Buying a used touring caravan

Leave that Avondale where it is and get in some practice for going round dealers' yards by looking on the Internet.  Get some idea of what you want. Many caravans do have beds over six feet long but I've not seen one that didn't double as seats duing day use.

I'm not new to the club but I am new to Club Together.  I wanted to start my own discussion but can't work out how to do that - so I'm coming in on this one as we're not a million miles away from the same problem.

After 8 years of happy motor-homing we have sold our motorhome as we intend to move onto a caravan (partner retired, need to cut back on outgoings).  We are looking for a good 2 berth, 2nd hand caravan but have been strongly warned by a professional caravan repairer regarding damp.  So here's my big question for all you long time, in the know, caravanners out there - is there a make/model of caravan which is less susceptible to damp?

We've been told that the German made caravans can be better because of the way that they are made, but there seems to be few of them out there on the market.  Maybe because they are so great, people don't sell them on!

We can't afford to make a costly mistake, so armed with our trusty damp meter..........but before we go looking, we'd really like to hear some advice from people "further down the road" than we are

It looks like you've sorted how to start your own discussion as it's now in the Caravans Section so if anybody wishes to respond to your post, it would be better done in your own separate thread.
