,following on from my previous one above, concerns the Classifieds.

I have been looking again and there is no longer the option to enter a key word.

Not only that, if you use the drop down menu, as you have suggested, to select Accessories then Awnings you get a list of results.

BUT if you then try to sort the results-I tried sorting on highest price- the drop down reverts to ALL accessories rather than the selected Awnings??

As I mentioned it is also puzzling why the drop down menu is not in alphabetical order.

I have seen comments on other threads re making CC aware hence this post and as I wish to use the classifieds I am concerned that the issues are putting many off looking.
